August 29th, Vallecano will face Barcelona at home in La Liga this weekend. Vallecano head coach Inigo Perez warned that the poor turf at home has both worried both our team and Barcelona.

Inigo Perez won the team's home victory in Vengotnu and advanced to the European Union's main match. He took advantage of the press conference to mention the upcoming match against Barcelona.

Although Inigo Perez's side easily defeated Liven Gothennu in the Europa League qualifier, Perez did not ignore the issue of home turf. He pointed out that the turf condition not only worried Barcelona, ​​but also troubled his team. "The turf is not in good condition, and we are worried about it," he said.

This remark is in contrast to the statement made by Vallecano Chairman Raul Martin Presa in an earlier interview with El Chiringuito. At the time, although Presa admitted that the high temperature affected the quality of the turf, he believed that this was not a problem for the team.

Vallecano players also made relatively peaceful comments on the turf issue after winning the Europa League qualifiers. Winter Alvaro Garcia scored a goal in the game and said: "When we played in Girona a few days ago, the turf was not in good condition. I think it may be due to the weather. This is the status quo and we have to adapt." He also added that the two teams will play on the same field, "we will be affected."

Vallecano No. 10 player Sergio Carmelo also expressed no concern about the turf condition: "We played well here and won 4-0 in the UEFA qualifiers."

This big victory in the UEFA qualifiers has allowed Vallecano to participate in the European event again after 25 years, and has also added confidence to their face against Barcelona.

"We put in a lot of effort, but that's what we encounter when we are in the European war. I was very excited to see the enthusiasm of the fans. I think they must have experienced a lot of difficulties," Perez said.
