France midfielder Dimitri Payet mocked the state of the playing surface at Lille's Stade Pierre Mauroy, saying he was happy to be a substitute against Switzerland on Sunday as it meant not having to play a full game on it.
"I'm glad I didn't play much on Lille's pitch, because it was in bad shape," said Payet, who came on midway through the second half.
"It's a pity because it stops us developing our game the way we'd like. We're going to Lyon [for the next game] and things will be better."
Several France players slipped during the game.
"In my opinion, it is linked to the state of the pitch," Payet said on Monday. "Because most of our players, if not all, play with proper [fixed] studs."
France coach Didier Deschamps was also unhappy with the playing surface.
"I don't know who is responsible," he said following the 0-0 draw. "But we are only in the group stage of the competition and having such a pitch is not a good thing."
Meanwhile, poor field conditions prevented Spain and Croatia from training at the stadium at the Stade de Bordeaux.
There were several lighting machines on the field Monday to help the grass recover. The most affected areas were located near the sidelines.
The teams' training sessions were transferred to Stade Chaban-Delmas, about a half-hour away.
