Ernest Boateng, a former Asante Kotoko player, has expressed his concerns about the team’s performance in the current Ghana Premier League season, highlighting a lack of on-field leadership.
The team has struggled, securing only ten points from nine games and currently holds the 14th position in the league standings.
Boateng emphasized the importance of having a player who can guide and influence teammates during matches, adding that the current Kotoko squad lacks such leadership on the pitch.
“There is no leader in the team. In every team, besides the coach and captain there is always a player who controls the boys on the pitch. When we met Frimpong Manso and Ampiah checked on us to ensure that we created problems for our opponents”
“Not everything will be done by the coach. They are just playing with no leadership on the pitch.” He said.
As they prepare to face Samartex in the upcoming week 10 fixture, addressing this leadership gap could be crucial for the team’s improvement.
