Greek footballer Kostas Manolas had to pose next to a real lion in a new video. Former Roma defender was brought in by Sharjah FC from the UAE Pro League last week and suffered some disruption during his signing announcement. Mr. Manolas’ reaction to the lion’s mighty roar is now going viral.
The video opens with the footballer posing for some club photos in full gear next to a lion to mark Mr Manolas’ arrival at Sharjah FC. Moments later, the lion seemed a little excited and let out a mighty roar in the direction of the footballer. The footballer became so frightened that he jumped up in fear and stepped over the warning tape in an attempt to get away from the predator.
