Gerard Piqué announced his big return to football as a coach. But the reality linked to this announcement, revealed Thursday, has angered a large number of people.
“ It’s a new year and after careful consideration I have decided to return to football. I miss him a lot. This time it won’t be as a player. It will be as a coach. I will share more details at the end of the week. » Thus expressed Gerard Piqué in a message posted on January 9 on social networks. Two days later, the former FC Barcelona player lifted the veil on the meaning of these mysterious words. And we must recognize that his followers did not really appreciate what they discovered on Thursday.
“ OK, I told you I’d be back… My next chapter: I’m joining #SorareRivals as General Manager! ” Well no. Gerard Piqué had not decided to become coach of a real football team. It was actually a teaser for the fantasy football game app Sorare. Not at all to the taste of many Internet users. “ Brother, you are playing with our emotions for a commercial », noted with chagrin this Twittos. “ Disappointment “, simply wrote this other commenter. “ Fraud on and off the field », blurted out this third.
OK I told you I would be back…
My next chapter: I’m joining #SorareRivals as a General Manager! 🤝Challenge me head-to-head for your first match, and get rewarded for your passion. ⚔️
