'Jeantes' has announced that there will be a tour, but the club has not yet completed all the details and it seems that they will not travel on Thursday.
The Asian tour is already slightly less than a nightmare. In just over 12 hours, the competition in Japan went from the team to travel, according to Jijantes. Club sources, however, explained to Marca that there was a 90 percent chance that they would go to Japan. That is why they wait until everything is completed before they give the green light. The team, which trained in the Ciudad Deportiva, left Barcelona's facilities in the afternoon and was ready to wait to find out if they should return to catch the coach who would take them to the airport. Everyone is waiting for now, but it seems that they cannot fly today due to an aviation problem.
Seeing is believing. Yesterday, just after 8 p.m., Barcelona sent a statement that announced that Sunday's game in Japan against Vissel Kobe was being canceled due to a serious breach of contract by the promoter. The CEO of the group even came out to apologize and to inform them about the situation. This morning the Catalans actually trained on the Ciudad Deportiva (Sports City) while waiting to confirm whether they could travel to South Korea next week. But everything took a turn of 180 degrees: there was a 90 percent chance that the team would leave for Asia today. But the hours passed and the other 10 percent was not completed. At 3 p.m. there was no squadron list yet. It is therefore assumed that they will not travel today due to a problem with the airline.
The Rakuten Group could have been the key to the operation, according to Jijantes the financial costs adopted. Therefore, if everything is confirmed correctly, Barcelona would play his first season friendly on Sunday, as originally planned, at 12:00 against Vissel Kobe.
Looking for options
Barcelona restructured all his schedule, and there was even speculation about playing a friendship on Sunday against a Catalan team with a lower division, when everything changed. Now the club is expected to make the news officer in the coming hours.
Hansi Flick will also have to offer a team for the trip. The coach's first plan was to take 26 players.
