A senior Football Association official added: “The decision to move the training ground to London rather than Newcastle was made because we had a game scheduled before we played Saudi Arabia. It was not in Newcastle at the time. After the match with Saudi Arabia was decided, we arranged for accommodation and training in Newcastle, but it was difficult to change suddenly due to local circumstances.”
“As for why the training center was far away, it was difficult to change something that was planned in advance, and as a result, we decided to take a chartered flight the day before the game.”
The far-flung training grounds have also sparked controversy. The team needs a win and a different performance to silence the controversy.
