Asante Kotoko coach Abdul Gazale has expressed disappointment in his team’s defence, citing the unfortunate goals they have conceded in recent games.
The Porcupine Warriors remain outside the top four and are eight points adrift of league leaders Aduana Stars after dropping points at home against Tamale City last weekend.
Gazale blamed goalkeeper Frederick Asare for the goal conceded in the draw against Tamale City, and ahead of the upcoming game against Bibiani Gold Stars, the coach has called for an improvement in the defensive department to avoid conceding avoidable goals.
“We have been picking the matches one after the other, and that match against Bibiani Gold Stars is one we also have to work on our finishing as well. We will not stop from the defensive orientation, and as far as air ball is concerned, we will continue to work on it to see how best we can manage up till the end of the season,” Gazale said on Peace FM.
“The way we are conceding those particular goals is unfortunate, and it keeps on happening. But the defenders and the goalkeeper have to talk to each other to see how best they can handle it. We have done a lot concerning that particular aspect.”
Kotoko will need to win all of their remaining games to have a chance of defending their title.
