Great Olympics Coach optimistic about title winning chances
Accra, March 1, GNA – Annor Walker, Head Coach of Accra Great Olympics is hopeful of winning the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League title, after their 2-1 win over Real Tamale United (RTU) on Monday.
The ‘Dade Boys’ secured all three points in their opening game of the second round after a last-gasp winner by Ibrahim Sulley as they moved second on the league table and are only nine points adrift off leaders, Asante Kotoko.
Speaking in a post-match interview after their victory, the experienced gaffer couldn’t hide his excitement over the late winner having said that it would further motivate the boys to give a good chase to this season’s title.
« I would like to thank the Almighty God and my players for working hard to get this victory. Before the match I told my boys they couldn’t take RTU for granted because they were a very good side especially having watched their last game against Hearts in Tamale.
« For us the target is to secure a top four place but when the need comes, I may win the league title and this win against RTU would really motivate us going forward, » he said.
Coach Walker urged fans to rally behind the team especially in the second round where games would be much tougher.
Great Olympics would have a massive opportunity to close the gap at the top when they face Accra Lions at the Accra Sports Stadium come Sunday.
