Parma coach Roberto Donadoni has lashed out at his players, especially Ghanaian Afriyie Acquah as being careless and naive following their 4-2 defeat to Udinese at the?Stadio Friuli.
The Ducali have now suffered four defeats and conceded 14 goals from their opening five matches in the Serie A this season. Donadoni is urging his side to rediscover their self-belief.
?The game was played well from a performance point of view,? the 51-year-old tactician told?Sky Sport Italia. ?Udinese had five opportunities and scored four times, so our carelessness cost us.?
?We have not been good enough, and we must take advantage of our opportunities next time. We took Udinese for granted too easily, and there were situations which we should?ve handled better.
?We must get back on track by working hard and believing in ourselves, because a team like ours have missed out on many points.?
He added: ?Our game plan was carried out well. This gives us some solace, but it makes us realise that we must do more. We must be careful in certain individual situations and I?m referring to the dismissal of Afriyie Acquah. He was too na?ve,? Donadoni noted.
