He is a good player. He is a player with attacking instincts and always is on the front foot,” Gyamfi told Silver FM.
“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.
Gama is expected to make his second Kotoko start in their GPL encounter with Wafa on Sunday.
“I am used to the weather because I played in Brazil all my life and it’s the same weather, the midfielder said after the game, as reported by 442 Ghana.
Liberty, meanwhile, occupy eleventh position.
The major talking point of Kotoko s team news was the presence of new Brazilian signing Fabio Gama Dos Santos for his first start for his new club.
Joining the former Brazil U17 and U21 attacker in coach Johnson Smith s starting line-up were Mubarik Yusif, Samuel Frimpong and Emmanuel Sarkodie, with Habib Mohammed and Emmanuel Gyamfi among the casualties.
Kotoko went all guns blazing from the start as Opoku set up Christopher Nettey for a first goalscoring opportunity in the second minute but the defender s final effort went wide.
In the 10th minute, the Porcupine Warriors broke the deadlock as Opoku latched on to a Gama ball inside the box, created space for himself before shooting into the net to make it 1-0.
Visiting coach Johnson Smith handed young midfielder Emmanuel Sarkodie a starting opportunity to debut for the club while also bringing Samuel Frimpong, Abdul Ganiyu and Habib Mohammed into the starting line-up
Medeama coach Samuel Boadu handed attacking responsibilities to Kwasi Donsu, Kwadwo Asamoah, Rashid Nortey and Eric Kwakwa in his set-up.
Before the match could witness any clear scoring chance, the home side were forced into an early substitution as Ali Ouattara went down injured and had to be replaced by Baba Musah in the 12th minute.
In the 16th minute, Kwakwa s shot from outside the box went off target, moments before Kotoko goalkeeper Razak Abalora denied Patrick Yeboah the opener.
Fabio Gama was supposed to be a direct replacement for [Matthew] Anim Cudjoe because we would not sign him, Amponsah told Oyerepa FM on Saturday. The only problem is with his work permit, but we have been able to get Gama s work permit and he is available to play against Al Hilal in Sudan [in the Caf Champions League on January 6]. We have all been yearning to get a creative player in the team, and Gama is there to provide that. We needed someone to hold on to the ball and get things done for us.
Amponsah also shed light on the recent sacking of head coach Maxwell Konadu following a 1-0 home loss to Great Olympics in the Ghana Premier League.
