Former Asante Kotoko striker, Franck Mbella Etouga, has issued a heartfelt plea to the club’s supporters, urging them not to abandon the team during these challenging times.
As the Porcupine Warriors grapple with a string of disappointing results, including six defeats in their last seven league matches, tensions have escalated among fans, with some calling for the dismissal of head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum.
However, Etouga, currently on loan at El Gouna from Al Masry, has implored supporters to maintain their unwavering support for the club. Despite being away from the team, Etouga remains closely connected and follows their progress each week.
“I have been monitoring what is happening in Kotoko, even though I am not there, but I still follow the club every week when they play,” Etouga affirmed, emphasizing his continued interest in the team’s fortunes.
Acknowledging the difficulties Kotoko currently faces, Etouga stressed the importance of unity and collective effort in overcoming challenges. “I want to encourage my former teammates to take responsibility and make things better,” he expressed, highlighting the need for solidarity within the club.
While acknowledging the current adversity, Etouga remained optimistic about Kotoko’s future, emphasizing that setbacks are part of the game. He urged fans to remain calm and steadfast in their support, emphasizing the club’s resilience.
“The situation now normally happens because this is football. And sometimes it can be good, but now is a bad time,” Etouga reflected. “I just want all the supporters to stay calm, and I beg them not to neglect the team because this team is one of the best in Africa, and it will never, ever go down.”
Etouga’s impassioned plea comes as a reminder of the enduring bond between the club and its supporters, urging unity and solidarity as Kotoko navigates through a challenging period.
