Asante Kotoko head coach Maxwell Konadu has revealed that the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season is very competitive and better than the previous seasons.

Currently, five teams including Aduana Stars, Medeama SC, Ashanti Gold SC, Asante Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea are all tied on 17 points after nine round of matches played, only three points adrift 6th placed WAFA.

The former Black Stars deputy coach believes the competitiveness level of the league currently makes it better than the previous seasons.

"Oh, the competitiveness is very strong. I think every club is hungry to win the league because the league has been suspended for so many months," Konadu told Sir Martin on Ghana Sports Page 1 in China.

"Our match against Ashgold on Sunday is going to be cool but the only difference is we will be playing without our supporters which is very bad.

"In fact, this ban has really affected my team’s performance. We thank God that, after Sunday we will be getting our supporters back," he added.

Asante Kotoko will welcome their regional rivals Ashanti Gold SC to the Baba Yara stadium on Sunday in match week 10 of the Ghana Premier League.
