Kotoko’s problem is goal-scoring and that’s a fact – Prosper Narteh Ogum

Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum claims that the team’s poor performance this season is due to a goal-scoring issue.

Despite having a wealth of skilled attackers on the squad, like Steven Mukwala Dese, Kalo Quattara, Georges Mfegue, and others, he claims that his team’s inability to score goals has been a major concern this season.

Prosper Narteh Ogum stated during a press conference on Wednesday, November 8, that while his squad creates many opportunities, finishing them in the goal has proven to be a challenge.

“Our problem is goal-scoring and that’s a fact. We even play better than our opponents, create chances but at the end of the day how to put the ball in the net has been the problem”, he said.

Coach Ogum believes should the goal-scoring problem be solved, Asante Kotoko will start accruing the needed results.

“We have to work on our goal-scoring and I know everything will be fine.”

Kotoko have recorded only two wins this season, losing two and drawing five after nine rounds of matches.

The Porcupines have dropped to the 14th position on the league log after losing 1:0 to Dreams FC at home last weekend, with teenage midfielder Abdul Aziz Issah scoring the only goal from a sublime free-kick.

The defeat to Dreams FC escalated the situation as Asante Kotoko fans booed the players and officials of the club as a way of expressing their dissatisfaction with the performance of the team.

Asante Kotoko’s next game is against FC Samartex at the dreaded Nsenkyire Sports Complex in Samreboi this weekend.
