Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Daniel Nii Adjei believes Ghanaian clubs are not serious about CAF competitions, which explains their recent poor performance on the continental stage.<\/p>\n

Nii Adjei is well-versed in CAF interclub competitions, having won all three on the continent. Between 2012 and 2017, he won the CAF Champions League, two Confederation Cup trophies, and CAF Super Cup with the Congolese club TP Mazembe.<\/p>\n

Asante Kotoko, Ghana’s representative in this season’s Champions League, were eliminated in a shock defeat to RC Kadiogo despite winning the first leg away.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak, who are representing Ghana in the Confederation Cup, need a big win on Sunday to avoid being eliminated early, just like their fierce rivals. The Phobians lost 3-0 to AS Real Bamako in the first leg last weekend.<\/p>\n

“The CAF competitions are not like the normal league. I know on our local scene we take everything as a joke even when we have not finished, we start celebrating that we\u2019ve won,\u201d he said on Radio Gold.<\/p>\n

“Me I knew it will happen because going away to win 1-0 and when you come home you don\u2019t prepare well and you start to jubilate, the one coming is serious because he is already down. And then CAF [competitions] we don\u2019t win by saying I\u2019ve won away, no, you have to finish it.”<\/p>\n

“I will say in Ghana we are always jubilating without playing the game. We always use our mouths to beat people but football is not like that. I wasn\u2019t surprised Kotoko were eliminated,” he added.<\/p>\n
