Ali Maradona advises Kotoko fans to prioritize addressing internal issues over social media attacks

Former Asante Kotoko management member and Chief Supporter, Alhaji Ali Maradona, has advised the club to prioritize addressing their internal issues instead of blaming others on social media.

Ali Maradona, speaking on Kessben FM’s Midfield Action, emphasized the importance of a united approach to tackle the challenges the club is facing, which he believes should be addressed internally.

Recently, some Asante Kotoko supporters have taken to social media to criticize referees, the media, and officials of the Ghana Football Association, accusing them of being biased against the club.

Ali Maradona urged the club to focus on its grassroots supporters, who are the ones that truly matter and attend the games, instead of social media users.

“Sometimes if you say something, some people will be on social media insulting and attacking you. Kotoko supporters we don’t know social media oh. The shoeshine guys, the people at the market are the ones who come and pay and watch Kotoko games, not Tiktok and the Facebook people”

“If you insult me on social media, I’m even happy. I don’t really care about those insults but that won’t add anything to Kotoko. It won’t help Kotoko”

He also highlighted the need to address internal issues such as the lack of participation of Kotoko Ladies and the decline in the attendance of the club’s circles’ meetings.

“Kotoko is huge. What has changed now? Do you now see Kotoko ladies? No. Do you now see AKOPA? No. Ask yourself why circles do not meet again. They don’t go to meetings because the leaders are not there. Let’s fix our home issues,” he said.
