Asante Kotoko coach Steve Polack says he is committed to solving the current attacking problems facing his team.
Kotoko scored a paltry 23 Premier League goals last season, and going into the new season where they will participate in the CAF Confederations Cup as well as the domestic competitions coach Polack is keen on getting his players to score more.
“We played some good football but decision making has to be a bit better in the last third”, acknowledged the Kotoko coach at the post-match conference. “We have to work on that before we play the big games because every game is a big game in the Confederations Cup. We would get it right and as I always say, if you don’t make mistakes, you don’t learn”.
Kotoko’s semi-final qualification chances went bleak after their 1-0 defeat to Dreams FC with a team flooded with new arrivals and trial players on day-two of the competition.
Polack injected more quality in his set-up on Sunday and a scintillating defence and midfield showpiece helped them to a 2-0 win and progression despite the not-too-impressive performance in attack.
“There was a lot of improvement in the game. It was an improvement on a lot of the things that we needed to improve on. I am happy with the result and the attitude of the players was good”.
“I was happy with the performance especially in defence. You need to be committed, have the passion and desire in every game you go into. That is what my players would always have in whatever game they play whether a friendly game, a tournament or CAF game”.
