We have to concentrate on the last 10 games" â?? Ibrahim Tanko keeps Medeama focused amid title pressure

Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko has urged his players to block out the noise and focus solely on the remaining fixtures as their once-comfortable lead at the top of the Ghana Premier League hangs by a thread. The Yellow and Mauve have seen a nine-point advantage evaporate to just one after a run of four games without a win—three draws and a defeat—while defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars have won four straight to close the gap dramatically. Speaking ahead of Sunday's home clash against Hohoe United in Tarkwa, Tanko acknowledged the tension but stressed the importance of perspective. "We have to concentrate on the last 10 games and then try to win our matches, especially starting on Sunday against Hohoe." The former Black Stars assistant coach pointed out that the title race remains in Medeama's hands, with five home and five away fixtures still to play. "Bibiani will come to us; we will also go to play Accra Hearts of Oak." For Tanko, the message is simple: panic serves no purpose. The focus must remain on execution, one game at a time.
