We have a poor team - Asante Kotoko NCC Vice chairman, Obeng Sekyere

Published on: 08 May 2023

Obeng Sekyere, the 2nd NCC Vice chairman, has questioned the level of quality of players following their draw against Bibiani Gold Stars.

The Porcupine Warriors who are defending champions dropped two points in the matchday 30 game against Gold Stars at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Solomon Safo-Taylor scored a well-taken goal to put Kotoko in front after receiving a well-placed pass from one of his teammates.

In the match's closing stages, Gold Stars' efforts finally paid off when former Hearts of Oak striker Abednego Tetteh scored an equaliser in stoppage time.

The stalemate now leave the Reds at the 6th position on the league log with 44 points.

And Obeng Sekyere beleives the current playing body does have not have quality to win games.

"The problem is that our player's attitudes are poor and on the day they seem not to be committed," he told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.

"Clearly, supporters will not be happy should we continue playing like this. Such performances turn more supporters away.

"The quality of our team is low, supporters want to see quality players and I will advise that we must pay critical attention to our recruitment process in the coming season. Anything apart from that will drive more supporters away from attending our matches.

He continued, "When you are in the stands, you hear the fans voicing out their frustrations that the boys are not good enough to wear the Kotoko jersey. The lack of results confirms their assertion.

"Gone are the days when you see certain players taking responsibility and driving the team forward but in this team you can't find one. We should strengthen the quality of our team especially our midfield and the defense in the coming season," he added.

Asante Kotoko will be hosted by Kotoku Royals in the matchday 31 games at the Theatre of Dreams at Dawu on Sunday.
