Nottingham Forest did not have a direct flight to Birmingham Airport, and they landed in London Heathrow airport instead. There were not many players who came back with the team as most of the players who were called up to play for their country split with the team at Monaco.
Only the five players who were part of the England squad returned to England with the Forest team. They then split with the team in London and went to Colney in North London. The place that was usually the training ground for Arsenal was now the exclusive training ground of the national team.
When they went their different ways at the airport, Flores suddenly felt a need to expand his influence in the changing room as he looked at the five players gathered together. In the changing room now, the players were still discussing Tony Twain more than about him. This made him a little jealous.
