Footballers are like you: they get hurt when their plane experiences turbulence.
For Juventus player Weston McKennie, it’s even a phobia that prevents him from traveling by air. It was his coach, Massimiliano Allegri, who revealed this information after the victory in Lecce this Sunday (0-3 with a dice pass from the American for Dušan Vlahović): “McKennie is afraid of flying and will return by train. » Like the famous Dennis Bergkamp in his time, the 25-year-old midfielder wants to keep his feet on the ground and refuses to take a plane. Even if it means traveling the 1000 kilometers between Lecce and Turin with Trenitalia.
This fear, which affects (approximately) between 20 and 30% of the world’s population, is particularly disabling for professional footballers who constantly travel throughout the country, or even the entire Old Continent. The midfielder, as a professional, played 249 matches for club (22 goals) and 49 for the country (11 goals). If he never takes a plane, the US international has had to swallow thousands of kilometers of rail to be able to play.
We remind the clubs: it’s always better to take the train.
