Club World Cup: MetLife Stadium pitch criticised after hosting first game
The head coaches of both FC Porto and Palmeiras, as well as the Brazilian wonderkid Estevao, criticised the turf at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday night following the draw between the two teams in the Club World Cup. MetLife Stadium will host eight Club World Cup matches this summer, including both semi-finals and the final, before hosting the men's World Cup final next summer in a tournament which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Advertisement Playing surfaces were a cause for complaint at last summer's Copa America in the U.S. and the Argentine head coach Lionel Scaloni described the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta as not being up to standard while goalkeeper Emi Martinez said it was a 'disaster' and 'like a trampoline.' Brown patches were also visible on the sides of the pitch at MetLife during last summer's tournament, which was organised by CONMEBOL rather than FIFA. In a news conference following the 0-0 draw between Brazilian team Palmeiras and the Portuguese team FC Porto, the 18-year-old man of the match Estevao raised the pitch as a cause of concern. Estevao, who has already agreed to join Premier League team Chelsea after this tournament, said: 'I think the pitch should have been watered a little more as the ball was a little slow which interferes with the pace of the game. It was both for ourselves and for Porto. As the game went on, it rained which made it roll a bit faster.' Over the past year, FIFA has studied which grass type would be best for MetLife, before deciding upon a 'warm-season grass' it believed would endure the local conditions. The Athletic has previously reported that grass was grown at Tuckahoe Turf Farms, which is also responsible for the grass being grown for the men's World Cup in 2026. The stadium, shared by the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets, usually has a synthetic turf but the FIFA competitions this year and next summer require natural grass. This week has been inconsistent in terms of weather, with boiling temperatures midweek before dropping closer to 60 degrees Fahrenheit over the weekend. Abel Ferreira, the Palmeiras coach, said: 'In the beginning, the pitch was dry. I don't know who is the patron saint for rain but after it rained it then enabled us to play our game.' Advertisement The Porto player Ze Pedro also said the pitch 'could be better' while the Porto coach Martin Anselmi added: 'I do feel like the pitch caused us to be a bit imprecise. This was particularly when we wanted to accelerate the game. There were some mistakes that happened (as a result) but the grass is the same for both teams. We had to adapt.' Meanwhile, the Palmeiras coach also suggested that FIFA should consolidate fans within the lower rings of the stadium when attendances fall considerably below a sell-out during this tournament. This match had a creditable attendance of 46,275, largely made up of passionate Palmeiras fans and while the lower rings appeared close to full, supporters were scattered across three tiers which does not make for the best atmosphere. Some had flown in but the match also benefited from the Brazilian diaspora within the U.S. Ferreira said: 'The issue is the stadium is huge. Forty-six thousand is a big number but maybe they could have closed the third ring and placed everyone in the first and second (to bring it closer).. But with the amount of Palmeiras fans, it was like we were playing at home and this was a strength for Palmeiras. The stadium is too big but 46,000 is very good when people from Brazil and Portugal had to come and fly in and it's not so easy to do that.' He declined to comment as to whether FIFA should look to reduce ticket prices further in order to make the game more accessible to a broader audience. FIFA did provide QR codes to fans attending the game on boards outside the stadium which offered 20 per cent discount on other group stage games being played at MetLife Stadium. Thursday's fixture for Palmeiras against Al-Ahly at MetLife has now dropped down to $45 on Ticketmaster for standard admission while Tuesday's noon kick off between Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense is now down to $33 at the same venue.

No doubt Delap will be England number nine: Chelsea's Maresca
Liam Delap joined Chelsea this summer and Enzo Maresca believes he can be England's number nine in the future (Oli SCARFF) Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca said Sunday he is confident new signing Liam Delap will become England's number nine after Harry Kane. Bayern Munich striker Kane, 31, has led the line for England for most of the last decade, but Delap is showing great potential, which led Chelsea to snap him up for £30 million ($41 million) from relegated Ipswich Town earlier this month. Advertisement "I don't have any doubt that he can be in the future England's number nine," said Chelsea's coach on the eve of their Club World Cup opener against Los Angeles FC, when asked if Delap could succeed Kane. Maresca would not confirm if the 22-year-old forward will start at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday but said Delap was not showing any nerves after taking the Blues' number nine shirt. Chelsea have signed several high-profile strikers in recent years who have struggled at the club, including Fernando Torres, Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata. "Liam knows quite well how important is the number nine for this club... I see him quite relaxed, easy, he's doing well, since he arrived he's working well," said Maresca. Advertisement The Italian coached Delap in Manchester City's under-21 team previously and said the link between them would be mutually beneficial. "We know each other already from years ago, so I know what Liam can give us, he knows what we can give to him to improve and to become a better player," explained Maresca. "He was keen to join us because he knows the way we play, the season that we were scored 24 goals. "We like Liam, Liam likes us, so it was an easy conversation." The coach said he had not promised Delap he would be starting ahead of Nicolas Jackson. "I never say to a player you (will) be a first choice, the message is always the same, you arrive, you work hard, you work more than the other number nine (and you can be)," he added. Advertisement Maresca said Chelsea were interested in signing a left-winger later in the summer to replace Jadon Sancho, whose loan will not be made permanent, but for now were focused on the Club World Cup and first opponents LAFC. "I'm never confident, I don't know if it's something good or something bad, but I think because of the technology today, any game can be difficult," he said. "They can watch many games about us, we can watch many games about them, so every game becomes very complicated." rbs/as

Liam Delap ‘future England No 9' says Maresca but not guaranteed to be first-choice at Chelsea
Enzo Maresca insists Liam Delap has not been given any assurances about being Chelsea's first-choice striker, but is backing him to become England's next great No 9. Delap completed a £30million move to Chelsea from relegated Ipswich Town earlier this month and went straight into Maresca's squad for the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. Advertisement But the Italian would not confirm if Delap will make his Chelsea debut from the start in Monday's first group stage match against LAFC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and warned that the 22-year-old will have to compete with Nicolas Jackson for the No 9 spot in his strongest XI. 'I never say to a player you are going to be first choice,' Maresca said. 'The message is always the same: you arrive, you work hard, you work more than the other number nine and you can be first choice No 9. So the conversation with Liam was quite clear. He was keen to join us because he knows the way we play, the season that we were together (at City). 'We won for the first time for Manchester City the (Premier League) under-23 competition, and he scored 24, 25 goals that season. So he knows exactly what we can give to him, and as I said before, I know what Liam can give us. So I think it's a win-win and the conversation was quite an easy one. We like Liam, Liam likes us, so it was an easy conversation.' On the subject of Delap's future England prospects, Maresca added: 'Before we faced Ipswich, (when) Liam was not a Chelsea player, I said that for me, potentially he can be England No 9. He was not even with us. And for sure now that he's with us, I'm going to say again that I don't have any doubt that he can be in the future England No 9.' Despite his clear satisfaction at adding Delap to his attacking options, Maresca was also keen to stress that his Chelsea squad is short of a winger after the club opted against making Jadon Sancho's loan from Manchester United permanent and did not conclude a deal for Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens before the end of the brief pre-Club World Cup transfer window. 'Jadon is not with us, so for sure that is a position that probably we need to do something (in the market),' Maresca said. 'Also because as you already know, Misha (Mykhailo Mudryk) is not with us. So in this moment we have Noni (Madueke), Pedro (Neto) and Ty (Tyrique George) as proper wingers. So for sure something is going to happen. 'We said many times when the window of transfers is open, anything can happen to bring players or to sell players. But we'll see.'
