He has, therefore, called on all hands to be on deck as they seek to build a competitive side for the second round of the Premier League beginning Sunday against Tema Youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir position in that game was completely different and I am okay with the performance. The players were good. They displayed desire and passion to win. There are still a lot of things we got to work on to build on that performance for the next game,\u201d the coach told the Graphic Sports in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>The former Berekum Chelsea trainer who took over from interim coach Frimpong Manso as Kotoko\u2019s fourth coach this season, said he witnessed an improvement in his players\u2019 overall fitness against Proud United and hoped to build on the positives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my experience, sometimes the players would want to impress but I have been drumming it to them that if you want to play for Kotoko or you want to play for me you have to do your best\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the 56-year-old trainer who holds a Finnish citizenship, has demanded patience from Kotoko\u2019s teeming supporters as he works around the clock to turn the club\u2019s fortunes around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t just ignore the supporters. If you win a game or not you have to acknowledge them because they are the ones paying your salary through various contributions.
