Asante Kotoko technical handler, Bogdan Korak has admonished his players not to be discouraged by the fact that they lost 0-1 away to league leaders Berekum Chelsea in last Sunday’s Glo Premier League fixture at the Golden City Park.

Emmanuel Clottey’s 27th minute strike on target gave Berekum Chelsea a deserved lone goal victory in the match that many had thought that the Porcupines could win to make a good statement in their bid to climb the ladder of the Glo Premier League.

Though the Porcupines fought quite well to redeem their image, the grip of Berekum Chelsea was too firm to be loosened.

Addressing his players on the team bus just before they left the Golden City Park for their camping base in Kumasi, the Serbian trainer observed that the defeat was painful but then the players needed to focus on the remaining matches especially the upcoming game against B. A. Stars on Wednesday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

“You do not have to be let down by the loss. We have more matches to play. We have to focus on those ones, learn from our mistakes and train well” Bogdan Korak through his interpreter.

The coach and the team would have to work hard enough to make amends not only against B. A. Stars but also in all subsequent matches and thus charged the players to be ready for a little more hard work.
