Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC coach, Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum has urged the supporters of the club to keep believing in the team despite poor results in recent matches.
Kotoko loss two consecutive matches for the first time in the 2021-22 Ghana Premier League season after their home defeat to the Royals at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday afternoon.
However, the coach has asked the fans to keep believing in the team despite the defeats to Real Tamale United FC and Legon Cities FC in their last two matches.
“It [defeats] shouldn’t take away the beliefs in their hearts,” the gaffer said after Sunday’s loss to the Royals.
“They should still believe in the team – I mean you look at the way the team has played up to this level, it’s not because of this defeat that they have to stay away from the team. It’s rather at this crucial time that we need them the most. We need them to be around the team to encourage us to bounce back.
“That is the most important thing. If you show signs of disbelief in the team, if you stay away from the team, you say things that are unpleasant about the players and the team, that will rather not be good for the team.
“So I will plead with them to get closer to the team, support the team, encourage the team and make sure that we can always feel in our hearts and in our minds that we have them behind us,” he added.
