Englishman Steve Pollack may be celebrating his first ever trophy

in Ghanaian football courtesy Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Medeama SC in the final

of the inaugural GHALCA Glo G8 tournament, but the Englishman knows tougher

challenges lay ahead of his side.

He has exclusively told ALL SPORTS that beating Nania in coming Sunday’s

Ghana Super Cup won’t be easy. That is why his side are not entertaining any

rest at all despite just concluding a hectic Glo G8 tournament in which they

played 5 games in two weeks.

“This will be my first game against Nania but I know Abedi very

well, I have spoken to him and I know his side plays great football. We all

know that Nania also beat Chelsea the last time we met so it won’t be easy. We are

just going to rest for a day tomorrow and get back to training because we have a

big game which we have to win,” Pollack told ALL SPORTS even as he was busy on

the phone texting messages to his wife and children.

He also commends Medeama for putting up a tough opposition in the

Glo G8 final despite Chelsea clinching their third silverware in four months following

the Premier League and President Cup triumphs.

“It wasn’t an easy win

because Medeama were very strong. Before the game they had scored nine goals in

4 games in the competition so we knew it was going to be tough. I’m glad that

my players were able to handle them and we have this trophy to show for our

efforts. It’s an honour and I’m glad,” stated Pollack.
