Asante Kotoko SC striker Steven Mukwala has spoken about the positive competition between him and fellow striker Kalo Ouattara within the team. Mukwala highlighted the healthy rivalry between them and how it benefits the team.
In an interview with Kotoko’s official media channel ahead of their upcoming Ghana Premier League match against Bechem United, Mukwala emphasized the importance of healthy competition within the team. He mentioned that if either of them is not in top form, the other is ready to step up and contribute to the team’s success.
Mukwala stated, “He is an amazing striker as well. Always a team has to be with competition which is healthy, so I think our competition is really healthy. If I’m not in good shape, he is ready to deliver for the team. If he’s not in good shape, I think I can also play that part, so basically it has been a good healthy competition.”
As they prepare for the match, Kotoko is currently in seventh place in the league standings, while Bechem occupies the 13th spot out of 18 teams in the league. Mukwala, a Ugandan international, scored 11 goals in 31 appearances for Asante Kotoko last season. However, he is yet to find the net this campaign, while Ouattara, who is Ivorian, has scored three goals in five matches this season.
