Just one day after Cristiano Ronaldo made Coca-Cola lose nearly $ 4 billion in market value by picking up two bottles of the popular soft drink during a press conference and asking for water, the Portuguese got it. a copycat. And is that Paul Pogba repeated the same gesture, albeit with a brand of beer.
Manchester United player was chosen the MVP of the match between France and Germany, which ended with a 1-0 Gallic victory, and, as protocol dictates, he had to go before the media in the press room. Next to the micro there were two bottles of Coca-Cola, as in the appearance of CR7 the day before, but also one of water and another of Heineken, official sponsor of the Eurocup. It was the latter that he noticed.

Without saying a word, the midfielder grabbed the beer bottle and hid it under the table. The reason is unknown, as he made no other gesture or said anything at all. It was also the non-alcoholic version of the Dutch brand.
Curiously, Pogba had no problem in receiving the award minutes before that accredited him as the best player of the match and that is sponsored precisely by Heineken in its version 0,0.
Pogba’s gesture has not created the same commotion as Cristiano Ronaldo’s, although it has also been widely commented on on social networks. Some journalists and users have criticized the French for not respecting the tournament sponsors and for his double standards in not having trouble receiving the Heineken-sponsored MVP award.
The one that has not commented on the gestures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Pogba is UEFA, which has already seen how two of the main stars of the Eurocup have belittled two of the sponsoring companies of the tournament. Probably neither the highest body of European football nor the brands have liked this rebellion at all.
