The Blaugrana expedition landed at 7:36 p.m. (local time) at the Fort Lauderdale airport and is now resting at its concentration hotel
With the Conrad Fort Lauderdale as the headquarters of operations in Miami, Barça will start the tour this Sunday
Barça is already in Miami. The team landed this Saturday night at 7:36 p.m. at the Fort Lauderdale airport, from where they traveled with two buses to the Conrad Fort Lauderdale hotel. Here they will sleep five nights before heading to Las Vegas, the next stop, prior to Dallas and New York.
The weather did not accompany the arrival of Barça because, just at that moment, it started to rain and it was windy. In fact, the landing was somewhat bumpy and there was some tension, something logical because the wind was strong and some of the children on the expedition were nervous. Some fans, few but noisy, were waiting for the Blaugrana footballers at the gates of the hotel complex. The vast majority, however, will go to the Inter Miami stadium to see the players during the game that they must play in Florida on Tuesday. The squad, due to fatigue from the trip, will delay their first training session in Miami, scheduled for 9 in the morning and which will finally take place at 10, an hour later.
The bulk of the expedition will sleep at the Conrad Fort Lauderdale, including the first team and coaching staff. Joan Laporta, although he will sleep in the same hotel, did not appear along with the rest of the members, among whom were Jordi Cruyff and Mateu Alemany, who will stay in Miami at the same hotel. The rest of the directive will do so fifteen minutes walk, at the Maren hotel, on the same promenade that gives access to the North Beach beach.
