7×1 Wasn't the End

Hey there, virtual and real football fans! If you've already survived the trauma of 7×1 (yes, it still hurts), and you think that nothing can bring you down in the world of football, come here, because David Luiz is back to prove that resilience is the watchword. And this time, he's not chasing after a striker in the World Cup, but rather starring in Copa City Studio Podcast. The defender of the Flemish arrives as the main star of the second episode of this official podcast, which, in addition to talking about football, also warms up the hype for the launch of the first game tycoon of football in the world: the long-awaited City Cup.

Now, let's do a naughty analysis of this chat, with a lot of sarcasm, jokes and, of course, references to other games and epic moments in the sport. Because if there's one thing we learned from David Luiz, it's that, even after taking a historic beating, the important thing is to keep smiling and showing your love for football!

David Luiz: From Hero to Meme, and Now Podcast Star

There is no way to talk about David Luiz without remembering the fateful 7×1. That semifinal against Germany in the 2014 World Cup became a milestone. While the whole of Brazil cried, David Luiz became the “official meme of the defeat” with his teary eyes and his plea to “make the people happy”. But, my friend, David Luiz’s career didn’t end with that game (thank goodness, right?). The guy had an incredible journey, and that’s exactly what the podcast is about.

Node Copa City Studio PodcastDavid talks about his glorious spells at clubs like Chelsea and PSGwhere he lifted trophies and titles that we only dream of. UEFA Champions League? He has. Libertadores Cup? He has it too! While many people from our neighborhood are still trying to put together a decent team in FIFAthe man has already collected 26 titles.

Copa City: Football Meets Tycoon Simulation

Now let's talk about this City Cup. Look, if you thought football was only about FIFA and PES (now eFootball), it's time to expand your horizons. City Cup promises to be the first tycoon football team in the world. You know those games where you become a tycoon and manage cities, amusement parks or even prisons (Hi, Prison Architect)? So now's your chance to be the guy who manages football clubs!

In the podcast, the presenter Pedro Pinto gives more details about this game that will put you, the player, in the role of manager. Here, the focus is not on dribbling and scoring goals, but on managing resources, competing for them with others Panopticons (think of a mix of Football Manager with SimCity). Remember that, just like in real life, resources are scarce, and you need to be quick to get ahead and win the best players and sponsorships. As is typical in simulation games, your management skills are what will dictate the success or failure of your team.

Now, for those who are used to playing with just the Manchester City in FIFA and have rivers of infinite money to spend, here the conversation is different, my friend. It's no use just opening your wallet, you'll have to use your head to do well and ensure victory in the world of City Cup.

Pedro Pinto: The Master of Ceremonies and the Connection with Sports

We cannot ignore the importance of the presenter Pedro Pinto in this podcast. For those who don't know, the guy was an anchor on CNN and master of ceremonies of the UEFAthat is, his resume is one that would make any football commentator envious. During the episode, Pedro and David talk in a relaxed manner, but always bringing that tactical and technical vision that only those who live football know how to convey.

And it's worth remembering: the podcast is a showcase not only for the City Cupbut also to get to know the behind-the-scenes of the careers of the greatest football icons, such as David Luiz. They talked about titles, future ambitions and even how he sees Flamengo in 2025. It's like that tactical analysis of Football Managerbut with someone who actually lived through it all.

The Future of Virtual Football: Copa City Arrives with a Bang

And for those who are excited about the release of City Cupwrite it down in your diary: the game arrives in early 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PRAÇA. If you have ever played simulators like Football Manager or SimCityyou will feel at home, but with a difference: here, the focus is on the world of football.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to deal with pressure from sponsors, manage talent and, of course, overcome resource scarcity (the old-fashioned way) Brazilian Championship Series B), City Cup will give you that experience. And look, managing a team without money can be as difficult as playing one Dark Souls with one arm tied behind your back. But if you survive, the feeling of victory will be epic.

Oh, and if you want to secure your copy of the game now, it is available for pre-order at Steam. Adding the game to your wishlist also helps developers gauge people's interest and, who knows, bring even more cool content for the launch!
