I am not under pressure - Karela United coach Evans Adotey

Karela United head coach, Evans Adotey says he is never under pressure after a difficult start of the second half of the season.

The Anyinase based side were impressive in the first half of the ongoing 2020/21 Ghana Premier League and finished the first half as league leaders.

However, returned to winning ways after squeezing a 2-1 victory from troublesome Bechem United in matchday 23 at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park last Sunday.

With Kotoko leading the league log and Medeama, Great Olympics and Hearts of Oak following suit in great speed, it looks increasingly difficult for Karela to make the top two.

Evans Adotey says he is not under pressure to finish on a high at the end of the season.

“I am not under pressure and no pressure will come on me.

“I stick to my game plan and I stick to my style of play.

“And my boys are adhering to my commands.
“Except that the win is not coming.
“So there is no pressure on me, Karela is not the first team I’m coaching.

“I’ve coached AshGold, I’ve coached Medeama, I’ve coached Bechem United.

“I’ve been to Africa several times, I’ve coached the national teams so there is no pressure on me,” Evans Adotey said.

The former AshantiGold trainer has led Karela to two draws and a win in their last three matches.

A 1-1 draw at home to Hearts of Oak and the same scoreline against King Faisal away, saw them pick two points from a possible six.

Karela United lie 5th on the league table with 37 points from 23 matches.
