It is a real trend at this European Championship. Players or coaches taking sides over the Coca Cola bottles at the post-match press conference.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Locatelli pushed them aside, while the Russian national coach happily worked one in.
Roberto Martinez also took sides today. After the match against Denmark, the national coach glanced at one of the bottles, turned the label over to the cameras again, saying: “The Red Devils love Coca Cola.”
The striking action should come as no surprise. Coca Cola is one of the sponsors of the Belgian Football Association. This year, the cans again feature the image of our Red Devils.
Martinez can therefore in no way blame you for not thinking about the partners of the association.
A few minutes later, Romelu Lukaku took it one step further. The striker did not even wait until the end of the press conference – he brought it up himself.
“Coca Cola call Roc Nation,” the attacker grinned. “We can work together.” Roc Nation is the management office of the Red Devil.
