But anthems are usually sung before or after a match and be as proud of the team as the national anthem. As we know football anthem song has many kinds of figurative language because inside anthem contains the meaning suggested for giving spirits to football club in emotional aspects Dancygier & Sweetser, (2014, p.1) stated that “Figurative language was thought of as being one aspect of what gives a text – in particular, a poetic text – special esthetic value”. It means that the message delivered to the audience feels more beautiful than he directly talks about the personal qualities of his subjects, such as kindness, charm, and beauty.
