Former Asante Kotoko forward Eric Bekoe disclosed players with speed and technical ability can match the style of new Burkinabe coach Seydou Zerbo.
The Porcupine Warriors appointed the former Burkina Faso gaffer last month to replace Prosper Narteh Ogum who resigned at the end of the 2021/22 season.
The 59-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Porcupine Warriors with an option for another year.
The experience tactician saw victory in his first competitive game for Asante Kotoko as they defeated RC Kadiogo 1-0 in yesterday’s CAF Champions League Preliminary round tie.
In an interview session with Union FM, Bekoe admitted the departure of Ogum will have a negative impact on Kotoko, saying it will take smart players to adapt to the style of the new trainer.
“On paper, it will have a negative impact on the players, if Seidu Seydou is bringing new system, it will take smart players to adapt to his system.
” You will not survive in his system if you are a lazy player as he demands more much effective in your play.
“Only pacy and technical players can adapt well to his team and it will be a tough time for some of the players in camp” He concluded.
The Porcupine Warriors will host Burkinabe side RC Kadiogo in the coming week for the second leg tie at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
