Nigeria international goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has explained the reason behind conceding three goals in Udinese’s 0-3 defeat in the hands of Roma last weekend in the Italian Serie A, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Okoye has been in splendid form this season for Udinese who have been unbeaten in all tournaments heading into last weekend game, where they were hammered 3-0.
The Nigerian was still one of the best players for his team in the defeat making two big saves in the first half, and wasn’t at fault for any of the goal his team conceded in what can be said to be a reality check on their fine start to the season.
“We started the season well, but today was a difficult match”, he told the official website of the club after the game.
“We played against a great team like Roma. We didn’t do enough, we were slow in moving and communicating,” he added.
“We are disappointed, but we need to look ahead immediately, Salernitana and Inter are two great opportunities. We have to stay focused.”
