You Can’t Concede Cheap Goals Like That – Coach Of Udinese Tells Okoye After High Profile Blunder

The coach of Italian Serie A side Udinese Kosta Runjaic has offered his honest assessment of the performance of Nigeria international goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in the 2-3 loss they suffered against champions Inter Milan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Okoye was largely guilty for one of the goals conceded by the team as he failed to gather a weak effort from Lautaro Martinez allowing the effort to creep through his fingers into the net.

Udinese who have started the season on a high note were no where near the champions, but coach Runjaic believe the nature of the way they conceded two of the three goals handed the champions a huge chance to win the game.

He voiced his disappointment while speaking to the official website of the club after the game. ” Overall we played well. It was enjoyable to watch because both teams were attacking. Once again we made simple mistakes and conceded goals. There are always two sides to the coin: there were some good things but we also lost the game. We need to do better”, he was quoted as saying.

“We needed to run a lot today and that’s why I picked the team I did. On the first goal we gave the ball away too cheaply and the second is a goal we should never concede. It was the worst time to let one in. At the end of the day, Inter deserved to win.

I think there are lots of positives to take from today. We’re still in the learning phase and we know there are lots of aspects of our game that we need to improve.”
