Ilkay Gundogan said,

“The beauty of our game is in the tactics. As someone who loves coaching and highlighting the tactical skills that are needed to win, it is hugely exciting to be able to share what I know in an arena like the OKX metaverse.”

Haider Rafique, global chief marketing officer at OKX, said,

“Hot on the heels of Rúben Días taking to the metaverse to show us how he maintains top performance for matchday, we are very excited to get insights into Ilkay’s tactical approach in the same forum.
