Dwarfs targets Chelsea scalp for blissful homecoming

Accra, Nov. 22, GNA – Ebusua Dwarfs has set their sights on victory against Berekum Chelsea this weekend as they return to their favourite Robert Mensah Stadium, for the first time in eight months.   Dwarfs will play host to leaders Berekum Chelsea in their week eight clash of the 2012/2013 Premier League on Sunday, in their first ever game since the completion of their eight-match ban, and head coach Professor Joseph Mintah is looking forward to a positive output on their return home.   The Cape Coasters were banned eight matches after a group of their supporters assaulted referee Patrick Kyeremateng in their league clash against Aduana Stars last season, which the visitors won by a solitary strike.   Professor Mintah told GNA Sports playing in front of their teeming fans will serve both negative and positive effects, after such a long absence away from their preferred grounds.   “It will have both negative and positive effects since the team has been away for a long time. We would have loved to play some particular matches at home but the ban made it impossible.   “But I will prefer my team plays to instructions rather than the gallery due to the presence of the fans. The most important thing is we have to win the game which like any other game has three points at stake.”   The United States-trained tactician rued the effect of having to be on the road each weekend for matches, adding that it brought so much stress on his players.    “We were really affected by fatigue as we had to travel outside for games. At one point, I almost gave up because I got tired. However, we managed to put ourselves together and carried on.”   On the clash with Chelsea, Professor Mintah admits a tough opposition with three points separating the two sides.   “Chelsea is one of the best sides in the country if not the best. They have good players and made an impact in the recent CAF Champions League.   “We are going to play our game for the three points. We are ready for them and will work towards our target.”   Dwarfs has won their previous two games, beating King Faisal (1-0) and Wa All Stars (2-1) both away from home.       GNA... Read Full Story
