Chelsea and Flamengo had to compete on almost unbearable conditions on the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia last week during the World Club.
Since the temperatures rose up to 39 ° C, the state of Pennsylvania explained a “Heat Health emergency” – which means that specialist cooling centers were opened and the water companies temporarily prevented the service from cutting off.
But it’s not just the people of Philadelphia who are protected from the heat – they are also the dogs.
Sniffer dogs that are stationed in the stadium were discovered with crocs to protect their paws from the red-hedge-hot locations.
Chelsea players were reportedly welcomed by the unusual sight before their 3-1 defeat against Flamengo, whereby the security protocol had obliged all team buses and employees to go through the same control points as everyone else.
The dogs were given the plastic shoes to avoid burning the sensitive underside of their feet while working outside on the blasty surfaces.
It was so hot. The striker of Bayern Munich, Harry Kane, said that he deviated with dehydration after both previous appearances, while Borussia Dortmund reports replaced substitutes during her recent game in the TQL stadium in Cincinnati in the dressing room to avoid sitting in the sun-related nubs.
At least the dogs had to hit the heat with style.
