Opoku Nti, a former Asante Kotoko player and legend, has weighed in on the ongoing debate about which goalkeeper between Danlad Ibrahim and Frederick Asare is better.
Although he believes that the two should not be compared, he has stated that he would choose Danlad for his experience and pedigree over Asare.
Opoku Ntim explained that when a player has risen through the ranks to become the number one goalkeeper, it is not fair to compare them to a newcomer.
He added that it is too early to make such comparisons, and that there is often too much propaganda involved.
Opoku Ntim went on to say that although every goalkeeper can make mistakes, he still thinks Danlad Ibrahim is more mature and has more pedigree.
He acknowledged that both goalkeepers have been good for Asante Kotoko this season, with some fans preferring Danlad Ibrahim while others believe that Frederick Asare should be given the opportunity to play.
“When someone goes through the ranks to become a number 1 goalkeeper and there is another person now coming, you cannot say this one is better than the one at the top already.
“Experience wise Danlad is there. It’s too early to do such comparisons. Sometimes you people do propaganda too much,” Opoku Nti bemoaned in an interview with Oyerepa Sports.
The Asante Kotoko legend continued, “I still think Danlad has something more than Frederick Asare. Although every goalkeeper can make a mistake I still think Danlad Ibrahim is more mature. I believe Danlad has more pedigree.”
