Footballers play Football Manager too. And sometimes they leave evidence.
After another good performance from Pizzi, crowned with a goal, the praise started pouring in. But one piece came from an unexpected place: Football Manager itself.
The news from the save
The Benfica midfielder shared an Instagram story showing his FM screen. There was a news item forwarded by the club’s head of media: “Sanches praises Pizzi”. In the game, Renato Sanches said he was a huge fan of Pizzi and was looking forward to seeing him in action against Paços de Ferreira.
Pizzi’s caption said it all: he tagged Renato and wrote “my boy”, with a laughing emoji.
A friendship that goes back years
The two were teammates at Benfica, so the joke makes perfect sense. And, let us be honest, who has never screenshotted an FM news item to send to a friend?
What is the strangest news item you have ever seen in FM?
