RAAL La Louvière lost at Charleroi. Before the match, they trained on grass. According to the source, for the very first time.
I read the sentence again. It doesn’t change.
Edward Still wanted to change the preparation for matchday 10. He took his team to Flénu, near Mons, to a grass pitch. Two sessions. It doesn’t seem to have paid off. The coach wondered why the team’s away games seem so hard to get right.
Since 2017, RAAL have played on the grass of the Tivoli and almost always trained on artificial turf. Until they played their matches at the Easi Arena too. According to the source, some players even refused to come because of the surface.
In 1980, the question didn’t arise. There was grass, mud, and sometimes both in the same rectangle. You trained on what there was. I’m not criticising. I’m comparing.
Frédéric Taquin, a former RAAL coach, talks about footing and the choice of studs. He advises to “make the switch from Monday”. The switch. In my day, we changed socks, and we didn’t make a method of it.
That leaves the Tivoli. It is two metres from the Easi Arena. Edward Still answered: “It isn’t ready”. The athletics club has damaged it over the past year. Toni Turi, the managing director, has found an agreement with the City and Aclo. The pitch “should be usable during November”.
Marcel, two metres is the distance from my bench to the bar. I’ve got it on a slope.
Note that I’m not against artificial turf. I’m against the idea that you have to train to recognise grass. Well. It’s the times.
It’s true, we checked: DH Les Sports+.
