Prosper Narteh Ogum, the head coach of Asante Kotoko, was disappointed on Sunday afternoon after his team fell 2-1 to Real Tamale United (RTU) in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) .
From the dugout, the Asante Kotoko manager watched as his players failed to impress, allowing the home club to take all three points in today’s match, which served as the league’s matchday 25.
After the game, the Asante Kotoko coach complained to StarTimes about his players’ failure to follow orders.
He said, “I think they [players] lost their focus on the field. Most of the things that they were doing especially with the ball were not the things that they were supposed to do. They were too individualistic on the field; most of the players didn’t play as a unit and as a unit, and I think that actually affected us.”
Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum added, “If you look at the penalty we conceded it was not necessary, the tackle from Asmah was not necessary, and if you look at the way Danlad also came out, it was not necessary because [Samuel] Appiah was with him, so once you had the defender with an attacker yours was to keep your line of movement in line with the ball so that if he misses you can react, and if he gets the ball and he takes the shot at goal you would be able to save it.”
Despite the loss today, Asante Kotoko still leads the Ghana Premier League standings by eight points.
