Di team, led by their president Joan Laporta and crew, catch plane for Japan to face Vissel Kobe on July 27, then dem go dey hit FC Seoul and Daegu FC next.
Wait, make I give you gist: Just last week, Barca talk say dem no go fit travel after dem get serious fight with promoter over some money arrangements. You know say money matter no dey carry play o! Dem even mention “fraud” like say dem no dey play football but detective work!
But by Friday morning, everything don settle as Rakuten, wey be dem former sponsor, dash dem the money wey promoter fail to deliver. Na so dem regroup quickly pack their bags and take flight. E be like film!
The last time wey Barcelona touch down for Asia na six years ago, so des dem dey try make am count this time. As dem enter Japan, fans don dey wait gree to see their beloved blaugrana players in action again.
Two days after facing Vissel Kobe, dem go waka go South Korea for FC Seoul on July 31 before meeting Daegu FC on August 4. So, wetin we go expect? Plenty goals and maybe some expensive souvenirs! (No forget to carry your jersey o!)
But no be only match dem dey go for this tour. Plenty other events dey for land as dem wan increase their presence for Asia. With like 59 million fans and good partnerships with Japanese and Korean companies like Konami and ZIC lubricants, na serious business embarks this journey!
So, no matter wahala wey dem face, Barca don manage pull dey head up and gree say dem go perform well on pitch. Fans don dey hailing dem already!
Make we just dey hope say all planned matches go hold without wahala this time. Força Barça!
