Asante Kotoko midfielder Baba Yahaya has acknowledged that the team underperformed in the 2023/24 football season, taking the blame for their disappointing campaign.
The Porcupine Warriors failed to win any of the trophies they competed for, including the Ghana Premier League and the MTN FA Cup. In a post-season interview with the media team of Asante Kotoko, Baba Yahaya admitted that the team's poor performance was due to a lack of consistency and momentum.
"We didn't start well but in the middle of the season, we managed to get back on track. Unfortunately, the momentum dropped along the way. We take the blame for the poor season," Yahaya said.
Baba Yahaya also reflected on his own performance, acknowledging that it didn't meet his expectations.
"I didn't live up to the expectations of supporters because personally, I know what I can do. For every first season, there are difficulties but I hope from the second season onwards I will live up to the expectations. I will work hard for this," he said.
Despite the disappointment, Baba Yahaya remains confident that he can improve and make a greater impact for his team next season through hard work and dedication.
