Why do football players cover their mouths with their hands when they talk?

We’ve all seen football players talk to each other while covering their mouths. Why do they keep doing that? What are they trying to hide? Well, Burger King has finally cracked their secret and decided to lift the veil on this infamous gesture. Find out what’s really being said through 4 films by Buzzman, broadcast on TV from 24 September.

After showing the world why the use of VAR had been heavily criticized during football games, Burger King is now making new revelations about hidden conversations on the pitch.

Through a series of four comedies, Burger King stages players and staff members all holding their hands in front of their mouths to communicate so that their lips cannot be read. But what can they possibly be saying to each other? Are they talking about a game strategy that could turn the tide of the game? Or about a disputed decision? Or discussing the next big transfer?

No, not at all. We’ll let you guess, but we have our own idea.

The campaign, consisting of four 20s films, can be seen on TV and Amazon Prime Video from 24 September during the Paris Saint Germain vs Marseille Classico and all forthcoming Ligue 1 games.
