DR Congo based Ghanaian forward Solomon Asante has switched his attention to the CAF Confederation Cup after falling short at the last hurdle in their title defense.
Solomon Asante and his Ghanaian contingents won the 2015 CAF Champions League with TP Mazembe but crushed out of this year’s edition to WAC of Morocco in the final qualification to the group phase.
The former Berekum Chelsea slippery forward however switched attention to the Confederation Cup as a consolation trophy for their failed attempt at defending their crown.
Asante played an integral role for TP Mazembe en route to their continental crown but has so far failed to replicate the kind of performances that earned him royal treatment across the continent.
The disappointed attacking prodigy pledged to lead a crusade in the Confederation Cup to atone for their dreadful title defense.
“We couldn’t defend the CAF Champions League we won last year but we are bent on winning the Confederation Cup to atone for our failed title defense. Collectively we know what it means to win trophies and the Confederation Cup is our next target for now”, Solomon Asante told www.sportscrusader.com.
Asante watched from the bench as TP Mazembe booked their place in the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup with a 2-2 aggregate win over Stade Gabesiene of Tunisia.
Compatriots Daniel Nii Agyei and Yaw Frimpong featured for the struggling Congolese in the return leg as they confirmed their place in the money zone of the Confederation Cup on Tuesday.
