Dipecat Persib, Carlton Cole Semprot Umuh Muchtar

Liputan6.com, Bandung - Carlton Cole mengungkapkan kekesalannya setelah dipecat oleh manajer Persib, Umuh Muchtar. Striker asal Inggris itu menuding Umuh bertindak sendirian untuk mendepaknya.

Sebelumnya Umuh mengatakan Persib mengakhiri kontrak Cole pada putaran kedua ini. Ia dianggap gagal memenuhi ekspektasi dari manajemen.

Ya dari 17 laga, Cole hanya bermain dalam lima laga dan gagal mencetak gol. Umuh menyebut eks pemain West Ham itu dalam kondisi yang tidak prima sejak bergabung ke Persib.

"Serangan langsung pada saya seperti ini harus dihentikan. Lihatlah diri Anda dulu sebelum menuding orang lain. Saya sangat kecewa dengan ucapan Umuh kepada media Inggris," kata Cole dalam akun Instagramnya.

"Saya masih pemain Persib sampai saya berkata sebaliknya. Dia tidak pernah mendukung saya selama ini," ujarnya menambahkan.

Bahkan Cole menuding Umuh punya agenda tersendiri terkait pemecatannya dari Persib. "Dia ingin membawa pemainnya sendiri sehingga mendapat bayaran," kata Cole seperti dilansir Daily Mail.

I will be professional and calm as I usually am. But this direct attack on me for the whole season must stop. Look at yourself first before you point fingers at good people. I was very surprised and disappointed what came out of Umuh Muchtar's mouth on sky sports news in England. And I would like to clarify I have a great relationship with Persib and everyone connected to the team. But this manipulation of the media has to stop somewhere because when you intentionally try to damage my career that I have worked so hard for it starts to get personal. I have not once mentioned this mans name in a bad way, he has not once supported me since I arrived at the club. And I haven't been treated fairly but I kept my mouth shut and worked hard and kept everything professional. I am still Persib player until I tell you otherwise. I have a 1 year contract here and I have enjoyed it so far even though I have had to turn a blind eye to these direct attacks from this man in the media. Anyway let's hope for the best in the near future for Persib Bandung. 💙🐯
