The game is over but both sides were offering cahrity goals. This tournamnet is a good reflection for ethiopia in terms of potentials and pitfalls. The team needs to build itself up as the defensive holes are a lot as tight marking, defensive pressuring and left and right zonal defenses display visible weaknesses. security of ball build up is low in nearly in all areas.Ball give out is endemic and there is lack of confidence in securely posessing ball and building up the play. The tactical approach also seems very flat and easy for the opposition to read ethiopia's game and erect a defensive block once the passes become evident. If ethiopia is weak physically they need to sharpen up their technical passes or otherwise get themselves ready for the physical encounter. There is also tiredness. But overall the best approach is to sharpen the technical play which the ethiopian players have the potential to increase.
