Accra Hearts Of Oak’s head coach Slavko Matic has made a clarification on why his team suffered a defeat to Ahafo’s Bechem United on Monday afternoon.
According to the Serbian coach, the Phobians were beaten because the players became nervous.
“Nobody likes to lose but we gave to our opponents everything today. In the first 15 minutes, they scored two goals. We know they have good transitions, but we made tactical mistakes.
“When it’s an open ball and you don’t have good defensive transitions, you must go big. We tried to take the ball. We gave them space. Also, they had one more chance and shot. We gave everything to them. And after that, it is very difficult. Our players start to get nervous and today we lose. Very cheap,” Coach Slavko Matic defended his defeat.
In the match against Bechem United, Hearts of Oak conceded twice in two goals before the 16th minute.
Although Kwadwo Obeng Jnr would net a consolation goal in the 89th minute of the second half, it could not save the team from a 2-1 defeat at the end of the contest.
It’s a mandate for Slavo Matic to win the Betway Premier League with Hearts of Oak regardless, ”in a contract agreement according to a Club Management report to fans.
