The team will meet in London in the morning and will have their first practice in the afternoon.
The first to arrive are players from Italy, they are Veron, Crespo, Sensini, Chamot, Ayala, Ortega, Zanetti and Simeone, they will arrive at 8:40 am. Gabriel Batistuta is the only one who travels alone and will step on the English ground at 9:10 am. An hour later, those from Spain will arrive: Burgos, Cavallero, Vivas, Gonzalez, Claudio Lopez, Gustavo Lopez and Pochettino. Around 4pm Arruabarrena and Husain will arrive, they are the only 2 players playing in Argentina who were called by Bielsa.
Coach Bielsa will arrive in the morning via Milan with all the notes reviewed in the airplane. He had watched on Saturday the game between Roma-Fiorentina and Sunday's game between Verona-Parma and Milan-Lazio. Once in London he will join Luis Bonini and Argentina team doctor Donato Villani who had arrived a couple of days before. They went to the Arsenal training ground yesterday and were satisfied. The same with the hotel that has some endless gardens for the players to clear their minds. Besides that the hotel employees are used to serve international players: any team that play in London will stay in the Sopwell House Hotel.
This afternoon there will be a light practice. Tomorrow morning will be the time where Bielsa can refresh his concepts with more tranquility. The training session will also be in private because the Arsenal team will also train at the same time and they have asked not to let the press enter the training ground.
