Undoubtedly, he [Gama] is a very good footballer. when you see him with the ball at his feet, you’re easily convinced he’s a good player,” Tanko told Kessben TV.
“What’s left is for him to improve on the physical aspect of the game. Ghana football is 80 per cent physical. Hopefully, he should get stronger in the second half [of the season]. Aside from that, he is a very good player.
On his full debut, Gama was at the thick of affairs in both of Kotoko s goals which ensured a 2-0 win over Liberty Professionals in Accra.
“If he continues to play the next five, six matches like this he will be the best. He is a very good player. You notice a quality player with how he controls and passes the ball.
Dwarfs, meanwhile, are left ninth on the league table after nine rounds of matches.
Coach Johnson Smith made two changes to the starting set-up which held Wafa to a 1-1 draw on Sunday while maintaining Ghana goalkeeper Razak Abalora and Brazilian sensation Fabio Gama Dos Santos.
Dwarfs coach Ernest Quartey predictably put faith in talisman Dennis Korsah to lead his side.
In the third minute, Imoro Ibrahim tested Dwarfs goalkeeper Razak Issah with a free-kick, the shot-stopper collecting on the second grab after spilling the first attempt.
Dangerman Kwame Opoku made his maiden attempt in the 26th minute but his shot went straight into the side netting before Gama s 35h minute header just missed the target after connecting with Patrick Asmah s corner.
