Against the backdrop of the last two gripping matches Kotoko has played at the Golden City Park and the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Michael Mensah and David Ofei have encouraged Kotoko fans not to shirk their responsibility of galvanising more support for the team.

According to the two players, supporters of the club has a duty to rally behind the team both in difficult and rosy times since that was one way through which the players would feel motivated.

The two players who have enjoyed league action this season made this known in an interview last week. “We are committed to the team; we want to do our best. And we expect our supporters to do the same” said David Ofei who started the two league games against Berekum Arsenal and Mighty Jets at the Golden City and Baba Yara Sports Stadium respectively.

While maintaining that the supporters have a crucial role to perform, Michael Mensah who started his first league match in Kumasi on Wednesday also touched on his performance.

“The going was okay. I played to instructions; I tackled but did not receive the passes well.

So I switched off; the coach pushed me to the middle and things changed” said Mensah.
