Did anyone really think that a professional footballer could get fat overnight?

Online trolls accused Chelsea winger Willian of doing just that when this footage emerged of the Brazilian on international duty last week. https://twitter.com/SportEmperor/status/737690921010139136 https://twitter.com/tag1403/status/737418020851732480 https://twitter.com/sonywuzhere/status/737302344556249088 https://twitter.com/ConorSD/status/737291818384162816 https://twitter.com/ArmstrongAndy93/status/737287941316284416 The fact that the footage didn't truly reflect Willian's physique became apparent when the 27-year-old took to Instagram to prove that everything is not always as it initially appears. Willian posted a photograph of him showing off his toned stomach in Brazil training and while he didn't directly reference the gun-jumping critics, the message was crystal clear. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGM2dkvwJfX/?taken-by=willianborges88
