'Worried About Injuries...Catastrophic Surface': Julian Nagelsmann Voices Out Concern About Turf Pitches in EURO 2024

News 18  

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann is anxious about players getting serious injuries on Sunday in Frankfurt on the slippery turf that was laid several months ago after NFL games in the stadium. Nagelsmann said he also noticed England midfielder Declan Rice also slipping “and there were some very risky situations.” It is not a new concern for Nagelsmann about a turf field that replaced a hybrid surface brought in for two NFL games seven months ago. It’s a bit of a tricky situation.” Switzerland coach Murat Yakin made a joke of the subject when asked, because his players also had turf issues at their tournament training base in Stuttgart. “You’ve noticed we have trained for a week on a terrible training pitch,” Yakin said on Saturday, “and that could be beneficial for us.” The Frankfurt stadium is not yet halfway through its five-game Euro 2024 duty.
