NEWLY-appointed head coach of Medeama, Yaw Preko, is anticipating a highly competitive second round of the Ghana Premier League because of some exciting games witnessed during the first round.

Before his appointment early this month, Preko worked as a stop-gap coach for Great Olympics when their head coach Annor Walker was hospitalised during which the Wonder Club were undefeated in four matches, including masterminding a famous 2-0 victory against Hearts of Oak.

He believes the quality of play has improved with the players also showing a lot of improvement compared to the early stages of the league.

''In the beginning it [overall performance] was a bit down and some of the boys were a bit jittery and were not in shape, which was normal; but before the end of the first round, I saw quality players and competitive matches in each and every club so we’re hoping to enjoy good football even at some of the centres with bad pitches, if they are fixed,'' Preko told
