Paulo Catarro publicly criticized the poor state of pitches in Portuguese League stadiums, using a metaphor to describe the posture of those responsible for the problem. According to the commentator, "the responsible ones act like the ostrich and bury their heads in the sand", thus denouncing the lack of action in the face of what he considers a serious situation.
The commentator highlighted that the situation directly affects the integrity of football matches, warning that "sporting truth is completely adulterated" when players are forced to compete in inadequate conditions.
Paulo Catarro also pointed to specific cases considered critical, referring to the venues of Estrela da Amadora and Rio Maior as particularly concerning examples of the deplorable state of pitches in the Portuguese League.
