Free Meals for
Kotoko players
By: Jerome Otchere, Kumasi
Asante Kotoko players are now
given food after training sessions free of charge.
From Monday to Wednesday they are
given breakfast whereas they take dinner on Thursdays and
Fridays.
The new development according to
the Public Affairs Manager, Jarvis Peprah is part of
management’s welfare policies aimed at motivating the playing
body.
Speaking to Kotoko Express in an
interview last week, the Public Affairs Manager disclosed that
this welfare policy would be sustained as long as the finances
of the club permit.
“We intend to maintain it as much
as our finances would make it possible. The players like it. So
we will do our best to keep it on-going” said Jarvis Peprah.
The new Team Manager, George Asare
also lauded the idea and said it is a positive development. He
opined that besides indicating how well management cares about
the players’ well-being.
“It’s a very good idea. Sometimes
immediately after training, you feel like eating to replenish
the energy lost. So the food we provide comes in handy”.
“The players feel good about it.
It will help in reducing the amount of money they spend on food.
They like it and we are happy about the whole thing” added the
Team Manager.
Goalkeeper Isaac Amoako – a
notable member of the playing body could also not hide his
excitement over the latest development.
“It’s a very good thing” said the
goaltender. “In a way it boosts our morale. Sometimes when you
return home after training you do not even get enough time to
eat. There’s the temptation to sleep because of tiredness. So
this food service is great! You eat immediately after training,
wash down and rest for the next training session” said Amoako.
