Asante Kotoko head coach, Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, has expressed his disappointment with his team’s recent performances, labeling their dip in form as unexpected and frustrating. The coach, known for emphasizing consistency and discipline, is puzzled by the stark contrast between their earlier strong displays and their current struggles.
In a pre-match press conference, Ogum did not mince words when addressing the team’s poor run of results: “I’m not happy at all about the kind of performance we put up over a few games and the result we have gotten out of those games.” The Porcupine Warriors, who had shown promise earlier in the season, now find themselves in a challenging situation, with fans worried and the coach seeking solutions.
The team’s failure to maintain their attacking flair and defensive stability has been evident in their recent matches. Ogum understands the need for a quick turnaround and is determined to see his players rise to the occasion. “It is not typical of us because, even where we peaked up to, our performance and where we got to and the results that we were getting, we least expected a sudden turnaround or turnover in terms of performance and results. I’m not happy at all. I’m disappointed,” he emphasized.
Asante Kotoko now faces a crucial period where they must show character and resilience to bounce back and regain momentum in the league. With Ogum leading the charge and demanding more from his players, the spotlight will be on the team’s response in their upcoming fixtures against Nations FC in Abrankese, Kumasi.
The team’s loyal supporters will be hoping for a resurgence from their beloved club, and it will be interesting to see how Asante Kotoko navigates through this challenging phase under the guidance of Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum.
