Electronic Arts, in confirming the launch date for its
EA Sports Football Academy Nintendo DS title (March 20th) has inadvertently explained why Chelsea manager, Luiz Felipe Scolari, has taken his eye of the ball leading the Moscow-based club (
shurely, 'London-based'. Ed) to its current 'not being top' league position.
Apparently, Big Phil has been busy working with Peter Moore's EA Sports, because he "will be featured as the Academy Master" in the game.
The official blurb states that,"
Football Academy features 14 action packed mini games and over 90 hours of playing experience that will test football knowledge in all areas of the game and teach more about it, from identifying players and teams to understanding formations.
"Players can also compete with their own Academy team over Wi-Fi against friends and family to prove who has the best team and football expertise."
SPOnG reckons that Sir Alex Ferguson has colluded with EA to deflect Big Phil's attention.
