Ex-Asante Kotoko player Jordan Opoku has urged players of the club to disabuse their minds from the fact that people are working against them that's is why they are not winning.
He said players must take this off their minds and begin to work hard in training to achieve results.
Many people including Chief Executive Officer of the club, Nana Yaw Amponsah, have openly claimed referees are working agains the club on the instructions of some people.
However, the 39-year-old former midfielder of the club does not agree with them.
"The players must disabuse their minds about the fact that somebody or some people are against them and start to be serious with their training," he told Akoma FM.
He continued: "The players of Kotoko must show seriousness if they want to achieve anything at Kotoko and not necessarily wait for the coach's instructions.
"Yes, the coach will do his work but the job lies with the players. If not, we will always continue to apportion blame on this and that. The current players at Kotoko do not want to learn, if you don't do that, there's no way the results will change."
