Blues on International Duty

[number4.]

Private jet
The scums players and Richarlison will be on a private jet straight after the game
Same with Colombia players
There is about 6 Colombia players travelling back to Britain

Don't get me wrong, Im not suggesting they will be on ryanair sitting down the back. But significant upheaval for both squads in the context of the Derby. My concern is more the fact that the game is in Santiago than the travel itself

I have been fortunate enough to do a lot of long haul business/1st class travel for work & no matter how comfy it is, its blemmin exhausting

 

[number4.]

The travel is even more brutal because both Brazil and Colombia are away.

Brazil is away to Peru - that's an 8 hour flight from Rio, and two time zones in the wrong direction (ie west, away from England)

Colombia is away to Chile - a 5 hour flight south from Bogota (again, south, in the wrong direction)

Yeah it's grim alright

First class does not hold a candle to private jet
Proper 6 ft plus beds , showers , massage tables proper food etc

Messy - I assume Richarlison will travel back straight after the game & you would fancy his chances to be fit a ready for Saturday, would be more nervous about James & Mina, certainties to play & game at high altitude in Santiago.

You're talking a game finishing at 0330 on before they get on a 14 hour flight, I assume early Thurday morning

I’m mostly concerned if he plays given he’s had ankle issues the last few weeks. Another aggravation and he’s out Saturday.

I was looking at their teamsheet and saw Yakubu listed in the subs. Unfortunately that is a young goalkeeper's last name. I didn't think the Yak could possibly be playing but I wouldn't have minded seeing him get some minutes.

What if they just float upwards in a hot air balloon and wait for the earth to rotate, then float back down?
