Despite finishing last in the Ghana Premier League (GPL), Kotoku Royals’ public relations officer, Okatakyie Afrifa, thinks the team will beat Asante Kotoko this weekend.
Kotoko are the overwhelming favorites to win the match on January 29 at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, but Afrifa is optimistic that his team can pick up their third victory of the year.
“Kotoku Royals have maximum respect for Asante Kotoko, we know them as our senior brothers,” he a Kumasi-based FM station.
“But Kotoku Royals are coming all out. Looking at the standings now, we can’t afford to lose this particular game, so we are doing everything possible to come to Kumasi on Sunday to pick all the maximum three points against Asante Kotoko,” he stated.
Additionally, he asserted that his squad cannot upset Kotoko, who are now third in the league standings, which gave him confidence that they will win.
“We have seen Kotoko play and we have a lot of videos of them and we have realized that they don’t have any quality in the game.
“The only thing is that the name Kotoko is popular everywhere but when it comes to the quality of the players, we Kotoku Royals also have the same players.
“We believe that Kotoko is a beatable side and we have all the confidence that we can beat them on Sunday,” he concluded.
