After the unreasonable playing fields at LASK and Sturm, one thing is clear: grass must grow over this start of the European Cup! Football Austria had already embarrassed itself last year with the mega hole in the Happel Stadium, and now there are even consequences due to the catastrophic conditions. The background of the lawn disaster in Linz and Graz is completely different.
Location Graz: The ‘grass field’ of the Merkur Arena, which can currently be better described as a sand playground, is on everyone’s lips. And despite all criticism, politely formulated. “When I stand there in my coaching zone and look into this minefield of piles of earth, I just hope that something will happen soon,” said a shaking head from Sturm coach Christian Ilzer after the 1:2 against Sporting Lisbon. Portuguese journalists wrote diligently, but good advertising for the (self-proclaimed) sports city of Graz looks different.
