In spite of that, he has entreated the team not to underrate their opponent whenever they are playing and also maintain their standards.

He added that the team must not play minors to any team if they really wants to attain greater height.

“Even at a point, the team was not performing the fear factor in the industry was still there. People think the club was born to be champions and this has made other clubs uplift their game when playing Kotoko”

“Due to the club’s brand, other teams try to do ways and means in order to beat Kotoko and so these are some of the things that causes Kotoko’s struggle in matches”

“As champions, when care is not taken you will take things for granted. This day’s all the clubs have improved and so when you underrate them you will get shocked. I will entreat you to maintain your standards”
