Former Chairman of the Asante Kotoko National Circles Council (NCC), Kwaku Amponsah, has expressed his disappointment with the team’s performance in the new Ghana Premier League season, where they have failed to secure a win in three games.
In a recent interview, the dedicated supporter of the Porcupine Warriors raised concerns about the player selection made by head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum. He criticized the decision to start inexperienced players from the lower division instead of Premier League players, emphasizing that it is detrimental to the team’s performance.
Amponsah stated, “In team building, you don’t bench a Premier League player and start inexperienced players from the lower division; this is not helping Kotoko.” He also expressed his belief that Asante Kotoko was fortunate to secure a point in their recent game against Karela United.
Furthermore, Amponsah urged Ogum to be more cautious and improve the team’s performance, as their current position on the league table is discouraging. He emphasized that the desire to rebuild the team should not serve as an excuse for not winning trophies.
Asante Kotoko has faced a challenging start to the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season, with one loss and two draws, and they will be hoping to secure their first win against Accra Lions in their upcoming fixture.
