The schedules of the first days had never raised so many blisters. Culprit: the heat. More concrete: the solace of Almería in August. The truth is The league is aware of risk What does it mean to hold large outdoor events on such hot days? For the players, but also for the fans. To prove, Three years ago, he chose to write, together with each party, the temperature that was scheduled for that day and the historical one in the Community. He thus demonstrated that he was aware of when he was playing each game and why. That she was doing things with her head. This Tuesday, for unknown reasons, he did not. He announced the schedules and end point.
But it was a follow: Real Madrid doesn’t understand being sent to play on August 19, in Almería… At 7:30 p.m.! To make a short-term comparison: last year, that day they reached 35th in the Mediterranean Games, while the historic is close to 30º… and rising. From there, except for an atmospheric miracle, it will not go down and yet, LaLiga has put the game on that day, at that time. Stupor has reigned in Madrid, considering that it is unnecessary to play ‘so soon’. And it’s not the only club on fire: the Vallecano Ray will have to go through that same situation, because he will go to Almeria on day 1 (August 11, at 7:30 p.m.; 34th he got to do last year). Club sources have confessed to this newspaper that they also feel confused with the situation.
Modification?
It’s not discarded. And there are precedents. The season 2021-22For example, set a Osasuna-Espanyol for a August 14 at 5:00 p.m.. In the temperature calendar they put 26º. But it was not like that, far from it. At the moment of truth the thermometer predicted 38ºso two days before LaLiga announced a modification: happened at 10:00 p.m.. There is more. Season 2018-19day 2: Seville-Villarreal, on August 26, at 8:15 p.m. Then the matches were put on without a weather forecast, but the thermometers were not deceiving and they predicted sweltering heat, above 30º. So, it was decided to delay the meeting at 10:15 p.m.. Clubs like Madrid or Rayo cling to this, They do not understand that they have put a game in Almería, in the middle of August, at 7:30 p.m.. They don’t even understand it Almeria.
