Richard Ofori who has been blamed for committing blunders in some of the goals he conceded has stated that the entire team were jittery against a formidable Japanese side in the first and that contributed to their heavy defeat.
“We were nervous against Japan and that resulted in the three early goals we considered. But when Avram Grant and Maxwell Konadu spoke to us during the half time break we managed to contain them during the second half of the game.
“The Japan Olympics team is a well-rehearsed side. They know the movement of their teammates and play accordingly, he told Happy FM.
