Kotoko supporters yesterday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium gave Jana Rosenstein, a warm welcome when they spotted her on the team’s bench in the friendly match against Bechem United.
Jana, a German physiotherapist, who is at the club for a volunteer work until November, was part of Kotoko’s medical team for the game. When the medics were called for the first time in the match by the referee to attend to a situation, Jana ran onto the pitch with Dr. Kwaku Boateng to hefty cheers and applause by the fans.
The home fans were apparently wooed by the young lady’s sprints on the pitch, which they applauded anytime the medical team took to the field. Kotoko drew 1-1 with the Bechem lads and some of fans shared their views on the game with Asantekotokosc.com.
“It was a nice match because Kotoko played well. I saw a lot of decent passes, movements and organization. The fact the team the coach paraded wasn’t the first team gives me a lot of joy” said Michael Owusu from Asokwa.
“Bechem United surprised me. They were good. I kept asking myself how they are at the bottom ranks of the league table if this how they have been playing” wondered Kwame Opoku another devout fan.
Coach David Duncan fielded players who have not been active lately and for him, the exercise went well. He told Asantekotokosc.com that, the team would leave nothing to chance as they begin preparation on Monday for the August 30 MTN FA Cup final against Medeama in Sekondi.
