Grant, who is already under pressure after loosing the AFCON opener against Senegal, was unhappy with his side's training pitch as well as the team bus.

"We had to drive one hour (to train), while Algeria could train near the hotel," Grant said in a news conference, as quoted by FourFourTwo.

"They change the venue of the training, both of us need to train one hour from the hotel a day before the game.

"We asked to come closer, they didn't let us do it.

"I am sorry to say, (but) you need to see our bus. It is a bus, which behaves like a ship.

"We are the only team that receives this bus, the other team have a good bus."

The former Chelsea boss was also annoyed with the little time to prepare for his press conference, but praised his side despite their defeat in the first game.

"We want to achieve something (in the rest of this tournament), especially after the bad result in the first game - even though I thought the players played very well," he added.
