Awako concedes to poor opening league show

Midfielder Gladson Awako admits he failed to live up to expectations in Berekum Chelsea’s league opener with Mighty Jets on Sunday.

The Champions who were very active during the transfer window needed a late strike by Captain Abdul Basit to salvage a draw.

And Sunday's performance according to the coach Steve Pollack, does not reflect the huge investments made to bring in as many as 18-new players including ex Ghana internationals; Baba Amando and Charles Taylor.

One of his expensive off-season acquisitions, Gladson Awako was however quick to own-up to his own lackluster performance on the day.

"It was a very difficult game for us and we didn't play well as a team but we managed to get a point which was very important," the ex Heart of Lions playmaker told GHANAsoccernet.com after the game.

"My performance on the day wasn't that bad even though I think I didn't play particularly well.

"I have to work on my physique and I'm sure everything will be fine."

Awako however added that the team aims to atone for Sunday's disappointment with a good win in their next league outing against Liberty Professionals.

"We played away and you know how difficult it is to play your first league match away from home but I am sure we will work hard to get all three points when we play our next match at home," he said.
