Manchester United Will Play on Synthetic Grass at Alkmaar Headquarters

DBasia.news –  Synthetic grass will be a test for Manchester United when playing at AZ Alkmaar’s headquarters in the Europa League match.

Indeed, Kyocera Stadium is not the headquarters of AZ Alkmaar. AZ Alkmaar’s pen, AFAS Stadium, is being repaired after the roof had collapsed last month.

As a result, the match against Man United will be held 112 kilometers from AFAS Stadium. Kyocera Stadium is the headquarters of another Eredivisie club, ADO Den Haag.

The problem is, the Kyocera Stadium is one of the worst stadiums in the Netherlands. Although it had become the place of the world hockey championship in 2013, the stadium did not get renovation.

According to Mirror’s report, Kyocera Stadium is still using synthetic grass. It was predicted to be dangerous for Manchester United players who were accustomed to playing on natural grass.

The Red Devils players are estimated to be more susceptible to injury when playing on synthetic grass. In fact, a number of Den Haag players have repeatedly complained about field conditions that make injury easy.

That way, the long list of injured Manchester United players can continue to grow. Previously, the Red Devils had lost Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly, and Diogo Dalot.

Manchester United played on a field that used artificial turf last season when facing Young Boys. At that time, Jose Mourinho was furious with UEFA for the potential of making the Man United players injured.

Before traveling to the AZ Alkmaar headquarters, Manchester United will host Arsenal in the continuing match of the Premier League 2019-2020, at Old Trafford Stadium, Tuesday (1/10) AM. Paul Pogba is in 11th position with eight points.
