With the suspension of football almost everywhere in the world, due to Covid-19, there have been many creative ways that people have found to combat the period of isolation or quarantine.
This will probably be one of the best.
Leyton Orient, from the English fourth division, was playing this afternoon at Bradford City, after 3 pm, but the match, like all professional football in the country, was canceled.
But the club did not want the fans to be left with nothing to do and decided to simulate the game in… Football Manager (by the way, a good opportunity to remember who are the youngest stars in the greatest football simulator in the world).
Leyton announced the original idea on social media, which allows its membership to choose the starting eleven, the tactics and make decisions during the 90 minutes.
The result can be seen on the twitter of the British emblem, which we leave below.
