Kotoko
goalkeeper
Fredrick
Asare
is
optimistic
about
his
team’s
prospects
ahead
of
their
clash
with
Hearts
of
Oak
in
the
Democracy
Cup.
This
inaugural
event,
initiated
by
the
Parliament
of
Ghana
which
will
take
place
at
Accra
Sports
Stadium
on
Wednesday,
July
17,
marks
a
significant
moment
for
both
clubs
The
upcoming
match
will
be
their
third
encounter
since
facing
off
in
the
Ghana
Premier
League.
Despite
Hearts
of
Oak’s
recent
dominance
in
cup
competitions,
Asare
believes
The
Porcupines
are
poised
to
turn
the
tables.
Following
a
transitional
period
that
saw
Kotoko
release
21
players,
Asare
sees
this
as
the
dawn
of
a
new
era
for
the
team.
He
expressed
confidence
in
their
preparation
under
the
guidance
of
the
coach,
emphasising
the
team’s
strong
training
regimen.
“The
past
victories
for
Hearts
are
now
history,”
Asare
remarked.
“Today,
we
aim
to
change
that
narrative.”
Prior
to
the
Kotoko-Hearts
showdown,
there
will
be
a
curtain-raiser
featuring
a
Parliament
select
team
against
former
Black
Stars
players.
The
ultimate
prize
for
the
victor
between
Kotoko
and
Hearts
is
a
chance
to
face
MLS
side
DC
United,
adding
further
excitement
to
the
upcoming
fixture.
