The players felt the second game of the tour, in particular, against Real Madrid in Houston, put an unnecessary strain on them in terms of travel and had a detrimental effect.
Erik ten Hag’s squad flew from their San Diego base to Houston and then straight back – a sevenhour round trip – with many players feeling that was too much and a tipping point.
