Although it is true that the temperature has dropped considerably in the northern part of the country due to the winter season, it was an exaggeration to postpone the commitment. The temperature ranges from 8 to -6 degrees Celsius, so there should be no problem in competing.
Only in the World Cup qualifying game between the United States and Honduras played in Minneapolis, the climate was -18, with a feeling of -23. Still the game went on. However, that is what is interesting about the matches, what is difficult and competitive about the regions. As long as health is not at stake.
Until not many years ago, Mexican soccer games were played in the rain, with the only condition that there were no electrical storms. Not now, currently if a slight sector of the field is flooded, the game has to be postponed or postponed to remove the water from the grass.
Another example, when a match goes into extension, at the end of the first extra time it is already mandatory that the two teams freshen up and relax for a couple of minutes, something inadmissible in the past, where at the referee’s whistle, each squad He immediately changed courts. There you could see which team was better prepared physically.
This does not mean that the physical issue and the athlete’s health are neglected, however, many aspects have been allowed. Tomorrow it may be forbidden to play in the Nemesio Díez de Toluca, this because of the height that the field implies; or also it will not be possible to play a match in Puerto Jarocho due to the humidity; or in the ‘Caliente’ of Tijuana, this due to the high temperatures.
There are issues that should be avoided, but this decision to postpone the game between Bravos and Chivas is ridiculous.
