comment for broadcast on 31 January 2008
By Axel Jeroma
The cities Quito and La Paz, because of their altitude as venues for World Cup qualifying matches in football risk. Furthermore, we have already reported on this show several times. The South American soccer federation CONMEBOL has these days the two countries strengthen the back. The last word, however, the world football body FIFA. Listen to our comment of the week.
FIFA is known for some stupid proposal. One of them recall the many football fans with horror, was the reorganization of the passive offside. introduced before the Confederations Cup in Germany in 2005, the rule change was found in practice to be completely silly. They quickly disappeared into the dustbin.
Thither includes all plans, the host cities of La Paz and Quito from the FIFA to pay off map. For decades, will be held in two cities, World Cup Qualifiers. Of health problems has never been something known. But precisely this argument now runs the FIFA approach to their plans. According to a report by British doctors are at a height of 2750 meters of health problems for football players not be excluded. The medical advice is to sufficient acclimatization. They call at least a week. This period is not feasible because of the tight schedule of the professionals. Such legislation would be tantamount to the end for Quito and La Paz
But there is hope. For to have in the industry long since taken hold of doubt whether a lengthy acclimation is at all meaningful. Some teams have found another remedy for the games in the altitude of Quito and La Paz. You arrive just before the game to escape the conversion process. The Venezuelan national team went before her victory at the World Cup qualifier last October before the same way. She trained for several days before the game on the coast, flew to Quito in the morning, won the evening meeting and then went directly home to Venezuela.
This example makes one thing clear: The altitude seems to be more of a psychological than a physical advantage. Because the altitude would really be a more decisive Factor would play Ecuador and Bolivia, each time leading positions in the World Cup qualifiers in South America. If they do not. Therefore, much depends rather well with the attitude of the opponents. When they arrive often with a B-team, they need not be surprised if they grab a few points in La Paz or Quito.
Bolivian President Evo Morales can understand the whole fuss about the venues Quito and La Paz as little: "If you can live in the highest, where you can play football," he said last week. He's right. Hopefully this will finally realize the gentlemen of the FIFA.
