Lack of defensive discipline cost us – Akunnor

Dreams FC manager Charles Akunnor has attributed his side’s 4-0 defeat to Aduana Stars to lack of defensive discipline from the entire team.

It was the third away defeat for the Premier League debutants.

Akunnor stressed that his side’s good dominance in the game were overshadowed by the poor defensive work by the entire team especially in the first half, conceding three goals in 30 minutes.

“Defeats are part of it [football] but once we’re in the game we must concentrate and do what we do best. We were able to play, possess the ball but defensively we were very poor- the entire team,” he said in the post-match presser at the Nana Agyemang Babu Park in Dormaa.

"They are very good. I mean it’s an experienced team with experienced players, Yahaya Mohammed who’s in a good shape and scoring match after match."

Akunnor added: "We were aware of all that and we worked very well towards that with the idea to keep him off especially in standard situations but we lost it in some moments of the game and it cost us the defeat. I must say, defensively the entire team was very poor."

Dreams FC have dropped three steps on the league log after the loss to coach Aristica’s side.
