The importance of the flight is not because of the importance of the match for the fans but instead for the template itself. “A flight to move the team to Cartagena because otherwise we can’t leave on Friday, we have to leave on Thursday and what that entails is to take the team out of their work a few days before for an important game,” he said. .
