A former Asante Kotoko forward, Charles Taylor has called on Brazilian midfielder, Fabio Gama to shun criticisms that will be made against him.

Gama, who joined the Ghana Premier League powerhouse has been criticized by some section of the media and some supporters of the club.

Speaking in an interview, Taylor said a key factor that will determine how Fabio’s Kotoko career unfolds is how the Brazilian will deal with the criticism that will come from the fans and the media.

He added that the 28-year-old has started his career well and will need to toughen up mentally and physically to deal with the pressure that comes with playing for Asante Kotoko.

“I will advice Gama to focus on his football. He should continue to do his best and I believe he will come good with time. He should be focused and not pay attention to the critics”, he told Kumasi based Pure FM.

Gama has played five games so far for Kotoko but it is his last three games that have earned him plaudits from the Kotoko fans.

Though he has just an assist to show, his overall performance has been praised by coach Johnson Smith who has appealed to Ghanaian referees to protect him from reckless tackles.
