Ashgold Training Strikers With Footage Of Messi And Ronaldo

Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Obuasi Ashantigold has revealed that the club is using video footage of world class forwards, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez to train their strikers.


The ‘Aboakese’ club has been impotent in front of goal this season with just four goals scored from five league matches played.


And the poor run of results adding up to poor scoring form in front of goal has seen the defending champions chances of retaining the league title slashed but Yawson mentioned that head coach, Bashiru Hayford is investing time into helping the strikers find their scoring boots.

Head coach of Medeama SC, Tom Strand has mentioned that he is confident his team will bounce back from their two successive defeats in the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League.
