Black Maidens head coach Evans Adotey says that conceding early goals against Japan totally unsettled his team and that led to a 5-0 loss.<\/p>\n
Ghana conceded as early as the 7th minute and by the end of the first half, the Black Maidens were four goals down.<\/p>\n
Adotey believes that the quick goals affected his team. \u201cWe had a game plan today. I knew that in our opening match we\u2019d be facing a very strong Japanese side. I know their strengths and that\u2019s why I wanted to put them under pressure early on. However, we conceded easy goals far too quickly.<\/p>\n
“They were simple passes that completely took out our entire defence,\u201d he said after the match to FIFA.com.<\/p>\n
However, he did not feel bogged down by the result and was confident that the Maidens could get a good result in their next two group matches against the USA on Tuesday and Paraguay on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve still got two more games and we\u2019re by no means out of the competition yet. We\u2019ll bounce back against USA and get back to our old strength. I\u2019ll learn some lessons from today\u2019s game and maybe go back to playing simple football and playing on the break,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
