📲 Sweating on the bench: Argentina star reveals his stress data | OneFootball

How stressful it can sometimes be to sit on the bench and not be able to help the team was something Nico Paz experienced in the quarterfinal against Switzerland (3-1 after extra time). The Argentine spent the entire match on the bench and later shared the reading from his stress-monitoring app on Instagram. 

In his story, he posted a screenshot of the app, whose scale ranges from 0 to 3.0. Paz’s reading in the quarterfinal against Switzerland was 2.7 — the app accordingly classified it as high.  

He also posted "Vamo Argentina" ("Let’s go, Argentina" in English). According to Argentine media cited by 'Bild' in a report, the app’s data comes from sensors in his clothing, which measure the strain on the body based on heart rate. That is then transmitted to the app. 

This has been approved by FIFA and is being used for the first time at this World Cup. 

Incidentally, alongside Giuliano Simeone and Valentín Barco, Nico Paz is the only Argentine outfield player who has not played a single minute at this World Cup so far. So against England, he is likely to be on the bench again.
