Kotoko's midfield does not scare me – Emmanuel Sarkodie

Former Division One League star and Asante Kotoko midfielder, Emmanuel Sarkodie says he is not scared about the level of competition he will be getting from his teammates.

Sarkodie will be battling for a spot in Maxwell Konadu's midfield against Justice Blay, Kwame Adom Frimpong, Collins Ameyaw, Mudasiru Salifu and injury returnee Richard Senanu when the season resumes after the Coronavirus pandemic.

However, according to the Former Nkoranza Warriors player, he will start making his mark in the team despite the qualities of the aforementioned players.

In an interview with Kotoko Express App, the midfielder said, “you cannot mention the names of the best midfielders in Ghana and leave out Senanu, Blay, Frimpong, and Mudasiru, but I believe in myself and the quality that I possess, so they do not scare me at all.”

“They have their individual qualities and I also have mine. I have been working very hard throughout my career. I know the kind of preparations I am going through and have gone through. I believe that I can cope with the challenge and get some good number of game minutes.”

He added that his inexperience in the Ghana Premier League will not be a hindrance to his success at Kotoko.

“I have not played in the Premier League before but that can not slow down my progress in the division. I am much better than most of the players in the league. Kotoko would not have come for me if I was not.”
