The break of the Ghanaian league for the Championship of African Nations (CHAN) in Sudan has come as a good omen for Coach Bogdan Korak and his assistants.

To him, it is a good opportunity for the technical team to fix the loose ends of the team and also seek answers to the problems that militated against his team that resulted in the stagger run they encountered.

According to Korak, he has drawn a comprehensive programme and handed over to management for action and that he has carefully blended it for serious training and fun.

“For now, it is going to be intensive training here in Kumasi before the road show that has been planned would start”.

“My plan is to make the players enjoy the difficult training sessions we shall be having as such, we will train hard and also play matches along the way. The travels around the country will give the players a change of environment and they will enjoy it,” Korak told Kotoko Express.

Speaking on the programme as arranged for the club, the Operations Manager, Ernest Owusu Ansah, informed Kotoko Express that the team would be getting busy through out to get into a right shape before the re-start of the season.

“We have received the coaches requests and programme and we are living no stone unturned to ensure that he gives the team the right preparation to make up for the ones we could not do during the pre-season”.

“Besides making up for the lost period, the mid-season training and camping will also help the continuing and newly signed players the opportunity to blend and bond well for the benefit of the club”.

“Though we intend to have a road show, we will have it planned such that the travels around will not have a negative toll on the players. We are therefore going to restrict our selves to playing around Kumasi and on a few occasions travel into other regions”.

Per the programme as seen by Kotoko Express, the team will have intensive training sessions in Kumasi after Sunday’s FA Cup match against Danbort F.C and then travel to Asante Bekwai to play a local side, Bekwai Youth Academy on Wednesday 2^nd February 2011.

On the weekend after the Bekwai match, i.e.5^th February, Kotoko will host the Black Meteors in a friendly encounter at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

The training schedule will continue until Wednesday 9^th February 2011 when the team will travel to the Port city, Tema, to play Division One campaigners, Tema Youth in another friendly encounter at the Tema Park.

The team will then stay on in Tema after the match and play another Division Campaigner, Accra Great Olympics, in Accra before travelling back to base in Kumasi.

The Accra trip will end first round of the road show, as the team would be expected to take it easy on training before embarking on the second leg, which is yet to be confirmed and announced.
