We Have To Be More Clinical Ghana Coach Otto Addo On Lesson Learnt During Angola Defeat

Black Stars coach Otto Addo believes his team were not clinical enough as they suffered an opening day defeat to Angola in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. 

A late strike from Felicio Milson ended Ghana's 24-year unbeaten run at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, leaving the Black Stars with the task of travelling to Morocco to beat Niger and get their campaign back on track.

While reacting to the result, Addo stated that his players took too much time to make decisions in very good positions of striking.

"Surely, we have to be more clinical. I saw a lot of situations where we could have shot earlier, we should have been a little bit more egoistic," he said at the post-match presser.

"Even though I don't like if a player has a better position and you don't give him the ball, I don't like it. But this game, I think there was a lot of situations where we could have taken shots and we passed to the next one, passed to the next one.

"Also, I think the players that did that all, they tried everything, we control the match and this is also football. I was a player myself. I had bad games when we won and sometimes you play good and you lose. This is football."

Morocco and Sudan sit top of Group C and will square off on Monday with Ghana engaging Niger on the same day.
