Shake FRUST at the Seleçao!
In Brazilian WM-Kader are piling up the cases of illness. The team is said to be increasingly struggling with colds. And for a cool reason.
Winger Antony (22) blames the air-conditioning systems, which cool down the stadium interiors in the desert state to around 20 degrees during games, among other things.
The Manchester United striker told ESPN: “I felt bad for a few days. It was like a cold, sore throat. That was the air conditioners.”
And further: “Not only I, but also other players had a cough and a sore throat.”
And sometimes it’s cold in the stands too.
This experience made eg Christina Raphaella Ginterthe wife of Germany defender Matthias Ginter (28/SC Freiburg).
She had followed the German opening game against Japan in the stadium. She then posted a photo of her goosebumps on Instagram.
She asked the question: “How much can you cool down a stadium?” Then she answered herself: “Qatar: Yes!” After that she put a grim smiley face.
The Brazil stars have no choice but to get used to the air conditioning. On Monday they made it through to the round of 16 with a 1-0 win over Switzerland.
