Former Ghana goalkeeper, Joe Carr says that the Black Stars lost to Brazil in a recent friendly game because the players were panicking.

The Black Stars played a friendly game against Brazil in France during the September International friendly matches.

“I watched the two friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua, and what I realised was that while the Stars lost against Brazil as a result of panic by our players, and their desire to whitewash the Nicaragua team to make amends for their heavy loss against Brazil caused the Black Stars to squander numerous chances created,” Carr told the Graphic Sports in an exclusive interview.

The Black Stars of Ghana endured a torrid first half against the selecao of Brazil on Friday night in Le Havre as they were handed a rude awakening in a passive display in the first  45  minutes.

Brazil could have scored more than the three goals they had in the first half as Richarlison and Vinicius Junior wasted chances that came their way.

Marquinhos headed home a corner kick from Raphina in the 9th minute before a well-worked team effort was curled home from outside the box by Richarlison in the 28th minute with a pass from Neymar.

The Tottenham forward completed his brace in the 40th minute to make it 3-0 after connecting with a free kick from Neymar after a foul on Neymar from Andre Ayew.
