However, after arriving in the Netherlands, they were stuck here for more than half a day and had to lie on a chair waiting for the CFA to handle it.

"Congratulations. The federation let us go to Amsterdam, canceled our flight to Tokyo, changed to tomorrow's flight, then made us wait at the airport for more than 8 hours. Still another 14 hours of waiting and no have a hotel or somewhere else to stay. Congratulations on the management skills of the Federation. They don't respect us at all," wrote Luo Guofu.

At noon on January 24, Guofu and Alan went to Japan to join the army, while Fernando returned to Brazil for family matters. Soon after, Guofu publicly apologized, before posting a second time to explain, for affecting the image of the CFA.
