Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko striker Eric Bekoe has likened the club’s forward Kwame Poku to Juventus and Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kwame Poku, who joined the Porcupine Warriors from second-tier side Nkoranza Warriors, has hit the ground running since joining the club.
He has scored 6 goals after 10 round of matches in the ongoing Ghana Premier League campaign and Bekoe who became fans, favourite player, during his stint with the Porcupine Warriors in 2008 has compared the latter to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
According to him, Kwame Poku is not a box to box striker and for that, he will need someone who will supply him with the balls.
“I have tasked him to break my records at Kotoko. After having talks with him, I watched some of his videos and there was one thing I saw about him so I made him aware that his style of play is like Ronaldo. He is not a box to box striker”
“So a player like this, you need to focus more on set-pieces then you train on it. During my days I watched Samuel Eto’o because my style of play was like him so I needed to learn something from him”
“I was never flagged offside because of the knowledge I attached that is why it is important to attach education to the game,” he said.
Bekoe scored 42 goals in 48 matches for the Kumasi based club and was part of the squad that won the Ghana Premier League in 2008 and went to the group stages in Africa.
