Asante Kotoko legend, Wilberforce Mfum, has called for a revamp of the team, suggesting that the current players should be replaced with new ones.
In a candid statement, Mfum referred to the current players as “rust-to-die players” in the local parlance.
He urged the management to release all the current players and invest in new talent, acknowledging that acquiring new players would require financial support.
Mfum mentioned that Otumfuo, the traditional ruler and life patron of Asante Kotoko, had pledged to provide financial assistance to the club, giving hope for a fresh start.
Highlighting the importance of players’ individual skills and decision-making on the field, Mfum emphasized that coaching can only go so far, and it’s vital for players to apply their wisdom during matches.
He expressed his concern about the current generation of players, stating that many of them lack a sharp and effective mindset when presented with clear goal-scoring opportunities.
Despite his criticism, Mfum urged patience and faith in the team’s future, believing that Asante Kotoko can regain its former greatness with the right changes and dedication.
“Those who there are all rust-to-die players (Aweawufuo). They should let all of them go and sign new ones and if we want new ones, we have to get money. Otumfuo said he will give Kotoko money to start so we are looking upon him”
“Coaches will teach you but if you go on the field you have to apply your wisdom because on the pitch the coach will not be there with you”
“Today’s players, most of them do not have a working mind, they will get clear goalscoring opportunities “Me and you” and will miss them. Let’s just be patient with the boys, Kotoko will be great” Wilberforce Mfum said on Kessben TV.
