Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club head coach Abdul Karim Zito has stated that consistency or the lack of it is the biggest factor that the club needs to match clubs like Wydad Athletic Club.

Zito said this in an interview with the club’s media outlet while reflecting on Kotoko’s poor performances in a 6-1 loss on aggregate to the Moroccan side in the CAF Confederation.

Kotoko lost 1-0 in the first leg and flamed out in a 5-1 loss in the second leg played in the North African nation and Karim Zito believes that the lack of consistency prevents Kotoko from mimicking the success of clubs like Wydad.

Kotoko sold striker Albert Amoah to Libyan side Al Ahly Benghazi for a yet to be officially announced transfer fee after the Porcupine Warriors lost to Wydad.

“We lack a lot of things but the most important is the consistency we don’t have. This team was built about five to six months ago.”

“You can easily see that they [Wydad] they are there for about three, four seasons. It’s about team work not about individual players.”

“All we need now is to be consistent in our team building; consistency goes with quality. Once injuries, transfers set in definitely you won’t get the consistency” Karim Zito said.
