Medeama boss Ibrahim Tanko wants more clinical finishing as the Ghana Premier League pacesetters host Swedru All Blacks at the TNA Stadium on Sunday.
Ghana Premier League title chasers Medeama SC have a clear message from coach Ibrahim Tanko: turn chances into goals. The Mauve and Yellow host Swedru All Blacks at the TNA Stadium on Sunday, November 8, in a Matchday 10 clash, and Tanko is looking for a sharper attacking display from his men.
Medeama arrive on the back of a gritty 1-1 draw with Asante Kotoko in Kumasi, a result that stopped their momentum but kept them near the top. Tanko wants the team to bounce back with a win in front of their own fans, and says finishing is the key to doing it.
The coach says the preparation has been routine, but he is not underestimating the visitors. Swedru had won three league games in a row before losing to FC AshantiGold on Matchday 9, and Tanko sees that run as proof of their quality. "They won three games straight before the last game. So definitely, you could see that they have quality," he said. His plan at home stays simple: control the game and keep the three points in Tarkwa.
The table adds to the stakes. Medeama sit first on 18 points from nine matches, level with FC Samartex at the summit, while Swedru are seventh on 14 points. A win would keep the Tarkwa side in the title conversation, and Tanko knows the margins in this race are thin.
