After the emphatic opening win over Algeria, where Lionel Messi shone with a hat trick, the Argentina national team is now focused on its next challenge. The squad led by Lionel Scaloni trained this Wednesday in the city of Kansas under sweltering heat that reached 36 degrees.
To counter the high temperatures and protect the players’ physical condition, the coaching and medical staff implemented an innovative cooling system straight from Formula 1. The players used cooling vests before and after field sessions to keep their body temperature under control. In addition, they wore state-of-the-art insulated boots, specially designed to prevent the heat from the grass from affecting the athletes’ feet.
