Football pundits termed it ‘an upset’, Anthony Commey said is ‘nothing special’, which ever opinion you hold of New Edubiase United’s victory in Kumasi, Kotoko left the Baba Yara Sports Stadium with zero points.
Having miraculously found the impetus required of a champion to be after the Duncan step aside brouhaha, the result brought to an end a three game winning streak of the Porcupines under Michael Osei and also dampen Kotoko spirits ahead of their Super Two clash against Hearts of Oak next week.
Anthony Commey showed Michael that ‘once your boss, always your boss.’
Four things we learned from the game.
Hello Ahmed Adams, you’re not a Nesta.
If there was any defender in the world who would choose to sit on the ball and cover up for himself, it was Alessandro Nesta.
He is widely considered to be one of the best centre backs of his time and also as one of the greatest defenders ever, he is best known for his artistic tackles, elegance on the ball, distribution, and tight marking of opponents.
Ahmed Adams, is getting swollen headed due to his consistency in the line up week in and out. He must desist from that attitude for the betterment of the team.
Michael Osei schooled by his boss.
Michael Osei understudied Anthony Commey for a year at New Edubiase United, but he failed to learn from his boss. From the early minutes of the game, New Edubiase United’s intent in the game was understandable by even a layman in the game of football.
They receded possession and were more interested in preventing Kotoko from stringing, but Michael Osei kept on playing to their style instead of tweaking his.
New Edubiase United will beat relegation drop.
New Edubiase United have started the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League (GPL), season poorly, and were involved in a relegation dogfight prior to their Match-Day Nine game against Asante Kotoko.
Their performance against a ‘so called’ rejuvenated Porcupine Warriors was at par with almost all the best performing sides this season and if they are consistent with that output, relegation will not sniff around them come the dying embers from the season.
The Kotoko players never looked like a team recovering from lack of confidence. Dauda Mohammed, notably, was presented with some glorious chances to draw parity, but missed those opportunities.
Anthony Commey’s side displayed a well-composed game plan against a very nervous-looking Kotoko side and repelled all attacks by the Kumasi side.
