Mannwan: Manchester City goes to Palermo for a friendly match, the plane is delayed by a rapper

Hupu, August 11th, The Manchester Evening News revealed that some emergencies occurred during Manchester City's friendly match in Palermo.

First, the originally planned press conference at Renzo Barbera Stadium was forced to be cancelled because Manchester City's plane failed to take off on time. There is no problem with the plane itself, the problem is on the runway, and in front of them is the special plane of rapper Drake. He was about to fly to the next stop after his performance in Manchester, but did not leave on time, causing Manchester City to have to wait.

Guardiola and the team finally arrived in Palermo. The head coach and several senior executives immediately rushed to VillaTasca to attend a grand dinner for them. Palermo head coach Filippo Inzag and others had already arrived.

This villa is also one of the filming locations of the second season of the American drama "White Lotus Resort". Due to a major traffic accident on the expressway, Manchester City and his party did not arrive at the original location until after 10 pm local time. Some staff members hurriedly changed their clothes to attend the dinner, while Guardiola was arranged to enter a room with cameras and several journalists for interviews.

However, Palermo welcomes Manchester City very much. The shops in the city center include not only Manchester City jerseys, but also Oasis for sale. Local fans gathered outside the hotel where the team stayed, just to see the players' style. The game tickets sold 16,000 in 24 hours, helping to fill the stadium with a capacity of 34,000 people.

When Guardiola and the players stepped into the stadium, they were warmly welcomed. Palermo's die-hard fans have specially created a giant stand puzzle with the Oasis themed, which is the first time they have greeted the visiting team in this way. Italian singer Ross Veran sang before the game and even postponed the game's kickoff.

Subsequently, Guardiola attended the second press conference within 24 hours, and then the team returned to the hotel and took the flight back the next day.
