Kotoko take on Burkinabe in Accra

Tue, 30 Jan 2001 Source: By Eric Enchill

FABULOUS Asante Kotoko, eager to return to form in the next season will play another international friendly with the national team of Burkina Faso at the Accra Stadium tomorrow.

Coming off with successes against the Togolese national team, the Hawks in Accra and Kumasi, Kotoko are gradually carving a niche for themselves as giant killers and might be mouthful for the Burkinabe.

But if Kotoko could maintain their good fortunes in pre-season preparation then they would have to move fast to solve the issue surrounding the signing of Osei Kwame and Nana Frimpong.

The inclusion of the two players in the Kotoko set up have certainly given the Fabulous club a kiss of life.

Their experience and mature play have been an asset to the team, emerging as stars in all the matches they have featured.

However, their being with Kotoko in the coming season is in doubt as their respective club officials remain unwilling to free them out of their contracts.

If the two players stay out of Kotoko?s team tomorrow, Kotoko could find the tough Burkinable hard nuts to crack.

As a national soccer team, Burkina Faso could easily pass as minnows on the continent but certainly not inferior.

It is their quest to lift themselves off the lower rungs of continental soccer that they storm Ghana for soccer lessons and would certainly have their task in focus if they win against the Ghanaian side.
