🤬🇦🇷🇮🇹 Leonardo Ulloa on his TERRIBLE experience with Claudio Ranieri, the coach who led historic Leicester in the Premier League to the championship: 🗣️ "As a coach, very good; as a person.... A DISASTER. We were in Los Angeles, I had two offers from Premier League clubs that would double my salary and give me a chance to play, and I hadn't been playing even though we'd just won the title. I sit down with him and say: 'Claudio, I've got these two offers to go play, to earn more money.' He tells me: 'No, Leo, I want you to stay with me because I need you. This year we're playing Champions League, league, and both cups—you're gonna get way more minutes.' He told me he wasn't bringing in anyone, and then on the last day of the transfer window—the last day, just like they love it in England—bam, 30 MILLION FOR SLIMANI. I said, 'I'm not gonna play.' I go to his office, ask him about it, and he says: 'Look, I didn't know—this is the club's doing.' I let him have it, said a whole bunch of stuff... What he really wanted was for me to stick around because Slimani and Mahrez were heading off to the Africa Cup of Nations mid-year, and once I realized that, I confronted Ranieri and told him: 'I'm not playing for you anymore, not now and not in December when you need me.' And from there, things started going sideways a bit... The club didn't treat me wrong—the one who screwed up was Ranieri. I said: 'I'M GONNA GO SCRATCH MY BALLS.' I basically stopped training. My quad started bothering me... I'd go to the club, put in my hours, but I wasn't training. Before all that, I talk to the captains and tell 'em: 'This isn't against you guys or the team— I JUST DON'T WANNA PLAY FOR THE COACH ANYMORE. I don't wanna hear it.'" (Source: @Offsiders_PRJ)
