Ugandan forward, George Abege has punched holes in Kumasi Asante Kotoko while indicating that the club needs to stop boasting with past glory and get the right things done for the future.
The lanky striker joined the Porcupine Warriors club from Kenyan outfit Kariobangi Sharks last year to help the team in their continental campaign.
After a difficult spell where he failed to score a single goal in a competitive game, George Abege’s contract was terminated earlier this year.
Speaking to Kumasi-based Wontumi Radio, the Ugandan has indicated that Kotoko looks big on the outside but not so much in the inside when you get closer.
“Not really Kotoko is a big club, there are some loopholes in Kotoko but from outside if you look at it you can admire a lot but once you go deep inside the club, you will find out that there’s a lot of loopholes,
“Why am I saying this, because they need to invest a lot in youth football right now, if you look at their U20, they’re only a few people, U17 never existed when I was there and they don’t give enough time to for those youth to have the courage to carry on and believe that after one, two, three seasons I will be able to deliver in Kotoko”, George Abege said.
The striker continued, “Football is not spoken, football is played on the pitch and not at the office nor the roadside so whatever you do on the pitch will determine whether what you’re doing was right from outside or not because what they display on the pitch shows that Kotoko is not big enough,
“BUT in terms of facilities I think it’s good, they have a bus and somehow organized club, they’ve got training pitch but the training pitch lacks a lot so there’s a lot of things this team need to do to be called a big team because I was there and saw it SO for it to be at pal with the so-called big teams in Africa, there are a lot to be done on the ground before they come on the pitch,
“I always wish Asante Kotoko the best but I also wish they could do something about that because it’s not good for a club to always boost itself with their past history than to look at the future.”
