Onana held himself and the defenders accountable for every goal conceded. He stressed the importance of scrutinizing both individual and team actions, analyzing whether more could have been done to avert these situations. The goalkeeper’s perspective was clear – each goal conceded is a result of a misstep somewhere on the field.
Looking ahead, Onana urged the team to review missed opportunities and lapses in performance. He underscored the significance of acknowledging these errors and learning from them.
The goalkeeper’s introspective approach highlights the team’s commitment to growth and improvement, acknowledging that even setbacks provide valuable lessons to carry forward.
