Marco Silva, Benfica's coach, expressed his dissatisfaction with the state of the pitch at the Estádio dos Barreiros, where the red and white team played a match. The coach described the field as "a horrible pitch, where it is almost impossible to play," expressing his displeasure clearly and directly.
The Benfica coach called for better quality pitches in the Portuguese league, emphasizing that the playing surface conditions are not suitable for top-level sporting practice. Silva believes this is an issue that should receive more attention from the organizations running Portuguese football.
The Estádio dos Barreiros is the home of Marítimo, the club that faced Benfica. Marco Silva's complaint comes after a match played at this venue, where the pitch conditions are said to have affected the teams' performance.
