TNT Sports’ Club World Cup coverage leaves Man City fans baffled with ‘career mode camera’
MANCHESTER CITY fans were left baffled by the camera angle used during TNT Sports’ coverage of the Club World Cup.
Manchester City beat Japanese side Urawa Reds 3-0 to set up a clash with Fluminense in the final.
But midway through the first half fans began to complain about the camera angle used, as it was zoomed out too much.
TNT Sports explained they had little control over the broadcast as the camera feed was supplied locally – not by them.
That did not prevent viewers directing their dissatisfaction towards the broadcaster however, with many airing their complaints.
One fan said: “Cheers TNT providing the career mode camera angles ”
Another added: “What is this camera angle?”
A third wrote: “That camera angle made me feel like I was sat in space.”
And another commented: “What’s gone on here. Like playing Fifa this camera angle ”
City took the lead at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium through an own goal scored by Marius Høibråten.
Pep Guardiola played without a recognised striker as Julian Alvarez was given a well deserved rest.
Erling Haaland, who is unavailable through injury, watched on from the stands.
He was joined by long-term absentee Kevin De Bruyne, who is training with the squad for the first time in months in Jeddah.
