Ghana: “we see them with women with enormous buttocks,” the Asante Kotoko players were roasted.

Tension is rising around Asante Kotoko. At a time when the club is going through another rocky patch in the Ghanaian Premier League, Charles Taylor has poured fuel on the fire. A former emblematic figure of the local game, the ex-winger launched a scathing attack on the current Porcupine Warriors squad, which he considers lacking in seriousness and professionalism.

Speaking on Angel FM, Taylor did not spare the players, whom he accuses of losing focus far from the demands of the top level. According to him, the attention paid to social media and post-match socializing is taking precedence over concentration and sporting performance, a symptom of a deeper problem within the club.

“Kotoko’s players take way too many photos with women after matches. That’s why they get distracted so easily, Taylor said, in comments relayed by Ghanasoccernet. They don’t care about their surroundings. You see them taking photos with women even after a defeat. They hug them, hold them tight and smile. Any serious professional would avoid women after matches to avoid distractions and drama. But they couldn’t care less. You see them with women with generous curves.”

These criticisms come at a difficult time for Kotoko, who trail leaders Medeama SC by six points after 18 matchdays. Despite a brief upturn in form, the momentum quickly fizzled out, reviving doubts about the club’s sporting project and the future of coach Karim Zito. Fourth with 31 points, the Porcupine Warriors are seeing their title ambitions seriously threatened, as pressure continues to mount both internally and among supporters.
