The images went around the world. Not only that of the numerous Moroccan fans sneaking into the RCDE Stadium last Friday in the match between their national team and Chile, but what happened later, when hundreds of others jumped onto the pitch, climbed on goals, even ripped seats. Some consequences that could lead to the deterioration of the pitch for this Sunday’s match between Espanyol and Valencia. Barely a week later, the club assures that it will be “in perfect condition”.
The first scan was done on the same Saturday. At first glance, there was no major damage to the lawn, although as the inspection became more thorough, parts began to be seen that were not in the best condition. This is how Cornellà played its game against Castellón on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. The grass was a bit sluggish, it looked worn, sometimes even some sand was raised when the players hit the ball hard. On Monday, the club began the countdown and intensified the care and treatments to condition him.
The performance was based on three parts. The first, reseeding part of the lawn with seedattached to the fertilizer and manure application, as a second point. And, finally, in the areas that required it, it was applied artificial light therapy. All this has caused the grass to improve its appearance taking into account the accumulation of matches and the invasion of the field that happened in the international match.
Starting in June, after the season, the national team matches and the concerts that took place, the state-of-the-art hybrid grass was regenerated, which has a durability of ten years. This type of lawn, with the company Royal Verd as responsible for the care, increases resistance, stability and ease of drainage. All this helps the lawn to have less wear despite everything that happened the previous week.
