Cruz Azul exploded against the MLS and directly accused the organizers of the tournament of negligence for the tremendous disorder with the transport logistics, to the degree that the cemetery dome seriously valued coming down from the Champions Cup if conditions did not change immediately.
The Machinery managers put on the table the formal proposal to reprogram the shock for Thursday to allow Joel Huiqui pupils to have a dignified rest after the airport calvary, but the Miami Inter beat the idea completely and refused to move the schedule due to the strict commercial and television commitments they already have signed for this magnificent event.

The cemetery board was forced to move heaven and land to solve the tremendous problem with the carrier company, because the discomfort of the dressing room escalated to such a degree that the entire plant threatened to descend from the tournament if a dignified and safe flight was not guaranteed for each of the members of the Machine.
In the midst of this chaos and with the team barred on national territory, the only element that could take off to Florida was Nigeria's Christian Ebere, who traveled separately alongside a small squad because his strict visa procedures required his immediate entry on the date agreed with the U.S. government.
The Planning of Machine Leaders at the Airport
The crisis broke out when the dressing room leaders realized that the private aircraft was insufficient for the players, technical staff and support staff, a situation that they considered a lack of respect for the seriousness that international competition demands.
The captains immediately raised their voice and conditioned the trip, making it clear that the group would remain united and that they would not accept mid-range solutions that would involve leaving behind colleagues or members of Joel Huiqui’s work team.

This posture of the referents completely stopped the initial logistics and forced the institute’s high spheres to manage a new aircraft that met the required specifications, delaying the team’s plans, but blinding the staff’s internal union.
The expensive visa that saved the Nigerian frontman
While the bulk of the delegation remained firm on Mexican soil, the directive had no choice but to send Christian Ebere on a commercial express flight to avoid losing a strong sum of money invested in his migratory procedures.
The club had paid a considerable amount to speed up the African striker's special permit, which had extremely strict governmental restrictions regarding the day of entry into the American Union.

Let the deadline passed represented the imminent risk that U.S. migration authorities would deny access to the footballer or retain him at the airport, so the Nigerian artillery had to advance alone and is already waiting at the headquarters of the game for the rest of his comrades to finally land this Tuesday in Florida.
A Calendar of Madness and the Shadow of Suspension
The delay caused by the transportation problem not only affected the team’s physical preparation in the face of Lionel Messi’s duel against Miami’s Inter, but also put the MX League and MLS managers to work extra hours.
The Champions Cup match has the official endorsement of the Concacaf but not the FIFA, which opens a negotiating window between both leagues to analyze a possible reprogramming if the logistical conditions of Cruz Azul complicate even more in the coming hours.

The urgency of resolving the itinerary is maximum, since the celestial squad has its commitment of the local league against Monterrey scheduled for this Saturday, September 19, at 19:10, and by regulation a minimum rest of forty-eight hours must be respected between matches to safeguard the integrity of the footballers on the pitch.
