SENT TO BIRMINGHAM – In England, especially after Brexit, entry controls at customs are quite thorough for citizens who do not come from the European Union. Juventus noticed this on Tuesday afternoon, arriving in Birmingham for the Champions League match against Aston Villa. First on board the plane and then at the airport, she was forced to spend about an hour and a half to complete all the access formalities for the players.
Juve, what happened to Weah at the airport before the Champions League
The border police asked for some further information on Weah, candidate for a starting position as center forward, and many other members of the delegation. The explanations from the Juventus managers were not enough, because in the United Kingdom there are no exemptions, not even for VIPs. The result is that the team, due to bureaucracy, was unable to carry out the traditional inspection of Villa Park. And Weah, who was supposed to speak at the press conference, was replaced by Andrea Cambiaso who instead quickly passed passport checks thanks to the automatic system reserved for British and European citizens.
