Asante Kotoko head coach, Mariano Barreto has said no proper striker from Brazil will come and play football in Ghana.
This season alone under coach Mariano Barreto, Asante Kotoko have signed two Brazilian footballers namely Fabio Gama and Michael Vinicius.[ads2]
Vinicius has left the club after just three months with the Ghana Premier League heavyweight, leaving Fabio Gama who was instrumental for the club, scored five goals and assisted seven times.
Speaking in an interview on Kumasi-based Nhyira FM, Mariano Barreto revealed that he was astonished when the management of the club told him they have signed a top Brazilian striker to replace Kwame Opoku who joined USM Alger.[ads3]
He said that, “Players from Ghana want to go to Europe, players from Brazil also want to go to Europe. Mostly for Money,” he told Nhyira FM in an interview
“So I was surprised to hear that a top striker from Brazil is coming to replace Kwame Poku at Kotoko.”
“When they (Kotoko) told me a top Brazilian striker is to replace Kwame Opoku, I was surprised. Because why could a top striker in Brazil come to Ghana?”[ads5]
