Nsoatreman FC coach Maxwell Konadu blames loss of concentration for defeat against Hearts of Oak

Published on: 04 March 2024

Nsoatreman FC coach Maxwell Konadu believes his players' inability to concentrate till the final whistle led to their defeat against Hearts of Oak.

The Phobians came from behind to snatch victory at the Nana Koramansah Park on Sunday in the week 19 of the Ghana Premier League.

The home team took advantage of this and scored the opening goal through Walid Neymah Fuseini in the 23rd minute.

But goals from Salifu Ibrahim and Kasim Cisse propelled the Phobians to snatch the three maximum points.

After the game, Konadu attributed his side defeat to loss of concentration.

“It was a very difficult game. I think when we came in the second half we loss concentration because the instructions were clear, my midfielders, one go and one stays but they failed to abide by it and we conceded. When you leave your back four open, that is what happens. We had a ball and we were going score, they all left their post and we were punished on counter break”

“In the first ten minutes, my players refused to respond to instructions and that is why we kept shouting in the game. we will go back and make sure we do the right things in subsequent games” he said.

Nsoatreman FC are 5th on the Ghana Premier League table with 30 points.
