'I Think I Made Mistakes' - Otto Addo Speaks After Brazil Thrash Ghana 3-0 In A Pre-World Cup Friendly

Coach Otto Addo has admitted making mistakes in decisions he made during the Black Stars game against the Selecao of Brazil.

The Black Stars lost by three first half goals - in a 45 minutes that was totally dominated by the Brazilians.

In the post-match presser, he defended his starting 11 and stressed that decisions going forward will be based on performances.

"My selection was not a gamble. It was a decision of complex things. Line up was good but we had to work harder to close the spaces.

"I think I made mistakes, I learnt a lot more about my players, and picking the next 11 will depend on the performance in the next game," he stressed.
