World Cup to be hosted by Africa for the first time will be a journey of discovery for the 32 teams from around the world early next summer in South Africa.
There will be various traditions and cultures to the continent is the new things that it finds in the participating teams at the start of the competitions after less than six months, the administration of the World Cup No. 19 in a state situated in the far south to the continent to overshadow some of the geographical and meteorological factors which may disturb the coaches, players and technical bodies However, full identification of weather phenomena and height above sea level and weather conditions during the period that will be the matches before participation could lead these teams to develop strategies consistent with those circumstances and factors to playing beautiful melodies within the green rectangle and continue to compete even in the case of movement between the nine cities that will host the tournament.
Hence, should examine the circumstances and the weather in South Africa because of their special nature, which requires the best coaches in the world to keep in mind when you go to South Africa early next summer, for example, up the difference in altitude from the surface of the sea between the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg, which hosts one of the groups and Moses Maphida stadium in Cape Town, about 1686 meters. With regard to the impact of the difference in altitude above sea level on the fitness of the players, "says Dr. Patrick Maxhari expert at the University of Oxford, "some of the players will suffer a mild headache, and will feel more tired than they are accustomed to in such occasions."
He added. Patrick "could things go wrong then with a succession of games, so it is important that the coaches put these factors into account in the leadership of the games."
It seems that some trainers are aware of these very specific weather conditions in South Africa, where he confirmed many coaches of teams participating, including Fabio Capello, England coach to accompany forecasters to assist in the preparation of the players. Indeed, in order to Capello and the FA Cup to the Meteorological Center in London in cooperation with the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Exeter to train the players on how performance in these weather conditions, but the Italian coach, who plans for everything will not stop at just the impact of these weather factors on the players but also considering How to atmospheric pressure on some other factors within the green rectangle, such as the new football World Cup.
Appeared and the new ball, dubbed "Jabolani" during the draw for the World Cup in Cape Town in South Africa was used for the first time during the World Cup for clubs in Abu Dhabi, giving preference to some thing some players like Lionel Messi and Juan Sebastian Veron and Brazilian Dani Alves and Rafa Marquez, Xavi and Spanish who are used during the tournament games ... but it is expected to see these different players soccer in terms of speed during the World Cup with different weather conditions in South Africa, the United Arab Emirates.
According to a study published by the news agency "Associated Press", the difference in sea level will affect 5% to increase the speed of the ball. For example, if the speed of the ball paid by the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to the goal of about 94 meters at Clio, the five percent means that Ronaldo's shot towards goal in the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg will increase 2% in the speed of whether paid in the same strength Moses in the stadium Maphida.
This was confirmed by Richard Bolin, director of the Center of Meteorology in London who said, "Given the speed designed to force the ball or shots at goal, the ball or force the shot will increase speed with height above sea level."
While this good news of the attackers and Ronaldo, but it is bad for the goalkeepers who use their fingertips in their attempts to keep the ball out of their nets. However, it can reverse it to look to leverage the goalkeeper when the kick is, if we assume that the goalkeeper will be shot up 60 yards in Cape Town, this means that the distance will increase 3 yards in the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg.
The density of the air of other factors which should be taken into account when you go to South Africa, the density and less air higher you go above sea level, there are five of the nine cities will host the World Cup is located at an altitude of 1,000 meters or more above sea level, which means that the air density will be reduced by 20% in Johannesburg than in Cape Town.
If players with strong shots like Ronald Alves will benefit from the increased speed of the ball, but most of the World Cup stadiums would not be the ideal climate for those with excellent ball-offs (especially in the form of a curved or arched form of "Curve") such as David Beckham, A professional center for the England international must know - if you choose, within the final list will be England's World Cup - that the impact of side kicks and free kicks will be lower under the low air density and the inability to take the ball curved shape or curved needed to make this effect. Therefore Capello should rest for former Manchester United player for the upcoming confrontation and strong in the opening game set against the United States on June 12 in Ristnberg.
If we go back in time to a little, we find that the U.S. team by defeating the European champions with two straight goals in Bloemfontein, which rise above sea level about 1351 meters, and appeared the U.S. team in a better state, and therefore the presence of Beckham helps England to overcome this adversary through balls off and not through physical fitness.
It seems that the impact of high altitude above sea level varies from one player to another according to the words of the Director Meteorology Center said, "different individual responses to this height above sea level, depending on the fitness and, in some cases, the player can suffer more fit than the surge above sea level. "
All of this suggests the importance of examining the World Cup finals for the first time in Africa in terms of scientific as well. In each case, the next World Cup in South Africa, which are being contested by 32 teams representing the different continents of the world will be full of surprises, and will see this African land euphoria of some countries and a great sadness to other countries.
