Vision FC head coach Nana Kwaku Agyemang has praised Asante Kotoko's tactical discipline following their 2-1 defeat in a preseason friendly match on Sunday.
The encounter, held as part of the build-up to the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season, showcased Kotoko's strategic prowess.
Amoah’s first-half brace was the difference in the game, with the Porcupine Warriors demonstrating their ability to exploit spaces and capitalize on opportunities. Agyemang acknowledged Kotoko's strategic approach, noting their patience and ability to wait for the right moments to strike.
“Kotoko’s organization and discipline were impressive,” said Agyemang. “They don’t press high but instead wait for spaces in the opponent’s team and make the most of them. They did this effectively in the first half, but I adjusted our strategy in the second half to close those spaces.”
He further commented on Kotoko's ability to break through defensive lines and suggested that with a bit more potency in attack, they could pose a significant threat to many teams in the upcoming season.
Asante Kotoko, who finished sixth in the Ghana Premier League last season, underwent significant changes, offloading over 20 players and bringing in 12 new signings. The new season kicks off on September 6, 2024, with Kotoko set to face Karela United in their opening match.
