Asante Kotoko Head Coach, Mariano Barreto has allegedly accused Dansoman based club, Liberty Professionals of stopping the Porcupine Warriors from training ahead of their Match Day 25 game on Saturday.

A late Ismail Abdul Ganiyu equalizer helped Asante Kotoko snatch a point in 1-1 away draw against relegation-threatened Liberty Professionals in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

Speaking after the game, Barreto called for respect and fair play during Ghana Premier League games.

“On Friday, we were not allowed to train here, it is something that made me ashamed because fair play and respect is something that needs to be observed.” Barreto said.

“Someone didn’t respect us, they allowed us to come here and when the team was here, they did not give permission to train.

“This is a football country and there are some things that need to be preserved, that is respect and fair play.

“When the other teams come to Kumasi to play against Kotoko, we receive them very well, but when we go away to other teams for instance Eleven Wonders, they always cause a lot of problem at the gate.

“The match commissioners need to prevent these things, the game is not war” he said.

Kotoko still remain top of the Ghana Premier League table with 45 points after 25 league games.
