Medeama SC head coach Samuel Boadu is unperturbed by the points deduction and is confident his outfit will still win the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League title.
The Tarkwa-based side were docked six points earlier this week by the Ghana Football Association’s Disciplinary Committee for fielding an unqualified player in a league match against Great Olympics.
The point deduction has seen the former MTN FA Cup winner drop from the top of the league standings as well as a reduction of their total points from 30 to 24.
The Yellow and Mauve lads now trail league leaders Aduana Stars by 4 points and however, according to coach Samuel Boadu, this will serve as a motivation for his side to finish the season strongly and win the coveted trophy.
"Not at all, What I will say is, its also a motivation to us, it will also help us to work extra hard” he told TV3’s GPL Express host Juliet Bawuah.
"Now we have seen that we have lost some points…that doesn’t dump our spirits, we are going to work extra to regain our position.
He added, "And I believe that this year’s league Medeama SC will be crowned the champions."
"I have done my calculations and I have seen that when we deduct six points from our points, we will come to 24, and the one who’ll be at the top now is 28….so with just 4 points interval between Medeama and the first…this is not a big deal, those teams they will come to Tarkwa and we are going to score (sic) them and we also work hard to win the away matches to compensate for the point deduction…he concluded.
Meanwhile, Medeama SC have joined a host of other clubs to break camp following the suspension of the league due to the outbreak of coronavirus, however they are due to return on Wednesday March 25.
