Former Asante Kotoko captain Joe Hendricks has weighed in on the current crisis facing the Porcupine Warriors, suggesting that the team needs to prioritize recruiting strong and intelligent players over those with a significant social media following.
The Ghana Premier League giants have been struggling in the ongoing 2023/24 season, with a poor performance in their last six games, losing five and drawing one.
This has led to growing dissatisfaction among fans, who have been critical of head coach Prosper Ogum and the players after each match.
Speaking on Agoro Fie on Onua TV, Hendricks emphasized the importance of having intelligent players who can adapt and come up with strategies on the field. He believes that Asante Kotoko should focus on substance rather than style when it comes to player recruitment.
“Asante Kotoko need strong and intelligent players, not social media players,” Hendricks stated, highlighting the need for players who can deliver on the pitch rather than just attract attention off it.
The Porcupine Warriors are set to face Dreams FC in their upcoming match on matchweek 26, and fans will be hoping for a much-improved performance from the team.
