There you have it, Gervinho is actually a magician pretending to be a footballer

Gervinho let the cat out of the bag during the Africa Cup of Nations final. Unbeknownst to him, the Roma forward was on camera when he decided to flex his sorcery muscles and summon the CAF logo out of thin air.

Either that or it was just a lucky coincidence that his hand gesture synced up with an effect by the programme director. Think about that for a second. Think of the odds of that happening. It’s far more likely that Gervinho possesses mystical powers and has utilised them to make it as a professional footballer.

Well, you can’t pull the wool over our eyes anymore, Yao Kouassi.
