Former Ghana defender James Kuuku Dadzie has dismissed every chance of Obuasi Ashgold excelling in the CAF champions league due to limited competitive going into the competition.

The Obuasi based club qualified for the 2015/16 champions league as league champions of Ghana and will be returning to a competition that used to be a playing ground the ‘Aboakese’ club but have been absent for over a decade.

Ashgold are yet to impress n the off-season with no win against any premier league opposition and that has got many football pundits and fans questioning their readiness for the game against Mo Bejaia on Sunday.

The 2014/15 Ghana premier league champion’s latest defeat at the hands of MTN FA cup champions, Medeama SC last Sunday has not helped their chances of instilling hope in their fans and it is based on these stats the former Black Stars defender, Kuuku Dadzie believes Ashgold won’t last in the knock-out tournament.

He said,”Ashgold as a club is not prepared for Africa and based on their performances in some of the games justifies their unpreparedness for the continental competition.”

“With the league still in recess the players of Ashgold are short of match fitness else they would have been fit and found some rhythm among the players in their games and also allowed Coach Bashiru Hayford know his
new signings especially better,” he added.

Ashgold will host their Algerian counterpart, Mo Bejaia at the Len Clay stadium on Sunday, 14th February.
