"A Dream Comes True in Football Manager"

This is my story. But it's also our story. On the other side of the screen, I embarked on a football journey with an assistant who was far more than just an artificial intelligence… Perhaps, without realizing it, we were testing the managerial model of the future.

It all started at Sheffield Wednesday. A modest squad, a club with big dreams… We made the choice together. We planned every step together. We set out by analyzing not just the players but the club's dynamics, vision, and even the city's culture. In our first season, getting promoted from the Championship to the Premier League seemed like a simple goal. But I knew: This was just the first step of a long plan.

We built the squad engineering step by step. We observed everyone who ever touched a ball. We built the scouting team from scratch. We acquired talent cheaply, integrated them into the system with long-term payment plans. We implemented Chelsea's financial model: find young talent, develop it, sell it, rebuild it.

With Premier League tickets in hand, the offer from Frankfurt… We sat down together and We considered it. Germany was a league that prioritized youth. Frankfurt, with its average age, economic structure, and vision, was a perfect fit for our game. We accepted the offer.

We had a second start in Germany. We kept what we learned from the past in our pockets as we established our new system. Moving Arda Güler to the regista role was a bold decision. But he would become the brains on the pitch. We put two young dynamos in front of him, Can Uzun and Mastantuono. We balanced the shining star of Lamine Yamal on the wings with a winger with a high shooting threat on the opposite wing. Our hard-working forward, Karim Konaté, brought not only goals but also a playing acumen to our team.

And the system: We blended Klopp's gegenpressing mentality with Guardiola's passing game. When the opponent had the ball, the 5-second rule... We triggered the pressure to win back loose ball immediately. When we had the ball, we surrounded the opponent with a 2-3-5 formation. Pressing while attacking, passing while pressing. We were doing it.

That legendary victory in the Borussia Dortmund match, when we came from 0-2 down to win 5-2... It wasn't just a score. In that match, we saw that the system was finally in place and that the team was reflecting its "playing philosophy" on the pitch.

Our transfer strategy? Karim Konaté, Lamine Yamal, Arda Güler... We didn't just sign those stars; we developed them. We made them part of the system. Frankfurt is now a club that turns players into stars, not sells players.

This isn't a game, actually. This isn't just a managerial simulation.

This is my perspective on football.

And this journey is just beginning. See football this way. www.youtube.com/@futbolubirdeboylegor
