The boss of Arsenal Renee Slegers fears that more players would be injured if the matches continue to be played on lower quality throws.
Tuesday evening, the 2-0 defeat of the Champions of the Gunners League at Real Madrid took place on Tuesday evening on a rain area which was described as “shame” of the former arsenal striker Ian Wright.
It took place at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium, the 6,000 -seat house in Real’s Reserves, while Arsenal guaranteed better land when they welcome Liverpool in WSL at the Emirates stadium, Live on Sky Sports This Saturday, as well as the return leg with real next Wednesday.
“Of course, we like to play on a good surface, I think each team does it. It makes football a little easier,” said Slegers.
“I think that women’s football deserves to play on good areas. At least because of the risk of injuries of players.”
The conditions seemed to have caused a bad injury to Melanie Leupolz de Real, who caught his stallions in the mud while playing a pass, the German midfielder leaving the field in tears.
Real later confirmed that the former Chelsea player had undergone a torn lateral ligament and will be sidelined for two months.
“It is not for me to assess and it would be a difficult call to make, why it happened,” said Slegers.
“But there was a field injury and, yes, we want good throws, for the health of the players.”

There were also criticisms of the Derby’s Pride Park play surface, which welcomed the final of the Sunday League Cup between Chelsea and Manchester City, and that the Blues midfielder Erin Cuthbert was “not able to a final”.
Speaking before Sunday’s Revenge WSL match with City, Chelsea’s boss, Sonia Bompastor, said: “I think it is simply not acceptable to be able to play on bad locations, first of all because of the quality, but also, and perhaps mainly because of the safety of the players.
“I think this is something that we really have to take into account, being in 2025, we are in the modern world where in the female game, we should have the best possible throws.

Chelsea director Sonia Bompastor says her first trophy as a Chelsea manager “feels good”.
“It is never easy to talk about other clubs, but when they have such a good team to the men’s team and a good stadium, I think they should assume the responsibility of playing the women’s team in the Madrid Big Stadium.
“UEFA should make certain decisions and they should impose on clubs to be able to have another land, especially when it comes to an international break for the men’s team and the large stadium is available.
“I know it costs money, that’s for sure, but if you want to help women football, you have to make these decisions.”
The other WSL match on Saturday sees Rock-Bottom Crystal Palace, who only won his second game of the season against Aston Villa last weekend, going to Everton, eighth.
“They were probably thrown a rescue canoe last weekend,” said Toffees boss Brian Sorensen.
“They know if they can continue and do the same tomorrow, they will be in a good place for the last five games of the season.”
