Dreams FC head coach Abdul Karim Zito has attributed his team’s struggles in the ongoing 2024/25 Ghana Premier League to a lack of experience.
Following their impressive debut in the CAF Confederation Cup last season, the ‘Still Believe’ boys have found it difficult to replicate that form domestically.
They currently sit 15th on the league table with just 20 points from 19 matches.
Speaking to Graphic Sports, the veteran coach admitted that the transition from lower-tier football to the top flight has been steep for many of his players, most of whom were recruited from Division Two and are still adapting to the demands of elite competition.
“Some of our players came from Division Two, and when you are learning, patience is required. Some adapt quickly, but others take time to adjust to the system,” he said.
Despite managing only four wins, eight draws, and seven defeats so far, Zito remains optimistic about his team’s chances when the league resumes.
“The level of play in the second division is completely different from the Premier League,” he noted.
“Players coming from the lower tier always struggle at first, but I can assure you that when the league resumes, we will be a different side altogether.”
He reaffirmed his belief in his squad’s ability to turn things around, insisting that Dreams FC is prepared to fight for survival and silence their critics.
“While the road has been rocky, the ‘Still Believe’ lads are ready to fight for their survival – and prove their critics wrong,” he added.
