In a recent statement, he has described the conditions as &ldquo;very dangerous&rdquo;. This comes after he nearly fainted during Chelsea&rsquo;s Club World Cup semi-final win against Fluminense.<\/p><p>The Argentine midfielder revealed he felt &lsquo;dizzy&rsquo; and had to lie down on the pitch to recover. The temperatures in New Jersey soared to 35&deg;C (95&deg;F) during the afternoon kickoff that day.
