Conmebol monitors coaches during Libertadores hydration breaks

Conmebol introduced a "Big Brother" style monitoring of coaches during Libertadores hydration breaks, capturing their instructions. This new measure involves microphones and cameras from Conmebol's production team recording coach-player interactions during mandatory 90-second hydration pauses in each half. The initiative, also seen in preliminary rounds, aims to provide viewers with added insight, similar to NBA broadcasts, though coaches may be uncomfortable with their strategies being exposed.
