Ghana U20′s mercurial midfielder Clifford Aboagye has lashed out at the performance of the team�s defence at the just-ended World Cup insisting a better performance from the defenders could have won the Black Satellites the title. The Italy-based playmaker, who was named the third best player at the tournament in Turkey, says despite the impressive showing of the team�s striker the defence allowed their opponents to dominate them. Aboagye�s assessment is backed by the statistics at the tournament as the Black Satellites conceded 12 goals in the 7 matches they played at the tournament. �We had a porous defence and that let us down. Even though our strikers were scoring, our defence let us down,� Aboagye told Takoradi-based Skyy Power FM. The Black Satellites returned to Ghana on Sunday night after finishing third in the competition.
