Speaking to sportscrusader on the current state of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Ben Acheampong revealed having sleepless nights with the current form of his darling club.

“The players need to develop a tough mind to overcome the poor run of results at the start of the league.

“We are talking of Kumasi Asante Kotoko here, where even wins cannot guarantee you safety in the side.

“I am confident the boys will bounce back but they need to do it very fast, possibly at home to Sekondi Hasaacas.

“The Kotoko family will have to develop some patience and continue to support the boys if they are to arres that poor start to the season”, Acheampong told sports crusader exclusively.

The prolific forward then admitted having sleepless night anytime he monitors the Ghanaian domestic top flight.

The league is still wide open and I believe we can still come back to make a real chase for the league”, Acheampong concluded.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko remains winless after four matches into the 2016 GPL but could get their season back on track with a convincing victory at home to Sekondi Hasaacas on Friday night at the Baba Yara sports stadium.
