João Brandão slams Felgueiras pitch: “How does Liga Portugal allow this?” | OneFootball

Felgueiras defeated FC Porto B (2-0) on Sunday morning, consolidating their 10th place in the standings, while the blue and whites saw their rivals in the fight for survival get closer. The 15th round of Liga Meu Super was marked by a pitch in poor condition.

“A match? On this pitch? I don’t understand how Liga Portugal allows games to be played on this pitch. I have a young player who made his debut today in the professional leagues and he could have suffered a serious injury because of the pitch,” criticized the Porto coach, João Brandão, referring to Yoan Pereira, a 17-year-old winger who came off badly from a play where the opponent slipped inside the field.

The FC Porto B coach didn’t stop there, although he also highlighted his own players’ approach to the plays. “We didn’t start as we should have, but we spent most of the warm-up worried about the state of the pitch. We made some mistakes that pushed us back and allowed many set pieces to FC Felgueiras, situations in which they are strong. It was from one of our errors that the corner leading to the first goal came about. We reacted and had several chances to score, especially in the second half. When we were pressing the opponent and creating opportunities, we lost a player,” he emphasized.
