Fresh from their battering at the hands of Japan, Black Maidens coach Evans Adotey took time to reflect on his side’ performance in their opening game in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The Maidens were humbled 5-0 by the well-drilled Japanese side and their head coach believes the early goal conceded disrupted all their plans.
“We had a game plan today. I knew that in our opening match we’d be facing a very strong Japanese side.
"I know their strengths and that’s why I wanted to put them under pressure early on. However, we conceded easy goals far too quickly. They were simple passes that completely took out our entire defence,” he told FIFA.com
“We’ve still got two more games and we’re by no means out of the competition yet. We’ll bounce back against USA and get back to our old strength.
"I’ll learn some lessons from today’s game and maybe go back to playing simple football and playing on the break.”
The Maidens play USA in their next game.
