Share:
Uruguay's head coach Marcelo Bielsa has sharply criticized the mandatory hydration breaks introduced at the FIFA World Cup. The rule, implemented by FIFA, world football's governing body, requires a three-minute break in each half of play, intended to reduce physical strain on players competing in hot weather conditions. Bielsa has objected to the interruptions, which were designed as a player welfare measure for tournaments held in high-temperature environments.
