Decision to play in Africa best for Asante Kotoko – Michael Osei ‘Ember Power’

Former Asante Kotoko attacker, Michael Osei ‘Ember Power’ has stated that the club should not reject the opportunity to play in Africa next season as suggested by many.

There have been several opinions on whether the Porcupine Warriors should represent Ghana in the 2020-21 CAF Champions League. While a few believe that they should not participate in it, others are of the view that it is the right decision to play.

And, Michael Osei who was a member of the team that played in the 2002 Africa Winners Cup finals against Wydad Club insists it is prudent for Kotoko to grab the opportunity.

According to him, it will give most of the players the needed experience.

“It’s good to play in Africa to help us correct our mistakes in the following year. If you don’t play how would most of the players get the Africa experience. Those playing in Africa will be gaining the experience as and when we participate, ” he told Hello FM.

“You are waiting to play league games to prepare because we might waste money but we should note that until we play we will not get the needed experience.

“We suffered several eliminations during Herbert Mensah’s time but when the time was due we progressed to play in the final.

“So they should accept the challenge and play in order for the players to get the experience.”
