Visiting My FM Club IN REAL LIFE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- You probably know this by now, but I visited my Football Manager club in real life and it was amazing. We got to spend five days with the club we took from the obscurity of the Austrian second division to the Champions League knockout stages. It has been my dream to do this ever since I started playing Football Manager and to make those dreams a reality with such a cool group of people I am so happy we were able to do this.
We got a tour of the whole facility, met the team, practiced with the team, and attended a full match. We befriended the coaching staff and the backroom staff and became a lifelong fan of the Viennese club. Football Manager tells such compelling stories every time I play it, but this is the first time I’ve been able to see what those stories would mean in real life - to connect FM with the people you actually play as. I hope the video gets across how special that was for us.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

It's gonna be tough to get something as magical as this for FM23
That's what we said about Oriental Dragon last year
@@lennartj5356 he never got invited there tho
He will get appointed as real manager in 23😎
well...
This comment aged well
My favourite part was when Zealand said, "It's Dorfin' time" and then proceeded to Dorf all over Austria
Even funnier when you know that Dorf just means village
lmao, that's gold
@@RiciB13Hahahahaha
Its also an accurate description of 95% of Austria
Just Dörfer - and Wien lol
My friend: Why are you watching a random, second league Austrian team's video with some American guy narrating?
Me: Uhhhh, so there is this game...
Underrated comment
If you make Wrexham your FM23 save you could probably get into the new Deadpool movie.
He tweeted Wrexham asking if he could attend a game with Ryan Reynolds if he chooses them for his FM23 save.
hahahahahaha
best comment on here
this is the face of a man who's realised he's in way too deep
Not deep enough until he's managing the real life club
This was so cool tho!
yeah he is not (yet) the big confident presence arriving at the club, but that is probably just why it works for Z
I have been supporting Mansfield Town (English 4th division) since 1995, even though I am Belgian 🙂. I got the shirts and everything. This year I finally got around to see them play in the promotion playoffs and at Wembley for the promotion final, with my 5 year old son. It was a magical experience and he is now already a Mansfield Town fan. We are going to see them play again before the end of this year. A family tradition is born.
Thank you Football Manager! 😀
Your son will cherish the memories, good job mate.
Amazing story!
Ayy big up MTFC!
Ayyyy me to man, I’m all the way out in Australia and although I haven’t had the pleasure to watch them
I hope to one day up the Stags
Amazing! I'm from Mansfield and have had a season ticket ever since I could! Sorry you had to witness such a poor display though 😆 hopefully we'll be better when you next watch us!
I love Floridsdorfer AC for doing this, really a great club runned by nice people! Hope they'll get their promotion this or one of the next years!
Wow. The immersion in these modern FM games is crazy
Any minor club should be taking this as an opportunity to grow their fanbase internationally. I'd be curious to see if they found if their sales in memorabilia had any increase due to Zealand. Maybe get a discount with the kit for FM23 club save?
Beautiful, this club is going to remember you forever
And we will remember them
FAC made this save even more special with all their support and then this trip. Well done to them and I hope they have success in the next few years. How many of us are going to be starting as FAC on FM23? lol
I may not get FM23. Once I finish my Smorgon save in Belarus from FM21 I might have the Dorfers for one of my saves on FM22. I try to not have too many saves at once.
Oh man that was dope! Cant wait for the influx of international support for them! A stream only save next year perhaps? Or a tutorial one?
Yeah, they’re fun to follow on Twitter. And they’ve been playing well this past season, too.
This was super wholesome and funny. I love how Zealand looked out of place when they were introducing him on the pitch as the youtube from new york that has 200k subs and plays FM...LOL hahahahahahaha he was knighted super nerd the moment he got off that plane
He was knighted support nerd when they invited him 😂
Beautiful video. Like others said, gonna be hard to top the love you got from this beautiful Austrian club, but I can't wait to see what team you choose in FM23.
It is incredible what can happen when you get people passionate about football like Z and combine them with people passionate about their club like Floridsdorfer AC. Absolutely beautiful stuff. How can't you be romantic about Football?
If I ever make it to Austria, an FAC game is certainly going to be on the to-do list! An amazing experience for Z, the club, and all of us.
Thank you Zealand. you experiencing our football culture like this warms my heart. I feel like ive played on that pitch. Gonna make me enjoy the streams even more now
You really dorfed. incredible
With such facilities you should really be in the 3rd tier of Austria. But well done to Floridsdorfer AC for almost promoting to tier 1. Charming video
Awesome video and what an awesome club too. If (or when) FAC earns promotion you gotta go back for a Vienna derby
This video was awesome. You did a really great job of keeping it about the content and not about you like a huge majority of other RUclipsrs do. Looks like everyone took the whole thing in good humour.
It would be amazing if they made it to the topflight one day and live out the dream for real! Up the Dorfers!
Loving the IKEA cupboards being used in the locker room 😅
You’d never see Kevvy however many times he’s won the showdown being invited to any of the clubs he manages in the game. Well done Zealand and not just for being an American who understands and follows actual Football.
I always thought this was a "park to prem" team. but to find out they are a real team and someone i can follow. Their stadium is cracking, open and with such an awesome surrounding.
Personnel and footballers are really cool guys, very nice to watch. Great experience for all the parties involved.
The ultimate dream for any FM player. I can only dream what it would be like to go to an Union Berlin game.
this is a great idea. would love to do something similar. we are just at the podcast, review stage
Mate. One of the best videos on RUclips. Love the content. You were amazing as well. Thanks for a great video.
Zealand was basically a make a wish kid
Zee promised us more irl content and i'm quite impressed👏👏👏
OMG Zealand! This is so cool. I'm so happy for you, brother. Fantastic!
This was clearly an incredible experience that all parties involved will cherish. #upthedorfers
Do a Brøndby IF career in 2023. They just got new american owners and that has split the fansbase in two. Please bring us back to Europa League or even Champions League. We are a sleeping GIANT. Love your videos!
6:27 it's bayern's chief scout gathering info for their next match
this video is elite just like the dorfers
"First time for you in lederhosen?"
Love it.
This is the greatest moment in football manager history
Class vid, shows how magical fm can really be
I love this so much and loved it so much during the save. We all became infatuated with FAC for their great support and we won’t forget them even after the save has ended. It was such a great positive relationship and a win-win for both sides!
Wow Zealand that’s a really amazing experience, I watched this whole video with a big smile on my face. Wholesome stuff ❤
Amazing video
This is prolly a pretty good way for smaller "unknown" clubs to potentially get a lot of new fans and people watching/following them.
Finding out that one of the biggest FM RUclipsrs manages a small team from my city is crazy. I've been an SK Rapid Wien fan all my life, but this is amazing. Fun fact: Arnautovic started at FAC.
this is one of my favourite videos
Really cool. Now i gotta go to Debrecen in Hungary
Hit me up when you are there...I can show you everything lol
Same I need to go to südtirol
I need to go to Farum and visit Nordsjælland-
I love how Zealand is both like this is really awesome and I don’t know what on earth I’m doing here at the same time
Zealand is a FAC Legend
6:27 Theres a figure peeking at them from the hallway 🤣
Zealand should be their manager for 1 game with the tactics he used on FM.
As I met him there when they played and talked around an hour about everything, I can say he is the nicest and coolest guy I have ever seen from youtube in my entire life
Thank you again for the time we had and the 2 goals we celebrated 🔵⚪️🇦🇹🫶
11:48 oh hey myself 👋
Amazing. They have a new fan 🎉
Everything just because of Football Manager. That's just incredible 💙
Mate this is some truly wholesome content 🥰
You know that feeling when you want to like a vid but you already did?
This. Awesome.
Loved watching this, not only for them giving you an inside look of the day to day life at the club but how it must’ve felt for you seeing it. Incredibly wholesome video
This was cool. Would have loved this for the Dragons save.
This video makes me unreasonably happy.
I really liked the media guy, he seemed very genuine
Take a third division team in denmark next fm😊 Nice vid
That underpaid "marketing manager" is doing some great work using youtube to promote the club. Idk why almost all the PR´s from mid-sized and small football clubs are so conservative about such things, RUclipsrs and influencers can bring much attention.
Zealand, congrats!! You deserve it 💙
So cool, man!
Its time for me to visit Wurzburger kickers, the team that I brought from 3.Bundesliga in FM16 to Champions League 5x winners by 2025.
I had no idea that Zealand was regular size.
I thought he was 5’ 2
@@kayodobrovevo3864 me too
An absolute dream!
Great vid. Perfect ending too! I'm very excited to see how practice went!
I love this kind of videos! Congrats for the experience!!!
This is amazing
What a great experience! Thanks for sharing Zealand.
The talk: "We are expected to win today boys. So dont let the fans down!"
The team: *neutral*
The talk: "The media have given you a lot of praise lately, show them why!"
The team: *Happy and motivated*
Bate, the Dragons, The Dorflers… what is next? Maybe take a Bosnian club - from division 1 or 2, it’s an unreal challenge, it took me 20 years to win the Champions League :)
6:28 someone is peaking into the room!
Will forever keep tabs on the dorfers, cheers Z
#UpTheDorfers
I love this
They have a decent little stadium.
6:27
Hello there!
This is awesome content!!!!! Up the Dorfers
Looks like a great experience. Well done fella!
That had to have been such an amazing adventure. I’m jealous it would be awesome to just get to see a match let alone all the extra.
I wish you shouted DEMAND MORE half way through the first half
This is massive! So pleased for you.
6:51 Yeah I see that a lot too
the beautiful game
The team talk was amazing Zealand xD
Beautiful video, congrats
Amazing video. What a great experience
Who would’ve thought fm would come this far
I think he's completed football manager ngl
such a wholesome video
that's totally crazy
Hahaha love this stuff, cant wait for part 3
This is just amazing
Hey Z and everyone! To think that FAC are currently 4th in the austrian Bundesliga :O (this is a comment from the future ( end of September 2023) )
These videos are great
I want to visit my fm club too, in fm 20 i made history with TNS from england (who plays in wales)
Zealand doing Zicke Zacke… now I can die a happy man :)
Amazing
this is awesome :) When you train them in real life? :D
Dope
