The Scottish coach left harsh criticism of the trip through Beja airport. However, Lidador Notícias found that the delay in arriving at the Estádio da Luz began in Scotland.
According to CNN, Steve Clarke appeared very upset at the press conference ahead of the game against Portugal, landing in Beja and did not hide his dissatisfaction with the almost two-hour delay in arriving at Estádio da Luz.
O Notícias ao Minute (MN) revealed that the press conference ended up having to be postponed for an hour, once, contrary to what was predicted, the British group landed in Beja. MN attributed the following statements to the Scottish coach: “I thought I was in Spain. The only issue is that the boys will be, now, having dinner, not hotel, and I'm here, hungry”, completed,
The Lidador News (LN) learned from a source familiar with the Scottish team's trip that “on Friday the delay in the flight was due to a problem at Glasgow airport. The flight should have arrived in Beja at 5:10 pm and only landed at 6:27 pm”, justified.
About returning to Scotland yesterday, our interlocutor revealed that “the team arrived at Beja airport to board at 10:34 am and the flight time was at 11:00 am. In 20 minutes the delegation was on the plane to fly to Glasgow (na photos)", concluded.
About the Notícias ao Minuto reference (MN) that “contrary to what was predicted, the British group landed in Beja”, last day 30 August, Lidador Notícias revealed that “the Scottish National Football Team facing Portugal, in Lisbon, in a Nations League game, takes a trip through Beja airport. Has learned the Lidador News, the aircraft carrying the Scottish team lands in the Alentejo infrastructure the next day 7 of September, at 5:00 p.m., Then continue by bus to Lisbon”.
It was not the landing at Beja airport, nor the trip to Lisbon that caused the delay in the arrival of the Scottish delegation to Lisbon, nor the return of Beja to Glasgow.
