The Sheffield Wednesday forward also used one of the Leeds United manager’s quotes.
Fernando Forestieri has risked the wrath of Sheffield Wednesday supporters by posting a collage of photographs with the manager of local rivals Leeds United on Instagram.
The Wednesday forward was found not guilty of racial harassment towards the Mansfield Town defender, Krystian Pearce, during a pre-season friendly, on Thursday.
And in a seemingly-related post, Forestieri shared the following images from September’s Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough along with a quote from Marcelo Bielsa’s Marseille days on the theme of injustice.
The Sheffield Wednesday forward was born and raised in Rosario, the Argentine city where Bielsa is still revered for his spell in charge of Newell’s Old Boys nearly 30 years ago.
And it is not the first time this season that Forestieri has referenced his fellow Argentine on social media, having also shown his admiration after Leeds’ opening day win against Stoke.
Nevertheless, some of a Sheffield Wednesday persuasion aren’t best pleased. This is how some of replied to the 29-year-old:
dalesheffield: Delete
charlie.thomas555: Woah woah woah woah woah. What is this ****?
thom_kay84: YOU CAN’T HAVE HIM!!
lewis.rusby: Don’t be telling him any tactics
jjt2903: Basically saying Leeds are ***** and they’ve fallen apart again
Forestieri, who is reported to have rejected Leeds to sign for the Owls four years ago, has missed the best part of this month, and season, with a hamstring injury, but is in contention to play at Stoke on Saturday.
