Asante Kotoko assistant coach Hamza Obeng says the technical team plans to exploit Bibiani Gold Stars’ pressing weaknesses when the sides meet in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.The Porcupine Warriors host the former champions at the Baba Yara Stadium seeking to end a three-match winless run and revive their title challenge.Obeng revealed that Kotoko have studied their opponents and identified areas they intend to target, particularly their approach to pressing.”We’ve watched them. We’ve watched some of their games, and we are working towards exploiting their weaknesses. We know they struggle in terms of pressing,” he said.He explained that Gold Stars’ tendency to commit one player in the attacking zone could allow Kotoko to build from the back and progress through midfield.”We mostly see them press with one player in the attacking zone, which means we also have the capability of playing them out from behind,” Obeng added.He said the team has been working on patient build-up play, breaking through the middle and creating clear scoring opportunities.Kotoko are eighth points behind league leaders Medeama and will be under pressure to secure maximum points against Gold Stars.
