Following the superb performance of Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Mohammed Camara in their 1-0 win over Karela United in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday, the head coach of the club Prosper Ogum has heaped praise on him.
Ogum has honored Camara, who stepped in for first-choice goalkeeper Frederick Asare, pulling off an impressive performance as the Porcupine Warriors secured the three points in their opening fixture away at Karela United.
In his post-match interview, Ogum stated his belief in Camara's potential, saying that was sure of the goalkeeper's abilities to step in and save the day in Asare's absence.
"I said there was not going to be a problem (in the absence of Asare) because we have [Camara]. If Asare comes, we all know he's a national team goalkeeper, the three of them will keep working, on the Match Day, the one we think will suit the game, we just put him there," Ogum said.
"As a team, I think it's good for us we have good goalkeepers so that when the last line of defence is beaten he will be there to save the team, and you saw he did that a lot within the game. I want to urge him to keep his confidence, keep working hard, and stay focused throughout the season," he added.
With the international break now over, Ogum have a daunting task to decide between Frederick Asare and Mohammed Camara for the starting berth in Asante Kotoko's match-day two game against Nsoatreman FC.
