“After training with a coach for some time (Pre-season), you get use to his formation and style then you changed another coach. You see that its difficult and it would take time for the players to get use his style” He added.
Speaking to Sey Mubarik on Gbanju Fm,on his experience with the club, in terms of performance this season, the former Black stars B player, rated himself poor and attributed it to his contract issues with the club.
“I agree that things didn’t go well for me at the start of the season, I had a bad start of the season, that was due to the contract issues that I had with the club” he said.
“My contract was renewed, two days to the start of the league. Initially I wasn’t sure and because of that I couldn’t do pre-season with them” he explained.
Football in the country is still under suspension, even though the President has started easing some restrictions in the country to get things back to normalcy.
The fate of the Ghana football season will be decided after June 30.
