Asante Kotoko head coach, Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum has said, he is not under pressure ahead of Sunday’s Ghana Premier League clash against Karela United.
Asante Kotoko have scored 8 goals and conceded one – keeping three clean sheets against Bechem United, Bibiani Gold Stars and Eleven Wonders.
Coach Johnson Smith led Kotoko to beat Karela 2-0 United on February 7, 2021, to end their outstanding 5-year unbeaten home record.
League leaders Asante Kotoko will trek to the West to play Karela United FC on Match Day Five of the Ghana Premier League at the CAM Park.
The Porcupine Warriors have won all two away matches (Dreams FC) and (Bibiani Gold Stars) and will fight for the three points at Aiyinase on Sunday. Aside from their firepower, Asante Kotoko seems to have found a solid midfield partnership between Richmond Lamptey, Mudasiru Salifu, and Fabio Gama.
“There is no pressure on us and we are taking it cool as we prepare for the game on Sunday. We take it to match after the match so there is no pressure on us”. Prosper Ogum said.
He also urged the club’s supporters to trust and support the process under his watch.
“I think they [fans] should keep their cool and calm. They should be patient and should try as much as possible to be supportive as they have always been,” he stated.
“It is a game model we are trying to develop for Asante Kotoko and it’s a blend of old and new guys. So I am appealing to them to be supportive as they have always and also trust the process.”
Karela United have bagged 5 points from their first four matches of the season – with an average record of one win, two draws and one defeat. They lost 2-0 to Medeama SC in a Match Day Four contest on Monday but that came after their opening day draw against Aduana FC at home.
They are expected to push for the points against leader Asante Kotoko despite their unconvincing start to the new season – winning one and drawing the other home match.
This fixture will be live on StarTimes Adepa channel 247 on Sunday, November 28, 2021, at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park at Aiyinase at 3:00 pm sharp.
