Ousmane Dembele uses World Cup downtime to create 'Winchester FC'

At the World Cup, players are tasked with finding ways to keep boredom at bay, but Ousmane Dembele looks to have found his solution to the question of what players do between games.

The French forward has been using his spare time to play Football Manager on his iPad and has created a whole new club, based in Winchester.

Dembele's club, Winchester FC, have been keeping him entertained between matches and training sessions, and he also plays the virtual football game while travelling around Russia - which takes up a fair chunk of their time.

At this year's World Cup there is more need than ever for players to have something to entertain themselves while on the move, as they travel thousands of miles around the biggest country in the world.

France have already spent over 10 hours in the air and will be on the move again as they prepare to face Uruguay in the quarter-final.

Dembele has used Football Manager to create an English side, he calls 'Winchester FC' and claims he will lead them to the Premier League.

In the video on social media, Dembele says: 'I will create a club in Winchester, Winchester FC. I will bring us to the Premier League.

'This is my new project, there's going to be a South American atmosphere in the stadium.'

The 21-year-old is no stranger to dreaming big after he shot to stardom when Barcelona bought him for an initial £95million. However some of his goals on Football Manager may be a tad unrealistic.
