The grass is definitely looking greener on the other side of the fence as far as Euro 2024 is concerned.There have been several complaints from players and coaches about the quality of the turf on which the games were played.
“Even if you played with iron studs, the turf was very slippery. It’s definitely not the best field.”Danish midfielder Joakim Maehle about the field on which the Denmark England game was played.
“I was a defender. Playing on such a field gets on your nerves because you are not quite sure of your footing. One moment, one mistake can affect the outcome of the match.” ( Gareth Southgate)
Unfortunately, the pitch here is a real disaster.In the last third of the field, we slipped in many situations.” Jamal Musiala after the Germany Switzerland game.
Those in charge of tur have laid the blame on NFL games, global warming (too much rain) and other things like that. Not much can be done to improve things at this late stage of the tournament to turf luck to all the teams that are going to play the last 16 games soon.They can hope for the best and no one will be left with Steven Gerrard trauma ( Memory of how a small slip can lead to complete and utter disaster)
