It would be a common thing to notice a group of Leicester City Football Club feeling rather down after a particularly sour match against Chelsea. But not these foxes! However, they were later enjoying, dancing, laughing, and joking in Denmark—showing people football players too can enjoy, celebrate, and even joke whenever the result is not positive.
Leicester City Chelsea: A Loss But Not a Party Pooper
A stir has emerged within the scope of football; Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet posted pictures and a video showing Leicester City footballers rejoicing shortly after a match with Chelsea. In the video, the players are enjoying Kanye West’s “All of the Light,” a hit party song, which is most appropriate for the occasion. But what caught everyone’s eye was one player holding up a sign that read, “Enzo, I Miss U.” And who is this Enzo anyway, that he is receiving this much attention after a loss?
The mystery behind the sign: A nod to former boss Maresca?
In fact, the sign appears to be a message to the former Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca, to come back who left the club earlier. It did not end with just the playful message; Harry Winks embracing the silliness of life was caught on video recording the party stating how ludicrous life was. Or as if the players were saying, “It’s okay, we lost, but we were still able to have fun!”
While fans may have anticipated some level of humility to be exhibited as the footballer took time to analyze a loss against Chelsea, they instead opted for a celebration that made Leicester fans chuckle. Watching these young, well-off athlete boys party immediately after defeat was somewhat amusing and, I suppose, made us realize that, at long last, football is just a game for entertainment and that it is okay to have fun even though the team lost. We should embrace the new.
Could This Have Been a Tactical Move or Just a Case of Misunderstanding?
While many fans on social media said things like ‘Are they celebrating a loss?’ and ‘Is this how Leicester City bounces back?’ Others knew it was just a group of players having some fun. In fact, football might be rather serious and, to some extent, even rough at times, and sometimes all you need is to let it go and dance along to Kanye West.
Who Will Replace Cooper?
Now, let’s go back to the point where we left off: business. In the same manner, though, Leicester City has not only the fun football-playing approach, but they have wised up and are dreaming of the future as well. Tellingly, information leaks indicate that the Foxes have begun preliminary discussions with possible successors for their current carded chief, villainized for the team’s current stands. Among the early contenders are Graham Potter, former Chelsea and Brighton manager, the former Netherlands star, and a potential returnee to management in Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Leicester’s Road Ahead: Chelsea’s Victory and the Busy December Schedule
However, as for Leicester, after the defeat against Chelsea, the next matches will not be easy at all. As the foxes get into their holidays, get ready to embrace a challenge in terms of their energy, talent, and determination. That defeat to Chelsea was hard to swallow, but Leicester’s players are fully aware that they have to get back to doing what they did in the first part of the season. Seven games in 31 days? It is not only the holidays that are packed for Leicester City—it is the matches, too.
Leicester City’s Grit and the Road to Redemption
Thus, as Leicester City prepares to play the Bees over the weekend, let us hope that the festive spirit will rekindle the Foxes and light up their play. Plus, who did not need some light and laughter after a winter of multidimensional gloom at the 16th spot?
