Sports Weekly All Media Original

This year's Club World Cup, the high temperature seems to have a significant impact on the performance of European clubs, and many coaches and players of European giants have complained about this before. In an interview a few days ago, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac also expressed his views on this.

"The rhythm of our first group match was not fast, because of the temperature, we couldn't get up at all. Of course, we hope to play the game at a completely different pace."

"But such a temperature is too high even for the audience. You have to imagine what such a temperature means to the player. Even in the shade, the temperature reaches 32 degrees, and in the stadium, the somatosensory temperature will only be higher."

"The player must run on the court. Run, this is not an excuse, I am just explaining the reason. If someone sits in front of the TV and says why these players don’t move, then you have to consider it. There must be a reason for the players to do this. "

" Such conditions are harmful to all teams, and it is especially difficult for European clubs to adapt. I think the Southern clubs are used to playing under such conditions, and it is easy for them to adapt. But no matter what, we all hope to win the next game."
