Something is afoot as City gear up for Melbourne Face Off

TV companies are doing everything to bring the viewers closer to the football field.
This is perhaps the sickest step. Tando Velaphi, keeper of Melbourne City will on Saturday to act as a pundit - while he is guarding the goal against Manchester City.
- I'm all for it. I think there will be much to do on Saturday, so it's a great chance to try something new, says Velaphi to Fox Sports.

For those of you who thought that things were better before, you could be right.
Here you have a terrifying example.
When Manchester City on Saturday are facing off against Melbourne City it will really make TV history.
- Is there another way to interact with the viewers and fans and give them a different perspective on what they normally get, says Velaphi to Fox Sports in Australia.

Velaphi will be provided with an acoustic shell and the game will be switched to direct transmission for him to comment on the events on the pitch. Key events in the game will also go in the replay with Velaphis words and camera images from a camera that is placed right behind his goal.

This is not the first time the a television network has tried something revolutionary. During last year's season in the top league FOX sought to equip the judges with a microphone, but was stopped by Fifa.
