Ghana coach, Avram Grant, has decried the poor state of the Accra Sports Stadium’s pitch, after the Black Stars were held by the Amavubi of Rwanda yesterday, describing it as the ‘worst’ he has ever encountered.
The former Chelsea trainer was not happy with the conditioning and the quality of the pitch, which made the game difficult for his players, in terms of control and executing a final delivery.
In a post-match interview with the press, Grant said; “To be honest, I think the pitch is one of the worst I have ever seen.
“During the match, I asked one of the stadium managers to put water on the pitch, he told me there was no money for fuel, which was unfortunate.
“If we want the best from our players, we must give them the necessary tools to get the best out of them.”
Grant also revealed how ‘very angry’ some of the clubs of certain players were, when their players got injured due to the state of the pitch in the Ghana-Mozambique game at the same venue, some few months back.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars are due to play 2018 World Cup Host, Russia, in an international friendly on Tuesday, September 5, 2016.
