‘Ten Juventus players asked to be substituted’

Manager Igor Tudor requests ten substitutes for Real Madrid’s Club World Cup defeat, according to manager.

The last-16 game was played on Tuesday in Miami, which had a high of 30% humidity and 30C temperatures.

Up to six substitutions are permitted for a game during extra time, and up to five.

Real won 1-0 in regular time thanks to Gonzalo Garcia’s goal, and Tudor made the maximum five changes permitted at Hard Rock Stadium.

Ten players asked to be substituted in the end, he said. “It was incredible exhaustion.

Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac claimed he was “strainin’ like I’ve just come out of a sauna” during his side’s group win over Mamelodi Sundowns in Cincinnati, Ohio. The extreme heat in the US has affected many games throughout the Club World Cup.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, during Benfica’s group victory over Bayern Munich, the temperature reached 36C, and Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca claimed it was “impossible” to conduct regular training despite a code red “severe heat warning in Philadelphia.

In 33 out of 56 matches, “cooling breaks” are required once certain conditions are met.

The wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), a temperature-and-humidity ratio, is currently used to calculate heat stress.

Both halves of a match must take cooling breaks if the WBGT exceeds 32C.

Breaks should be introduced once the WBGT exceeds 28C, according to the global players’ union Fifpro, and matches should be postponed if the WBGT exceeds 32C.

The US will host the World Cup in 2014.
