Ibrahim Tanko has called on his players at Medeama SC to maintain their fighting spirit as the Ghana Premier League title race enters its decisive stage.
Medeama strengthened their championship push with a crucial 2-0 victory over second-placed Bibiani Gold Stars, a result Tanko described as both important and relieving with only four matches remaining in the season.
Speaking after the game, the Medeama boss acknowledged the significance of the win but insisted the focus must quickly shift to the remaining fixtures.
“When you beat an opponent who is behind you, it’s a relief. We are now four games to go, and we are ahead, so we are looking forward. We needed the three points today. We wanted to score more, but what was important was the three points,” he said.
Tanko admitted the final stretch of the season will be demanding but expressed confidence in his squad’s ability to rise to the occasion.
“The four remaining matches won’t be easy. We are going to prepare very well. We want to win the league, and so definitely we need to keep fighting,” he added.
Medeama now shift attention to their next important fixture against Berekum Chelsea on Wednesday, May 6, as they continue their pursuit of the league title.
