Wolves forward Diogo Jota has revealed he has been playing computer game Football Manager to pass the time during the Coronavirus lockdown.
The 2019-20 season was brought to a halt last month, with prime minister Boris Johnson ordering members of the public to stay indoors to prevent the spread of the virus.
Football clubs have been consistent in their approach, closing training grounds and designing bespoke home workout plans for their players.
To alleviate the boredom Jota has appointed himself virtual manager of non-league club Telford and has already progressed to the year 2029. It's an activity which has given him a different perspective of Wolves' journey from Championship to the upper echelons of the Premier League.
'Detaching myself from it, you understand more clearly why this and that happened the way it did,' Jota told the Guardian. 'There is clearly influence from the coaching staff. From the physical part, where Antonio (Dias) helps us a lot.
'Then we have a mental coach, Julio (Figueroa), who helps us a lot too. We know that for every problem we face we will always have someone related to that specific area who can help us.
'For example, if we look at last season compared to this one, we see that we have been changing the tactical system a few times, adapting to the opposing teams, taking away from them any chance of breaking our system. And with these systems enhancing our qualities, we players have to adapt and help the team as well as possible.'
The Premier League campaign has been suspended indefinitely and the end date could be moved back to allow the season to be completed, but football's governing bodies are yet to agree on concrete plans.
Alternatively, the season could be brought to a premature end. In these circumstances Jota, who has registered 15 goals and six assists this term, believes Liverpool should be awarded the title.
'If we were to have the misfortune of not being able to end the season, I think that few people would oppose this. Of course, there are always rival clubs that could be against that but I think 95% of people would agree. For me they would be fair champions.'
Liverpool remain 25 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table. If the season were to continue, the Reds would require a maximum of six points from their final nine league matches to win a first league title in 30 years.
