Asante Kotoko coach Karim Zito has spoken about striker Kwame Opoku’s recent appearance for the Black Stars, saying the decision to keep him in the team is up to Ghana coach Otto Addo. Opoku was substituted at halftime in Ghana’s 2-1 loss to Nigeria, with Brandon Thomas Asante scoring the only goal for Ghana.
Zito expressed uncertainty about Opoku’s future call-ups, stating, “Yes it depends on the coach… We don’t know they told us the players available were the ones used but later if we will bring him we don’t know.”
He revealed that he had asked about other players, including Aziz, and was told they might be given opportunities.
Zito trusts Addo’s judgment, saying, “The coach knows what he is doing he wants to see a little bit of this player a little bit of that player then gather his notes so that next time when it gets to the difficult situation and he is calling he knows who to call to come and help him.”
