AshantiGold coach Bashiru Hayford has talked the favourite tag and win-at-all cost suggestion from football pundits and some fans going into the annual curtain-raiser for the upcoming 2015/16 Ghana premier league season.
Ashantigold, First Capital Plus Bank Premier League winners last season will lock horns with FA Cup winners, Medeama SC at the Accra Sports Stadium in the season-opening encounter.
The 2014/15 Ghana premier league champions will need this game as the Obuasi based prepare for a return to CAF champions competition against Algerian side, Mo Bejaia on February, 14 after been absent for over a decade.
Head coach of Ashgold, Bashiru Hayford says his target for the game (super clash) is for his charges to display good performance on the day ahead of their CAF Champions League,
The former Kumasi Asante Kotoko said, “we are not under any form of pressure all that we need is the performance on the day not even a win.”
He added, “it doesn’t mean should we play better (against Medeama SC) we won’t win but a victory will encourage and motivate both players, technical team and the supporters going into the game against Bejaia.
The two sides will represent Ghana in upcoming CAF inter-club football competitions – the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup, and the game could serve as an opportunity for both technical benches to have a close look at their teams as they head into Africa.
