When quizzed on Medeama’s dominant win over Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the cup final, he said, “We have done it before and we were motivated to play in Africa. It was a planned we set for ourselves to either win the league or the FA cup and the FA cup came. It was an accomplished mission set by ourselves.Our performance on the day was all because of player development. The technical team wanted to open an avenue for all the registered players and you can see it, even without Nathaniel Asamoah in our ranks.
