Dorth Korea coach Kovac was interviewed and talked about the topics related to the Club World Cup. He talked about the impact of the high temperature faced by the game on the players' performance.

About this round opponent Mamelodi Sunset

"They performed well and liked to play technical football, but we had to stop them. When the sun shone into the court at 12 noon, the temperature would be very high. So we have to fight for more possession, otherwise it would take too much energy to chase the ball."

(The temperature is expected to reach at least 32 degrees on the day of the game) "In that 'pot', the temperature may be three or four degrees higher."

Wenger met with Kovac to discuss the impact of the high temperature on the game

"Wenger and I agree that due to the high temperature, the pace of the game cannot be improved. If someone sits in front of the TV and says that the players are not active enough, it is because they don't understand the actual situation. Overheating of the body not only affects the players, but also the audience will feel uncomfortable. This is not an excuse, but a fact."

Talking about possible losses

"We respect every opponent, and they deserve such respect. We see the great potential of our opponents. Nothing in life is easy, especially in football."
