Former Ghana international Edward Agyemang Duah has accused both Kotoko and Hearts of Oak players of being lazy.
Kotoko and Hearts of Oak have struggled to make a meaningful impact in both CAF Champions League and Confederations in recent times.
In an interview with Winneba-based NycE FM, the former Ghana defender attributed Kotoko and Hearts of Oak’s unimpressive performance in Africa to the presence of lazy players at their folds.
“Current players of both Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are not serious. During our time, there was a lot of competition, players were committed, disciplined and united. Above all, we were serious and trained harder which yielded results”
“Truth be told, the players at the moment are lazy and that is why they are unable to perform in Africa” he said.
Generally, Ghanaian clubs have underperformed in the Africa inter-club competition, with Kotoko being the last club to reach the money zone of the CAF Confederations Cup in 2019.
The 49-year-old had stints with the two most glamourous clubs in the country before retirement.
He was part of the Black Stars squad that represented Ghana as both 1994 and 1998 Africa Cup of Nations.
