Asante Kotoko’s league campaign had a difficult start, as noted by Kwesi Appiah, a member of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the club.
Appiah, a former national team coach, spoke openly about the team’s performance in the early stages of the league. “As we all saw from the middle part of the first round getting to the end, the team was performing very well because they have now gotten to know themselves very well,” he said.
“In actual fact, because we lost, all I can say is we didn’t start on a good note, but we will learn from our mistakes and put away complacency and make sure the second round we go in all out,” Appiah continued.
Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Appiah refrained from making bold promises but expressed the team’s determination to improve. “I will not say we will win the cup, but we will try to win. If we win, fine. If we don’t win, as Otumfuo said, we should all go out there whether we win; it is a plus. If we don’t, he thinks that we are building the team towards the near future,” he stated.
