Football Manager is not a game, it s life

In my life I have written a lot of poor texts, many medium, many good and some outstanding ones.

If I were asked about my favorite text from Bezprawnik, I would probably point to a polemic with Marysia Sadowska , where I deal not only with the myths about ACTA 2, but also why artists have low pensions or generally the market value of music in the 21st century. This is a text from the genre of these, when even the biggest opponents write "well, this time he succeeded."

Of course, I would probably correct my choice, for example, on a text about how Anna from Warsaw Media House wrote to me. Or an article about how after this text, Cisowianka dismissed this suppressive agency. Or maybe I would indicate a few, if not a dozen or so other columns?

When it comes to Spider's Web, the choice is definitely simpler. If I were to show someone what Spider's Web is to me and what I am to this website, I would send him to the text How to become the King of Europe in three seasons? A guide for beginner football managers . Maybe it wasn't my most important or even the smartest text on the website, but it was my favorite.

The Pole liked the pathetic speeches and Mozart's Requiem fired at important moments in the locker room. He liked to play on the emotions of his pupils, but in practice he was a rather calculating cynic. It is not known how much truth in this, and how much journalistic fantasy, but years later Krzysztof Stanowski wrote in his book that Kralka, when asked about his feelings, had to send him an SMS before the match, "You can go to the bookmaker, we will score 3-1 in extra time".

There, in the form of a story, I described my short career in one of the past parts of Football Manager. However, there were many such stories in my life, because they will be around two decades, several thousand hours, as every year, at the latest every two years, I start a new adventure again and then try to remember her shreds, trophies and, above all, names .

Only recently, in a fit of responsibility, I have definitively deleted the goals from my Football Manager 2019, where after seven seasons spent in Florence (6x Serie A, 3x Champions League) for thirteen years I moved to red Manchester, winning 12x Premier League, 12x Champions League, at the same time, selling out footballers worth almost half a billion euros almost every season, creating a budget reserve in billions of euros (moneybags stolen for dividends) and feeding the United Kingdom budget so intensively that India bought itself again.

A great adventure, but it's not just my adventure. There is a group of people in the world, including in Poland, on whom this type of stories are not very impressive - they experience and create them every few years in their no less impressive careers. "Football Manager is my life" is a book about me. And since you have reached this paragraph, most likely also about you. If Minecraft books can be created, I assure you that Football Manager should not have absolutely no complexes in this matter.

There was once such a joke: what would Mateusz Borek take to a desert island? The answer was: gel, Roman Kołton and gel for Roman Kołton. But this joke may have mistakenly assumed that the well-known mejwen did not know the Football Manager series. And in such a situation the answer would have to be different. Football Manager does not frighten even the philosophical and religious concept of eternal life.

Because there is no such resource of time that Sports Interactive cannot manage. Our career as a manager is one thing. But there are our boys. Searched in African villages, dug out in Serbia's second league, or led by hand to the world of big football straight from the school - although assistants nod their heads not seeing at low potential hidden obsession of scoring goals from nothing. I remember each of them, if he gave me reasons to remember myself.

I will not recall the Chelsea squad from the 2012 Champions League final, but I will quote my Glasgow Rangers from Football Manager 2012. With the smallest details. That's what Football Manager is. And we understand it, although explaining to others what this "Excel" obsession with relationships is ruining, can be an impossible task, even if we ask the Management Board for additional time to rebuild the social perception of the game into statistics tables.

Football Manager is not a game, it's life
