Bundesliga side Hoffenheim have well and truly revolutionised the training ground game by erecting a massive screen to analyse opponents and work on mistakes in real time.
Oh, and they have a cheek game of FIFA every now and then.
Do Hoffenheim want me to have a game or two because I'm more than happy to fly over and take on Andrej Kramaric and Oliver Baumann.

It is believed that manager Julian Nagelsmann wanted to erect the screen so he and his team wouldn't have to stop training to consult match footage. Now that is what you call efficiency.
According to reports, four cameras are used to record training sessions as the talented young manager can use his iPad to control what is on the giant TV.
Oh did I mention? They also play FIFA before and after training. Incredible.

Nagelsmann, who is regarded as one of the most talented managers in the game, clearly has a unique philosophy and it works. Just ask Real Madrid, who actually offered him a job earlier this year.
The 31-year-old actually rejected the chance to manage Los Blancos because he didn't want to move countries before saying 'he'll have another chance.'
Now that, my friends, is a bold statement.

For many, the opportunity of managing arguably the biggest club in Europe is a dream come true, so the fact that Nagelsmann, rejected that chance will shock many.
"Real Madrid called me," he said in an interview with 11Freunde.
"Who would hang up the telephone? Universe Football Club doesn't exist, so there's no bigger club than Real Madrid, but I am 31 years old, I will have another chance. I didn't want to move countries."
Fair play.
