Bayern Munich’s arrival in Florida was late to meet the Brazilian Flamengo in the round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup, held in the United States of America, from June 14 to July 13.
A severe thunderstorm in the American city of Orlando disrupted Bayern Munich’s travel to Miami, and the plane that the team rented to Florida arrived on Saturday evening more than two hours from the scheduled date.
Coach and players comment
“Our focus is only on what we must do in order to win,” said Bavarian coach Vincent Kompany.
“It was just another thunderstorm over Orlando, we will eat the food later and then sleep,” said Bayern Munich Konrad Liemer. “It would be better if things go smoothly, and such matters should not affect the team’s performance against Flamingo,” said Jonathan Tah.
The tournament will be held this summer for the first time with the new system that resembles the World Cup for the teams, with the participation of 32 clubs, divided into 8 groups, from which the first two teams qualify to the round of 16, to complete the rest of the roles with the direct exclusion system.

Bayern Munich and Flamingo qualified
Bayern had already tried to qualify for the round of 16 after its victory over the New Zealand City 10-0 and Boca Juniors Argentine 2-1 in his first two games in the group stage, and Kompany did not risk his players against Benfica in light of the high temperatures in America, where he comforted most of his basic formation against his Portuguese rival to lose with a goal.
Flamingo enters the round of 16 with unparalleled confidence in the championship, after he easily qualified for the exclusionary roles, kissing seven points to take the top of his group after his victory over Esperance and Chelsea in the first two games before drawing with Los Angeles FC.
