Enzo Maresca, Chelsea director, says that it is “impossible” to organize natural training sessions amid a severe heat warning in Philadelphia at the club's World Cup.
The Blues players in Subaru Park, the home of the Local Football Association in the Football League (MLS), trained at 37 degrees Celsius.
45 % humidity means that it looks more like 45 ° C, according to the Accuweather.com website, and temperatures were expected on Monday at the highest 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 ° C) for the first time in 13 years.
“This morning session was very short,” Marisca said, adding that “otherwise you do not provide energy to the game.”
“It was just a game of tomorrow, planning for tomorrow, and that's all. Not more.”
“As you can see, it is not easy in these circumstances these temperatures. We will try to do our best.”
The local public authority has warned people in Philadelphia against avoiding “work in high temperature environments” and “hard physical activity”.
However, some matches in the newly expanded FIFA championship began in the middle of the afternoon, with temperatures at their highest levels.
“It is difficult to work with these temperatures, but we are here and we are trying to do our best and we will try to win tomorrow.”
Similar problems have faced other clubs, raising concerns about participating in hosting the World Cup in the United States at this time next year.

Blues need to avoid defeat to qualify as a follow -up leader, which would secure a tie tie at the end of 16 against Bayern Munich, Benfica or Boca Juniors.
Captain Reese James is a doubt because he is a “sick” and Nicholas Jackson is suspended after his red card last week and was left from the open training session on Monday.
