Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum has disclosed the preparation his team gets before taking on bitter rivals Accra Hearts of Oak that has led to success against the Phobians.
He said this in a post-game interview after Kotoko beat Hearts 1-0 at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi with Albert Amoah scoring the winner.
The win is Kotoko’s fourth in a row in all competitions including two wins in the 2023-2024 league campaign and the Democracy Cup victory.
“I think it’s all about trying to get ready for the game every component of the game especially when you are playing Hearts of Oak, the physical component of the game…so it’s an aspect I’ve been working on anytime we are playing Hearts of Oak in terms of the physical preparation.”

“They come in all out to make sure that they weaken you and then when they get the chance, they score and then go to sit back and frustrate you” Dr. Ogum said.
Kotoko have won back to back league games after losing four in a row.
