Asante Kotoko’s Operations Manager, Ernest Owusu Ansah, has observed that the level of competition currently in the team can only bring good results if the players continue to work hard during training sessions and also fight for regular positions in the team.

He said the infusion of new players at the beginning of the second round of the Glo Premier League brought a significant level of change in the team’s general performance, adding that the series of friendly matches lined up in the coming weeks would definitely put the players in  the right shape.

Ernest Owusu Ansah explained that there was the urgent need for management to recruit new players at the time the fortunes of the club took a sharp decline, arguing that the player reinforcement coupled with the hard work of both the technical team and management could be cited for the positive change that is gradually emerging.

“There is competition in the team at the moment. We can also put it down to the infusion of new players. Besides that everybody is working hard to get a regular place in the team”.

The Operations Manager also had something to say on the amount of technical work done by Coach Bogdan Korak and his assistants.

“The endurance training has impacted positively on our performance. If you have observed, the team plays quite well and does not lose concentration in the second half like they were doing previously”.

He further stated that the two-week camping embarked upon at the time the league is on recess  could as well not be discounted. He pointed out that the camping contributed immensely to the steady and positive change being seen.
