Former Ghana Premier League cult hero, Charles Taylor, believes that Asante Kotoko is a bigger sporting brand than Ghana's senior national team - the Black Stars.
The former Asante Kotoko forward insisted that players of the club are more active than the Black stars because they play matches week-in-and-week-out.
Speaking on Angel TV, Taylor said: “I know that if we give the local players the chance, they will deliver for the country. A player like Justice Blay, if he cannot play for the Black Stars, then he is not fit to be an Asante Kotoko player. This is because Kotoko is bigger than Black Stars.
“Black Stars play matches periodically, but Kotoko play almost every weekend, so their players are fitter and better than the Black Stars players. How many of our Black Stars players start regularly at their clubs," he quizzed.
“People always bring up their inability to qualify for the CHAN, but there are some players in the CHAN team who can excel for the Black Stars. There should be competition in the team."
