“Gramato”: Players take throw-ins and corners surrounded by bush in a Roraimense game; See | Roraima championship

“Where is the ball?”, asked a fan at the moment when a corner was taken on the opposite side to the stands of the Vila Olímpica Roberto Marinho, which hosted the 5th round of the return of the Roraimense Championship. In addition to the opponents, the players needed to beat the “grass” location, last Friday (3). See photos.

The Canarinho stadium, which traditionally hosts all State matches, was ceded to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) for the match between São Raimundo-RR and Manauara-AM in Brazilian Series D, last Saturday. Therefore, the round with the games Atlético Roraima x River-RR and Náutico-RR x Real-RR needed to take place in the Vila Olímpica.

The Roraimense Football Federation claims that the space administrator is responsible for cleaning. The Education, Tourism, Sports and Culture Foundation (Fetec), responsible for the sports square, reported that “cleaning teams work regularly at the site and will resolve the situation.” See the full note at the end of the report.

Without adequate treatment of the lawn, what was seen was one of the side areas with the lawn completely compromised. In some places, the grass was knee-high to the players, in others, the lack of grass left the land exposed.

The situation was even worse at the corner mark, which is on the opposite side of the stadium’s only stand. There, not even the baseline was drawn completely, as there was no grass to be painted, and right in front, damaging the ball’s trajectory. check out.

Striker Edson Negueba criticized the conditions of the pitch at the Vila Olímpica Roberto Marinho field, even after finding the net twice and reaching the top of the Roraimense Championship’s artillery. The Verdão da Aparecida player told the ge who had the chance to score earlier in the match, but the pitch didn’t allow it to happen.

– Man, it’s really difficult to play on this lawn here. In the first half I missed the chance to score my second goal due to the poor quality of the field. But, I managed to do it during the game – he lamented.

Verdão coach, Sirone Nascimento, was even harsher when talking about the pitch. In addition to calling the grass “grass”, the coach added that the field did not allow the teams to work the ball and questioned how the Roraimense Football Federation (FRF) approved the conditions at the match site.

– Anyone who was here saw them (players) trying to play, which is my style of play, but the pitch didn’t allow that. Very bad lawn. I find it strange how a federation puts a game on a pitch that is like this. It’s a very tall grass. It’s grass, it’s not grass, it’s grass. We were greatly hampered in our game philosophy – said the coach.

Darkson Leal, general secretary of the Roraimense Football Federation (FRF), told ge that, despite the provision of the place for the FRF to host the Roraimense Championship games, “cleaning the Vila Olímpica Roberto Marinho is the responsibility of the administration of the space”.

“The Foundation for Education, Tourism, Sport and Culture (Fetec) informs that Vila Olímpica Roberto Marinho periodically receives cleaning teams from the Municipal Secretariat of Public Services, and reinforces that it will work to ensure that the aforementioned situation is resolved”

In addition to the round played last week, Vila Olímpica Roberto Marinho will host two more matches of the Roraimense Championship next Friday (10). GAS and Atlético Roraima duel at 5pm, and the game Real-RR x Rio Negro-RR closes the seventh round of the second round at 7pm.
