The Italian could be seen pointing at the playing surface as he spoke with members of his staff and feels it has hazardous bobbles, which are possibly caused by the freezing Ukraine winter and could result in injuries.Asked his thoughts on the pitch, the Chelsea head coach replied: “A disaster.“The pitch is not good. I think that it’s dangerous, really dangerous.“It’s really dangerous to play any football here in this moment, and I think it’s really very dangerous for injuries.“But the situation is this. So we have to accept the situation.“I don’t know the reason – probably the winter. I played here two years ago (with Napoli) and the pitch was wonderful.”The stadium was the venue for last season’s Champions League final and also hosted two of England’s matches at Euro 2012.Blues forward Willian, who scored a superb free-kick in first leg, shared his manager’s concerns and feels the team will have to be cautious. “We know that we have to take care of ourselves tomorrow. Sometimes that’s not possible,” said the Brazilian.“Sometimes it happens, you get injuries. But I hope, tomorrow, we just go there and play well and win this game.“I think we’ve played on pitches that weren’t the best as well, so we have to adapt.”
