Curitiba (Brazil), June 10 (IANS/EFE) Spanish defender, Raul Albiol has expressed his worries about the playing surfaces at the 2014 World Cup.
Reminded of the negative experience which Spanish players went through last year when playing the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil, Albiol added that he does not know what the surfaces condition will be, whether dry or moist, reports EFE.
The Spaniard added that players are used to new balls every tournament, but the surface worries them the most.
