He should stop talking about fatigue and other things. Were they on assignment in Africa? A team from Kpando has defeated you and you are talking about fatigue. He should know his players are not extraordinary players. They are not special players for him to complain about losing. They are average players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On how Kotoko can recover from the defeat, Charles Taylor urged the players to improve their performance and not think that playing for Asante Kotoko is enough to guarantee victories.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor stated that complacency has affected the Asante Kotoko camp and that the players must be advised to work hard and secure victories for the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe players should work hard and recognize that they are playing for a big club like Asante Kotoko. You don&#8217;t beat teams with names but with good performance. The boys need to work hard, but it feels like they are getting complacent. They play like they are leading the top. They are too comfortable,\u201d he said on Angel TV.<\/p>\n<p>Kwadwo Obeng Jr. scored as Heart of Lions defeated Asante Kotoko 1-0 at the Len Clay Stadium on Saturday, November 2, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>EK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko forward, Charles Taylor Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko forward, Charles Taylor, has chided coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum for comments he made after the club\u2019s defeat to Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League.
