The head coach of Borussia Dortmund, Niko Kovač, commented on the conditions of the club world championship.
Niko Kovač, Getty Images"South American clubs have a great advantage at the club world championship due to the heat. In the shade, it’s 32 degrees. So imagine that you have to add another 5 degrees in the open sun. It’s very difficult, especially for Europeans. This is not an excuse, just an explanation. It’s easier for South American clubs because they are used to such temperatures," Kovač is quoted by Kicker.
