We'll get you through the winter break with "Football Manager 2020"

8.1.2020

Translation: machine translated

It's the winter break in the European football leagues. We miss the most important minor matter in the world. The legendary coaching duo Rüegg / Balissat are therefore leading digitec FC to glory and honour in "Football Manager 2020" - at least virtually in the livestream from 1 pm.

The "Football Manager 2020" is a peculiarity. In the past, manager games were a dime a dozen, but today it stands alone. A tough manager simulation in which you have to control all aspects of a football club. Player wages, tactics, training schedules, substitutions - you can customise everything down to the last detail. A large proportion of the real leagues are already in the game, and thanks to an active Community, there is data from all over the world. You want to lead the Andorran serial champion FC Santa Coloma to the Champions League title? That's theoretically possible...

(Excel) table battle

"Football Manager" does away with things that distract you from your managerial job. At first I thought the sound wasn't working. Only then did I realise: there isn't any! No music in the menus, no clicking noises. Nothing. After all, it only distracts you from the hundreds of tables with performance data, wages and audience figures that you click through. This is about hard facts and analyses. Prefer wingers or counter-attacking? High pressing on the halfway line? And should I really send my ageing star player onto the pitch again on Saturday? The doctors say an injury is likely. The game actually has more to do with Excel than football...

You can see how Phil and I do as Christian Constantin and Ancillo Canepa in the livestream from 1 pm.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
