Medeama SC Head Coach Samuel Boadu still believes that Medeama will clinch the Ghana Premier League trophy despite losing six points recently.
The Mauves and Yellows were punished by the Disciplinary Committee of the GFA this week for fielding an unqualified player in a league match against Great Olympics on matchday 12.
This led to a drop in points for the Tarkwa-based side from 30 to 24 but the coach still believes that they will make an impact.
“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 continued.
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."
The Ghana Premier League is currently suspended for the next 4 weeks following a directive from government over fears of coronavirus spread.
Medeama SC have decided to break camp for a week as a result. The team expected to be back on Wednesday March 25.
