Joris Brys Challenges Ibiza-Boys in Sporza EK-Manager: Ronaldo and Depay Unlikely Picks
Belgian journalist Joris Brys has thrown down the gauntlet to his 90 Minutes colleagues Daan and Tuur, who are currently enjoying themselves in Ibiza, by challenging them to the Sporza EK-manager game. Brys, confident in his team named “The Specials,” humorously questioned whether the Ibiza duo had put enough thought into their team selections, implying they were too relaxed with their feet in the sand.
While Daan and Tuur shared their joint dream team from Ibiza, Brys was quick to point out the quality over quantity aspect of team management. Upon seeing that they had selected Memphis Depay and Cristiano Ronaldo, Brys expressed doubt about their choices, playfully suggesting they hadn’t considered their selections carefully.
In Brys’ team, “The Specials,” there is no room for a 39-year-old Portuguese or a Dutch hobby rapper. Instead, Brys has placed his faith in Phil Foden, believing the Manchester City player will shine at the Euros after an impressive season. With a preference for Premier League players, Brys unintentionally ended up with five City players in his team, emphasizing the advantage of their existing chemistry on the field.
Maintaining his Belgian pride, Brys made sure to include three Belgian players, including Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku, alongside Romelu Lukaku. His love for the Belgian national team and his superstitious belief that choosing them in his virtual team will bring them luck are evident in his selection process.
In terms of goal-scoring, Brys trusts in Lukaku and Harry Kane to deliver, with a light-hearted comment that Kane may have to pass the goal-scoring title to his strike partner in the end. However, the goalkeeper position remains a weak spot for The Specials, with Brys admitting to a budget constraint in that area but finding a solution by swapping out his initial choice for a more dependable player.
With his team now complete, Brys exudes confidence that he will outperform his Ibiza-based colleagues in the Sporza EK-manager game. The competition between the mainland and the island promises to add an extra layer of excitement to the tournament predictions.
Overall, Brys’ strategic team selections, mixed with humor and banter, set the stage for an engaging and competitive EK-manager showdown with his fellow podcast members. As the tournament unfolds, fans will be eagerly watching to see if Brys’ predictions and choices prove to be successful in the virtual realm of fantasy football.
