The Porcupine Warriors boss insists he was not overly excited with his players performance despite ending their winless streak
Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Ogum Narteh insists he was not happy with his side’s performance despite their 2-1 victory over Legon Cities at the Theater of Dreams in Dawu on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors, prior to the match, were without a win in three games but two goals from Cameroonian striker Etuoga Mbella Frank Thierry gave Kotoko the needed three points to push them to second position.
However, Ogum believes they could have done better especially how the strikers fluffed several chances that came their way.
“We had several chances after scoring the first goal which we could’ve made it game over but we squandered all of them,” Ogum said after the game as quoted by AshesGyamera.com.
“I’m going to talk to them about that situation. Sometimes you get the chances, you need to score again and make it game over so that you can relax and play your game.
“I’m not happy about the way we played especially after we conceded but before we conceded I think we were solid. We were marking, we were tackling and we were passing the ball well but because of the nature of the goal, we just went off.
“I think when he got the ball, it was a 1v1 situation and he was closer to my technical area so I encouraged him to go in with the ball which he did and gave the cross and Mbella just connected.
“It is something that we’ve been doing at training. We do it a lot so I’m happy something we did a training has paid off as we were able to get a goal out of it,” he added.
Kotoko sit second on the log with 17 points, three points behind Aduana Stars and they have one game in hand against Hearts of Oak.
