Medeama SC coach Augustine Evans Adotey believes his squad will carry over their form from last season’s Ghana Premier League triumph into their next CAF Champions League campaign.
The Tarkwa-based team embarked on a great run and ended up leapfrogging Aduana Stars to win their maiden league title and ending a 46-year drought for the Western Region. In their last seven matches, Medeama only lost once and drew their penultimate game while ending their campaign with a resounding victory over Tamale City.
Due to their victory in the league, the Yellow and Mauves gained the license to represent Ghana in the CAF Champions League and have since been preparing for the competition.
They have now been billed to play Nigerian side Remo Stars in the first round of the competition and Adotey believes his team has what it takes to emerge victorious in the two-legged affair.
According to the experienced coach, their form from last season is what they expect to replicate in the matchup against their opponents.
“The technical team, playing body, and management were all looking forward to the draw and it has finally been revealed which is good. We are preparing for the first leg which will be played in Ghana. It doesn’t matter where the first match will be played. It is going to be tough but preparation is what matters now,” he told Peace FM.
“So many factors will count in the preparations including our consistency. In the latter part of last season, our lineup was consistent which reflected in our results both on home grounds and on that road so we are expecting exactly that.”
Medeama SC will be making their third appearance in CAF inter-club competitions after playing in the Confederations Cup in 2014 and 2016.
