After the expiration of his contract at Arsenal, French striker Alexandre Lacazette opted for a change of scenery, as he subsequently returned to his hometown club Lyon earlier this summer.
The former Arsenal captain’s spell at the Emirates was lukewarm at best, with multiple scoring droughts littered throughout.
Nevertheless, his return to Olympique has been a positive one so far, as the 31-year-old has found the back of the net 4 times in 7 games.
Les Gones are looking to grab a European Berth this season, and they recently faced a stern challenge in AS Monaco.
Lacazette and co turned up to the Principality in hopes of grabbing a victory, before being held to a 2-1 defeat by the home side.
Post-match discussions usually revolve around the game itself, with fans dissecting and discussing various elements.
However, fans on this occasion were more fascinated by Lacazette’s post-match interview, the reasons for which are as juvenile as it gets.
Football Twitter had a giggle rout at the expense of the striker, as he sounded eerily similar to Mickey Mouse during his post-match presser.
Laca had screamed his heart out during the game, spouting commands and instructions towards his teammates, leading from the front as the Captain’s Armband entailed.
Unfortunately, this significantly impacted his chords, and his vocal pitch dropped down severely.
As seen in this now viral interview, the striker sounds particularly squeaky, with his voice comparable to an adolescent child.
Aside from the Mickey Mouse references, seeing a 5’10 Frenchman sporting a shaven mug alongside a bushy beard speaks in such a puerile manner is enough to invoke a chuckle at the very least.
This is not how Lacazette normally sounds, of course, the Frenchman has a sufficiently deep voice which certainly suits his age.
Nonetheless, this one-off case was enough to keep Footy Twitter laughing.
One comment that even had us in stitches read, ‘Speaking like Mickey Mouse in a Mickey Mouse League’. Check out the reactions below –
UberEats Ligue 1 is the gift that keeps on giving folks, at least in terms of hilarity.
