Ashgold must work harder — Akonnor

Ashantigold SC trainer, Charles Kobina Akonnor, says he requires a further improvement by his team in subsequent matches despite shocking Medeama 1-0 at Tarkwa last Friday.

Coach Akonnor believes his team must work harder to continue with their new-found consistency if they are to avoid relegation.

Ashantigold managed a 1-0 upset over Medeama at the Tarkwa T&A Park last Friday and Coach Akonnor praised his players for working tirelessly to ensure victory on a very tough ground.

In an interview with the Graphic Sports yesterday, Coach Akonnor called for consistency to help them finish above the relegation zone after starting the season on a poor note.

He said the team must be clinical in subsequent matches to prevent any slips against their opponents in their campaign to escape relegation.

"The team must improve to be able to work hard and avoid relegation. They must work harder in subsequent matches to continue our charge to avoid relegation," Coach Akonnor said.

"Any team that need results must have continuity; that is to say they must be clinical in every match to avoid heartbreaks," he explained.

Coach Akonnor, himself a former player of Ashantigold, was hopeful of achieving his aim of avoiding relegation at the end of the season.
