How about this for a footballing fairytale? There once was a young coach in Norway, who yearned to reach the top. Among his trusted weapons as he embarked on his journey? The computer game Football Manager.
‘It’s a fantastic game, I have learned a lot about football,’ he once said. The coach enjoyed sitting in the virtual Old Trafford dugout. ‘Because that was my dream.’
How all those hours paid off. One day, his wish was granted. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was named manager of Manchester United!
This week Football Manager 22 hit the shelves and how better for Ole to spend an international break than replaying the past few weeks at Old Trafford via the computer game?
