Richarlison celebrates in front of Red Rhinoceros at Milton Keynes Stadium
For the past couple of years I have often travelled the length and breadth of the country to watch my AG Fifa boys play in real life.
My most watched player would have to be Richarlison who I have seen several times , he was a young Watford hopeful when he first came to these shores , although Berty44 will recall the tale as I thought he was a young English lad in the U21 set up rather than a young Brazlian whizzkid.
He was on fire that day as he often was during his playing days for Red Rhinoceros.
The second occasion was at Milton Keynes , I was doing a favour for fellow manager Joe to run my eyes over his goalkeeper Onana who had an inspired game for Cameroon against the might of Brazil. I was very lucky as Neymar went off the pitch injured only for Richarlison to come on and take his place for Brazil , not only this but he also scored his first goal for his country and was named Man of the Match. It will be a long time before he re enters the league but you can be sure I will be looking out for that raffle !
Other notable players from my Fifa teams I have watched live are Marcus Rashford , Victor Lindelof , Scot McTominay , Tim Fosu-Mensah , Marcos Rojo , Bersant Celina , Oli Mcburnie .... and more I will have forgotten , they all seem to put in a good performance when Rhino is in the stands.
This isn't just a lonely hobby either , only a few weeks ago I was in the stands at Carrow Road singing the Emi Buendia song which didn't go down too well standing with the Man United fans. Alongside me that day was fellow AG manager TheMalien who was there to watch his young prodigy Dan James (since sold on despite a stellar performance in the red of Man United) .
This coming weekend I will be at the match and again I will be watching two of my boys play , Oli McBurnie will hopefully put a shift in for Sheffield United whilst young Tuanzebe is due a run out in the red of Man United.
I know my pal Jxcquesy is trying to sign up the whole Forest squad to make it easier for him to watch his Fifa boys .... but does anyone else partake in this hobby ?
