Barca arrived in Orlando almost incognito

FC Barcelona is making no noise in Orlando. Their arrival at around 9.30pm – an hour and a half late – went virtually unnoticed in the city, as evidenced by the fact that only fifty fans were accommodated in the hotel to accommodate the Blaugrana expedition.. The expedition, by the way, is somewhat of a ersatz, led by Hansi Flick and 31 other footballers, 15 of whom are also from the reserve team. In this context, it can be understood that the person who was most cheered by the fans was Robert Lewandowski.

I, who, by the way, will be dealing with the media this Monday.

Joan Laporta arrived accompanied by a small entourage, including directors Joan Soler, Miquel Camps, Jaume Oliver and Xavi Puig, who will perform again with women as Praetorian at the end of August, and accompanied by Enric Masip, who brought his entire familyIt should be remembered that Deco remained in Barcelona to complete the closure of pending cases.

Blaugrana Rafinha and Gundogan have also joined separately, with Jules Kounde expected to do the same on August 1, when the team is already in Annapolis.

The city seems to be living a world away from Tuesday’s match between Barcelona and Manchester City. A visit to the Camping World stadium, where the game will be held, shows the little interest that has been generated in Orlando, which is more accustomed to tourism at its theme parks than to sporting events. There are few claims and virtually no publicity surrounding the stadium, whose main attraction is hosting the group stage of the 1994 World Cup, where the claim was Holland, and also being the headquarters of the 2017 edition of WrestleMania, which reached a capacity record of over 75,000 souls. The current capacity is just over 60,000.

Flick’s team will train at 9:30 a.m. Monday at the University of Central Florida, the first of two sessions scheduled before facing Pep Guardiola’s side, the first big test of the Flick era.
