Playing without our fans is affecting Asante Kotoko - Maxwell Konadu

Published on: 03 February 2020

Asante Kotoko head coach Maxwell Konadu says playing without the supporters has affected his side following their 1-1 stalemate with Liberty Professionals on match day seven of the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

Liberty opened the scoring through Tamimu Muntari in the second half, but the Porcupine Warriors equalised in the dying embers of the game.

The Reds capitalised on a mistake between goalkeeper Ganiwu Shaibu and his defender to restore parity for the home side.

Speaking after game, the 47-year-old admitted his side is struggling without the support of their fans at the Baba Yara stadium.

"To be honest playing without our fans is affecting us. That is the reason we play better in away games than when we are playing at home," the former Black Stars deputy coach said.

"The players feel motivated whenever they see the fans cheering them up. Though we also have to do our best but sometimes it’s not enough. We will need the fans to cheer us."

"There are a lot of factors we can’t mention them here. But it’s true we missed some players due to injuries and some other matters. We are hoping they will be ready for our game on Wednesday."
