Paul Pogba's Mother Takes on Troll in New Adidas Spot

Paul Pogba has been "upstaged by his own mother" in his latest advert for adidas, according to Sam McEvoy of the London DAILY MAIL. The Frenchman starred alongside his mom "in a hilarious new clip" along with Jesse Lingard and rapper ASAP Ferg as "social media trolls called him out" for being "overrated." The ManU player is then challenged to a one-on-one but Pogba's mother, Yeo, "is on hand to outshine her son." In an "old western-style shootout," Pogba confronts "The Troller" in the middle of a street. After tweeting that he could best Pogba by himself, "The Troller" is told, "You couldn't even beat my mum," by the midfielder. After watching the clip, Lindgard claims the Twitter troll "just got faked" before mother Yeo is seen trying to "dab" (DAILY MAIL, 1/21).
