Asante Kotoko forward Albert Amoah after an intensive training session, has been radiating confidence in the squad’s readiness and mindset as they approach one of the Ghana Premier League’s most electrifying fixtures.
”We are preparing very well for the game against Hearts of Oak. We are working on our goalscoring”, he said.
The sharp striker emphasized that the team has been putting in dedicated work on the training ground, with everyone fully bought into the collective effort to elevate their performance levels.
Amoah specifically pointed out the squad’s deliberate focus on refining their attacking output, particularly in the final third. He noted that the Porcupine Warriors have been drilling hard on improving goalscoring efficiency—converting created opportunities into goals more consistently—and ensuring they capitalize better in matches. This targeted preparation stems from a recognition that clinical finishing could prove decisive in tight contests, especially against strong opposition.
These comments come at a pivotal moment for Asante Kotoko, just days before their blockbuster Super Clash against arch-rivals Hearts of Oak on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the iconic Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. The match, scheduled for a 5:00 PM GMT kickoff, marks the 120th league encounter between the two historic giants and carries massive implications in the title race.
Currently, Kotoko sit in 5th place with 35 points from their matches so far, while Hearts of Oak hold a narrow edge in 3rd with 36 points, making this fixture a potential turning point for both sides’ ambitions.
Amoah’s optimism shines through despite recent turbulence at the club, including the resignation of head coach Abdul Karim Zito shortly before this high-stakes clash, which has left the technical direction in a transitional phase.
Interim arrangements are expected, but the forward stressed the players’ determination to rise above uncertainties and deliver for the passionate supporters. He urged fans not to lose faith, reinforcing that the team remains united and hungry to claim maximum points in this fierce rivalry showdown.
The atmosphere in Kumasi is already building, with the Baba Yara set to be packed for what promises to be a tense, high-energy battle. Amoah’s post-training remarks underscore a squad that is not only physically prepared but mentally focused on executing their game plan—particularly boosting their goal tally—to secure a vital result and keep their season objectives alive.
