Faced with the heatwave and the stifling humidity of Boston (over 35°C), the Blues staff implemented a strict acclimatization protocol. Practice at Bentley University has been set for 3 p.m., the time of future matches, while players must drink up to six liters of water a day, use ice towels and a mobile cryotherapy unit, while remaining vigilant against thermal shock from air conditioning.
Logistics has also been optimized to reduce transport fatigue. Didier Deschamps thus reorganized the schedules to avoid unnecessary 30-minute journeys between the hotel and the field. If the group remains calm in the face of these conditions, a drop in temperatures (around 22°C) is fortunately expected on Tuesday in New York for the first match against Senegal.
