Alessandro Oliveira, CEO of Soccer Grassthe company responsible for the lawn of Allianz Parquegave an interview to “GE” and spoke about changes in the field of Palm trees after switching from thermoplastic to cork, in a renovation that left Alviverde away from home for more than a month.
The person responsible for the pitch explained what changes the new material will bring to athletes and how cork makes the pitch “even closer to natural grass”.
“In terms of temperature, it will be a more pleasant field and closer to natural grass. The industry has been seeking this, to equalize. With this organic solution, it manages to overcome the temperature issue, it is much closer to natural grass.”
“With this material in place, we see that the comfort is a little better than it was before, it (cork) is softer. I would say it is a fourth generation system, the most modern we have today and still the closest to a natural lawn,” she explained.
A ESPN reported last Tuesday (26) that FIFA’s visit would take place at Allianz Parque had to be postponed until this Wednesday (27). It will happen after Palmeiras carries out its training prior to the semi-finals of the Paulista championshipagainst Novorizontinoon Thursday night (28).
