CAFCC: Asante Kotoko Must Be Ready For Kwara United – Assistant Coach

Sampson Adedeji

Asante Kotoko assistant coach, Prince Owusu, has stressed the need for his team to be fully prepared ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup clash with Kwara United of Nigeria, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Porcupine Warriors endured a disappointing outing at the just-concluded GHALCA Top 4 competition, where they lost all three matches against Gold Stars, Heart of Lions, and rivals Hearts of Oak at the Legon Sports Stadium.

Their poor run was a stark contrast to last season’s remarkable campaign, which saw them lift the FA Cup, the President’s Cup, and the Toyota Cup.

Speaking after the Top 4, Owusu admitted that although the results were disappointing, the focus now is on bouncing back stronger.

“It’s rather unfortunate; we came here to win but this is how it ended. The boys did what they could, but we need to do more to get them back on track,” Owusu said.

“We lost all three games, and we know Kotoko fans will not take that lightly. We have to work harder to correct our mistakes. It’s not just about this tournament but about getting the boys ready for the Confederation Cup and the league. This is a wake-up call for us.”

The Ghanaian giants, record holders of the Ghana Premier League, will represent the country in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup, starting with a preliminary round tie against Nigeria’s Kwara United.
