AVRAM GRANT LASHES OUT ON BAD TREATMENT FROM CAF AHEAD OF ALGERIA CLASH

Ghana coach Avram Grant has accused
CAF of biased treatment against his team
ahead of the crucial game against
Algeria on Friday .
The Black Stars were made to do their
official pre- match training session in
Oyala which is almost an hour’ s drive
away from Mongomo .
The team ’s official pre -match press
conference was also set at 7 pm local time.
Ghana is desperate for a win against the
tournament favourites on Friday
following the disappointing 2 - 1 defeat
suffered against Senegal in their opening
Group C match.
And Grant believes the long drive and
hectic press conference schedule is
calculated to disrupt his preparations for
the crucial game.
“The journalist that were here the last
time know I said good things about the
organization [of 2015 AFCON ] but I must
say now I am not so happy , ” he said .
“I have coached for a long time and I
don’t think it is right to set a press
conference at a time I am supposed to be
with the team .
“Secondly on the day before the game we
have to drive over one and a half hour
for training.
“The reason why I came [to press
conference ] is that I respect the work of
the journalist.
“But that wouldn’ t be the case next time.
“Then they don ’t allow us to train near
our hotel but allow Algeria to train near
their hotel .
“The change the venue of the training
and we asked that they bring it close but
they refused .
“And the bus we have moves like a ship ,
we are the only team with this kind of
bus . ”
