Interim Asante Kotoko coach Hamza Obeng has analysed how his team lost to Berekum Chelsea in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.
In his post-match interview after the 2-1 defeat, Obeng raised concerns about finishing, adding that his team’s tactical setup was also problematic in key parts of the contest.
“Well, I would say in the latter part of the game we couldn't get our game plan right. There was a moment when we decided to go direct, where our strength was to build up patiently from behind, and we could see we were doing it right; later on, we switched to direct play, but we didn't have the strength to win second balls.
“We saw a moment whereby there was a lot of distance between the attackers and the midfielders that created a hole between the attackers and the midfielders. It's part of the game, and it's something that we need to work on to overcome it,” the Kotoko assistant coach said.
Following the defeat to Berekum Chelsea, Asante Kotoko now sit 10th in the Ghana Premier League standings.
In the next round of matches, they will host Bibiani Gold Stars.
