00:54I'm sorry to support that the English don't sleep, but they didn't let us sleep.
01:01What happened? What did I tell you?
01:05That they didn't let us sleep.
01:27I'm not concerned about it at the moment, but I won't be happy if it wakes me up, I'll be
01:31honest.
01:32We'll see how it goes and we'll deal with it as best as possible.
01:36It's just another obstacle to overcome, another thing to kind of get over another hurdle,
01:40but we're ready, we've heard about it, and we'll be ready as best prepared as we can to be ready
01:45and get enough sleep and recovery for the game.
01:47Have you got an airflow? Thank you.
01:48I've got money to invest in something.
01:50You make too much for everything.
01:54In the end, it's a game of football.
01:57We've all been playing football since we were kids and we've played in different environments,
02:02different atmospheres, some easier than others, some terrible to play in and disgusting,
02:06but it's up to us to try and find a way to come out on top.
02:10That's what the focus is.
02:12Sometimes you need the player next to you and the player next to him,
02:16but listen, it's all the same.
02:17We have to work together, work as a unit and try to bring, you know, as close to our best
02:22as we can and we'll be fine.
02:23Well, the thing with high altitude is that the oxygen decreases with altitude.
02:29If you climb a mountain, that's why when you are climbing the mountain, you start feeling like short of breath.
02:36Now, here in Mexico, the oxygen level is low and that may increase your heart rate.
02:43That might increase your breath rate and also decrease your oxygen level a little bit.
02:51So what's the problem with that?
02:53A sportsman is going to feel tired sooner than what he usually used to.
02:59So your physical condition is decreased, especially in the first half of the game.
03:05They're going to feel a little bit short of breath and that may make them feel uncomfortable
03:11because they are not feeling that they can run at the speed that they can do.
03:16Or if they do a large run or sprint, they may feel like they having problem to get back to
03:24your normal heart rate,
03:26because that's what usually happens in elite sportsmen.
03:30They have the mechanism to decrease the heart rate very fast to be adapted to the situation.
03:36In soccer, you may have a lot of sprints and when you rest, well, your heart rate becomes normal.
03:46In this type of altitude, that will make more time to get the heart rate to the level it should
03:53be.
04:00But in that type of altitude, that's going to be the most important part,
04:07because they are not when for the actual ninja level.
04:07In this type of altitude, you may have a lot of sprints when you're not ready to get back.
04:07Don't let you know.
