Veteran forward Abednego Tetteh has caused a stir by claiming that playing against Ghana’s two biggest clubs, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, is the easiest challenge for young footballers in the Premier League.
Tetteh, who celebrated his 34th birthday last month, made these comments after his side, Heart of Lions, secured a crucial 1-0 win over Asante Kotoko at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium last weekend. Kwadwo Obeng Jr.’s first-half strike sealed the victory for the Giant Killers, following their previous triumph over Hearts of Oak in week 2.
In an interview with Sompa TV after the game, the former GPL Goal King explained that playing against Hearts and Kotoko provides an excellent opportunity for young players to make a name for themselves.
“Playing against Hearts and Kotoko are the easiest games to play in the Premier League. I’ve played against them several times, so I know what it takes to face them,” Tetteh said. “For young players, these are perfect games to showcase themselves, and we, the experienced ones, always advise them to give their best to earn the spotlight.”
Although Tetteh has yet to score in seven league appearances this season, he will be eager to feature prominently when Heart of Lions host Berekum Chelsea in Kpando this weekend.
