Wa All Stars’ stalwart midfielder, Saddick Alhassan has played down any imagined title charge from his side despite their convincing win over Techiman City FC.

The player enjoyed his best game in the colours of the club as they tamed TCFC by two unanswered goals to maintain their second place spot on the log.

The former Dreams FC and Kumasi Asante Kotoko midfielder, however, took the pressure off his teammates ahead of the title run-in.

The versatile midfielder redirected the media lenses away from his club, assuring fans of consistent performances.

“We are not bent on winning the Ghana Premier League by all means.

”We will do our part and hope to be in the race in the last few matches.

”If we have the chance to battle for the trophy in the last five games, we will not hesitate to pounce on it.

“All we need is to be consistent and enjoy our football on a weekly basis," Saddick Alhassan told sports crusader.

Wa All Stars maintained their second slot in the league standing thanks to an own-goal from Isaac Baah and a screamer from Paul Asare.

The Wa-based side will next host Medeama SC at the Wa Park before heading to Accra for the Inter Allies game.
