Asante Kotoko captain Ibrahim Danlad has expressed concerns about the club’s awful performance in the second round of the season.
The Porcupine Warriors have managed just one win, a draw and seven defeats in nine games, which called for a crisis meeting with the Life Patron of the Club, His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The skipper, speaking on the club’s Youtube page, conceded that their performance has been terrible and demands an apology to their fans.
“We would first like to apologize to our supporters because we know they don’t deserve this kind of result and the things that are happening in the team,” he said.
“However, we want to assure them that we will do whatever it takes to turn it around.”
Reflecting on their run of poor results, the skipper described it as a very bad one and one which is unacceptable considering what they want to achieve with the club.
“It’s very, very bad because a lot of us can’t even sleep and taking into context what we want to do for Asante Kotoko and our careers, this result doesn’t speak well of us, the playing body. But we know it’s part of the job and the only thing we have to do to change things around now, is to work hard and stay focused. Other than that, it could be worse.”
Despite the Porcupines’ worst run in history, Danlad is confident of victory over Samartex FC on Sunday, when the two sides lace up for Sunday’s crucial encounter with the Timber lads who are also aiming to clinch their first Premier League trophy.
“This is the time we need our supporters and I do feel the pain of them and that of the King because I am also a supporter, but in these moments, patience is key, and I know we don’t have any excuses on Sunday and I believe we are going to win. I believe that 100%.”
