Before taking off, he said in an audio - "I’m here on a plane that looks like it’s about to fall apart, and I’m going to Cardiff, crazy, tomorrow we already start, and in the afternoon we start training, boys, in my new team…"
The plane tried to take off three times but couldn't get off the ground. Finally, on the fourth time, it took off.
He also said in the audio, "Let’s see what happens, so, how are you brothers and sisters, all right?
"If in an hour and a half you have no news from me, I don’t know if they are going to send someone to look for me because they cannot find me, but you know … Dad, how scared am I!”
Just awful. That's so scary. We live in 2019. This stuff simply shouldn't happen anymore. We are spending 200 million dollars on player contracts, but we can't buy a decent plane for them to fly in. It happened to the Chapecoense team in Brazil, and everyone but 3-4 died.
