Answers and on the subject of her terrain OPAP Arena in the match of the national team against the Netherlands, he wanted to give AEK.
After positioning on the closed shoe issue (which clarified that it was a decision of the Police), the “Union” also took a position on the situation of playing field.
So it is mentioned specifically from the yellow and black PAE:
“First of all, we informed about it in time basically visual issue that would exist. We also informed that the authorities had taken the necessary measurements for the playability and there was absolutely no problem. For the visual part we repeat, we had updated as it was inevitable.
It was inevitable because, as we also informed, we were in the process reseeding.
This was confirmed in his statement today by Mr. Grimotsisresponsible for all Super League stadiums.
However today they put us in a position apologeticinstead of saying that AEK, despite the fact that the playing field is in this process, did not create any problem so he doesn’t have a problem the National Team.
The National Team that cannot use the OAKA of course, he can’t play on Karaiskakis for reasons we all know from the experience of his years of playing, he has been declared unwanted from the fans of teams in other big stadiums in the country.
Despite the fact that we have her process pressure in order for the lawn to be as it should be in view of the winter season, we had no hesitation in putting first the need of the National Team. And while we did this and while we gave full information before the match about all the questions that might arise, we hear and read various things.
Let us note here that with all due respect to Virgil Van Dyck, three days ago he made similar statements about the Johan Cruyff Arena pitch in Amsterdam, after the defeat by France. And today there are publications both in his home country and in England that emphasize this and that embellish.
From then on, according to Mr. Grimotsis, OPAP ARENA is in the club of better ones of the country’s stadiums, with specifications of the largest international stadiums (San Siro, Old Trafford, Etihad, Signal Induna Park, etc.).
Adhering to all standardsthere is a 15 cm gravel layer, a 30 cm sand layer, a highly absorbent drainage system and a high-quality synthetic perimeter for the football players, as it has the same mechanical characteristics as the pitch.
The measurements of Mr. Grimotsis’ laboratory are made with the stricter existing standard (ISO 17025).
In conclusion, he, as a scientist, considers that AEK “sacrifices” giving its field to the National team. If she wanted to put her interest above the national team, she would make sure to have a gap of 20-25 days SHE period (not e.g. June or July), i.e. from mid-September to early November. It is the necessary period for the proper maintenance and improvement of the playing field.
And see that there was no new stadium without it problems. Real and City have changed turf twice in the last year”.
