Dauda Not Targeting Golden Boot

Dauda Mohammed has attributed his conversion form to his determination and hard work but says winning the 2015/16 goal king is not his immediate priority.

The young marksman missed the opening two Premier League games, but returned to score in Kotoko’s 3-1 win over Liberty Professionals and against Dreams FC.

His scored a brace on Sunday as Kotoko walloped Cape Coast Ebusua Dwarfs 3-0 in Kumasi. He didn’t score against Hearts last week, but his incessant pressure on Hearts’ goalie Soulama Abdoulaye led to the Burkinabe national goalkeeper redirecting a clearance into his own net.

Asked where he was taking his inspiration from, Dauda Mohammed said he was determined to keep scoring for Kotoko and was working tirelessly to make that a reality. “It is all through determination and hard work”, he said.

“It was difficult for me at the beginning of the season because of injuries. Now I’m back and fully fit. I’m going to work hard to keep scoring. I will do my best to help and if in the end, I win the goal king award, then it’s good,” he added.

Dauda Mohammed has four goals this season and his scoring rate of an average of a goal per match. He is one of the form players this season and his ability to get to the chances, means he could score more.

Defeat to Kotoko Terrible - George Lamptey

The head coach of Liberty Professionals, George Lamptey described his side’s loss to Kotoko, as the worst in his career.

Latif Atta Blessing opened the scoring early on in the game, but goals from Ahmed Adams, Dauda Mohammed and Amos Frimpong were enough to sink the Scientific Soccer lads.

And Mr. Lamptey is unhappy, he could not hold on to his lead or earn a point against the wounded Porcupine Warriors.

“Today’s game was one of the worse games in my career, right from the referee’s whistle things didn’t go well,” he said in a post-match conference.

Mr. Lamptey lacked the adjectives to describe his feelings after the game.

“Disappointing. How can you surrender a 1-0 lead and lose 3-1?.Terrible!”
