Pep Guardiola acknowledged the challenges posed by the heat as Manchester City prepares to face Juventus in the Club World Cup final in Orlando. Scheduled to kick off at 3 PM local time, temperatures are expected to reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Guardiola emphasized the importance of adapting to the weather conditions, indicating that he would adjust his team selection and make substitutions at half-time to manage player stamina. Additionally, he confirmed that Claudio Echeverri would miss the match due to an ankle injury.
"The heat is obvious. We can't change it. It's better to play at the Atlanta stadium, which is fantastic. All the teams have to handle it."
"My advice to the people is to bring a lot of water, hats and towels for the necks because I think it's going to be tough."
