Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has reacted after his defender Henry Ansu received the marching order in their game against Nsoatreman FC on Thursday.
Ogum's side struggled even more when they were reduced to 10 men just before half-time. Defender Henry Ansu received his second yellow card and was sent off early, leaving Nsoatreman in control in front of their home fans.
Nsoatreman FC inflicted a 1-0 win over the Porcupine Warriors at the Nana Koramansah Park in the week 8 of the Ghana Premier League.
Stephen Diyou’s strike was enough for the home team to secure maximum points on home turf.
Nsoatreman now lead the league table, with a one-point advantage over second-placed Aduana FC and a game in hand.
“In football, when an incident happen, players have the right to complain and remember players also play within the laws of the game. The laws are for the players, referees and for everybody (Coaches, Fans and others)”
So if you want to enjoy the game you have to understand the laws of the game. If something happens in the course of a game and a player who has been educated on the laws of the game complain about it and he doesn’t attack you but he only comes to complain and you see it that he doesn’t have the right to complain and you pour your anger on him and give him a red card, it’s up to you. There is no indiscipline in my team, they are very disciplined players” he said.
The defeat leaves Kotoko six points behind the league leaders, having collected only 10 points from eight games
Kotoko will host Dreams FC in the matchday 9 of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.
