Through the cracked window in the flight, the Brazilians from Newcastle - Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton - had a chance to turn around to Amsterdam in the middle of the flight. The footballers spent nearly 12 years in dormancy, trying to reach the Brazilian national team..
Looks like they will be transferred to other flights, otherwise they could arrive in New Korea on Wednesday. According to the Brazilian authorities, the two Newcastle United players are now flying on adjacent flights, and the Brazilian Football Confederation is organizing a flight for Guimaraes to allow him to arrive sooner. The reason why they chose this option instead of a long trip is not specified..
It is expected that Joelinton will fly from the Dutch capital on the same flight, otherwise, it is likely that he will not be able to arrive to Seoul for the beginning of the collection. Currently, the Confederation is still working on travel logistics for Bruno Guimaraes, who will have a layover in another European region, so that he can arrive earlier.
Last week, the pair took to the field in Newcastle's home match against Nottingham Forest, which ended with a 40-to-1 2-0 win thanks to Bruno's miracle goal. It’s cool that Igor Jesus and John, who played for the guests in the same match, were already in Seoul and took part in the trained team in the second round from another 19 players.
