Kotoko Midfielder Is My Mentor - Quao

Kumasi Asante Kotoko centre-back, Evans Quao, has identified club mate and legend, Stephen ‘Tico Tico’ Oduro as his idol.

Oduro has spent his entire playing career with the Porcupine Warriors and has won premier league and FA Cup honours with the Kumasi-based side, and this longevity is what Quao is craving.

Veteran defender, Quao, joined Kotoko from Medeama SC in a two-year-deal during the 2015/16 transfer window and hopes to be given a new deal as the season comes to a close, with four games left to play.

“A senior and well-experienced player as Stephen Oduro is rare to have around in a team, and I am honoured to play with him.

“I wish to stay at Kotoko for a longer period just like he has. With the season still ongoing, I hope to be served a new deal as I have no idea leaving the club.”

Quao will hope to keep his place when Kotoko host Berekum Chelsea after holding relegation-threatened Sekondi Hasaacas to a one-all drawn match.

It Is Must For Us To Win Matches - Veteran Stephen Oduro

Kumasi Asante Kotoko legend, Stephen Oduro has told his colleagues that it is their responsibility to win matches in order to make their fans happy all the time.

The Porcupine Warriors has been passengers in this year’s Ghana Premier League, losing two and drawing two in four games.

As the norm in football is, the trend of poor results has put head coach David Duncan’s future on the line, and pressure is mounting on the team.

The record premier league champions match week five fixture against Sekondi Hasaacas has become the match the Porcupine Warriors must not lose in the competition they’ve been unparalleled in the last four seasons.

Though Stephen Oduro who is in his seventeenth season with the Kumasi-based club brushed off claims that they are under the pressure to win this evening, he has told his teammates it is their duty to win matches and put smiles on the faces of Porcupine faithfuls.

“We all have held meetings and we have resolved to put in our best,” the veteran midfielder said ahead of the game against Hasaacas later today.

“There is nothing like pressure we are footballers and we know very well that it’s our duty to play well and give back to our fans.” he said.
