Asante Kotoko legend, Malik Jabir has called on the fans to rally behind the team despite opening day setback against Heart of Lions.
The Porcupine Warriors kick started the 2023/24 season with a pulsating goalless draw against returnees Heart of Lions at the Baba Yara Stadium last Sunday.
Despite the setback, Malik Jabir has urged the fans not to withdraw their support for the team
“I beg the fans. This is the first game in the league. We shouldn’t pass judgement on the team now because it’s not the time to do that. Let’s wait after five matches, then we’ll see what is happening,” Jabir told Kessben Sports.
“…I beg them to come in their numbers than the first game. There is a spirit between them (the fans) and the players. When the players see more people coming to see them, it tells them a story; if he goes to the pitch what he should do.
“So, I am appealing that they should come more than the last game and let’s see what will happen next,” he added.
Asante Kotoko are away to Bibiani Goldstars for the matchday 2 of the Ghana Premier League.
