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.

How the hell did Willian get so fat so quickly, barely been a few weeks and looks like he ate an elephant

Hazard started the season as a fat fuck, Willian is a fat fuck, this is the discipline and mentality Jose had to deal with

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.
