20 year old defender Emmanuel Ofori-Teyehugmeh is urging his
Amidaus Professionals teammates that it’s time the club returned to winning
ways.
Ofori, on loan from Berekum Chelsea where his contract does
not run out till the end of 2013/14 season, has been ever present for Amidaus
in their debut campaign in the Ghanaian top flight.
But the hugely promising defender is in wonderland on what
is exactly happening to the club which held so much promise after holding
champions Asante Kotoko to a scoreless draw in Kumasi on the opening match day.
A victory on match day 2 pushed the debutants up the table but
four matches later have yielded a solitary point even though, according to Ofori,
Amidaus have been playing well.
“Our performances keep improving. If you watch our matches,
you’ll be impressed but I don’t know what the problem is that we keep conceding
late goals. It happened to us at Aduana last Sunday and it was the same case
against Heart of Lions when we dew 2-2 at home. It’s been tough to take but we
are not thinking about relegation,†he told 90 MINUTES.
 The youngster harbouring
drams of replacing John Mensah in the Black Stars is desperate for a revival
when Amidaus host also struggling Berekum Arsenals on match day 7.
“We’ll beat Arsenals, it is a must. We want to finish at
least in the top 8 so we need to start winning again. It’s true that our strikers
have to up their efforts but teamwork is the key,†said Emmanuel Ofori who last
year succeeded after a 3-week trial at Italian Serie B side Grosetto but couldn’t
sign because of work permit limitations.Credit:
