His comments come after, the Black Stars lost their game against favorites Morocco on Monday with a disappointing performance resulting in a 1-0 defeat.
Sofiane Boufal scored the game’s only goal in the 83rd minute as Morocco claimed another win over the Black Stars.
Ghana has now been beaten by Morocco on two consecutive occasions, having won by a similar scoreline in a friendly match last year.
As an all-time tops corer for Ghana, Asamoah Gyan reacting to the defeat on Super Sports said the Black Stars conceded an easy goal.
“In that zone sometimes you need to be careful not to concede a penalty but my problem was, the defenders were unable to match the Moroccan attackers. strikers are sometimes intelligent; they can create penalty anytime so the Black Stars were more cautious but they were not closer to the striker’ he said.
“If you want to defend deep, you make sure you are closer to the person, you don’t allow the player to shoot so I think we conceded an easy goal” he added.
