Game Day Rituals of Football Players
Football players often watch other matches on game days, contrary to the notion that they focus solely on their own games. Many players, including those from teams like Liverpool and Man City, keep an eye on ongoing matches through their phones or in the changing rooms. This habit is driven in part by the competitive nature of fantasy football, as players track scores and performances in real time. Such awareness allows them to stay mentally engaged and informed about their rivals' performances even before stepping onto the pitch themselves.
