Premier League plan to broadcast FIFA 20 noise during behind-closed-doors matches

The return of Premier League football is edging ever closer.

The Premier League received government approval last week with the campaign set to resume on June 17.

Now that the major obstacles have been cleared, there are plenty of other details to sort out.

Neutral venues or home/away matches? What if a second wave prevents the season from being finished?

While there are also some minor aspects of football returning behind closed doors to consider.

One of them concerns the lack of crowd noise.

Those of you that have watched the Bundesliga in the last few weeks will be all too aware at quite how strange it is to hear every kick of the ball and every shout from the players.

But the Premier League plan to ensure supporters don’t have to endure the same silence for 90 minutes.

That’s because, according to the Daily Mail, they plan to broadcast crowd noise from FIFA 20 to help the watching experience.

No, really.

If approved, the crowd noise will be optional for viewers in the UK and accessed on the red button rather than the main channels. All 92 remaining Premier League matches will be shown on TV on Sky Sport, BT Sport, Amazon Prime and BBC.

On Thursday, clubs will discuss various innovations to help make the Premier League more watchable despite the empty stadiums.

Ideas include fan mosaics in the stands, 360° replays and a new tactical cam.

The turnaround was complete in the third minute of stoppage time with another expert finish as Liverpool held out for a famous win. But Nunez has now revealed how recent conversations with his new international boss have helped. Bielsa was appointed Uruguay manager in May, 15 months after being sacked by Leeds. Nunez says the experienced boss has given him advice on aspects of his game that need improving. He told Sport 890 : "Bielsa showed me some things that seem positive to improve. I hope to meet him next week and do my best for the team." He added: "Some things he thinks are better. Like, when the opposing team is behind, not to run in front of the second centre-back: to run behind so that he...
