Exclusive: “The Goal Drought Will End, I'm Now Adapting” - says Ghanaian Teen Dominic Amponsah

Ghanaian international Dominic Amponsah shares his joy of playing in Georgia's First League and targets title glory with Dilla Gori under Coach Costa Ricardo. Discusses how he is settling into his new environment, as he hopes to boost his goal-scoring rate for the Guarders.

Dominic Amponsah, 18, has joined Dila Gori in Georgia's Erovnuli Liga, calling it "a huge opportunity." The Ghanaian prodigy's arrival at Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium has revitalized the Guarders, seeking redemption from nine seasons of title chase heartbreak.

Amponsah previously starred for Accra Lions in the Ghana Premier League, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists. However, the slow adjustment of the young striker in front of goal means the club would have to be a bit patient as he strives to rediscover his goal-scoring touch.

TOUGH EROVNULI  LIGA  

Amponsah, has dismissed notions that Georgia's Erovnuli Liga is inferior. Despite having experience in two professional leagues, he insists the Erovnuli Liga is more challenging than some may think.

"I've heard people call the Erovnuli Liga easy, but that's far from accurate," Amponsah noted. "From my experience over the past few months, this league is highly competitive, " he mentioned to  SportsBoom.co.za.

"I ignore the negativity and focus on settling into this new environment. Despite being unknown here, I'm adapting well to the system."

"The competition within the squad and among clubs is fierce. Everyone strives to top the table and secure a European spot. The Erovnuli Liga boasts quality players, which drives my teammates and me to work tirelessly."

Also, the young  striker  expressed his excitement about playing in Georgia's Erovnuli Liga.

"I'm loving every minute of it," Amponsah exclaimed. "The Erovnuli Liga is pushing me to improve with each game

"I'm truly thankful to be here, doing what I love. The electric atmosphere and fantastic fan support make every match special. To be honest, there's always something to celebrate, and I'm excited to continue representing the club." he concluded.

CHALLENGING  START 

Despite a slow start, Amponsah praised the club's patience, saying: "Dilla's faith in me has been tremendous. I'm working tirelessly to regain my goal-scoring touch, and I'm confident the goals will come."

"It's been a difficult for me," he explained said. "Goals have been hard to come by, but I'm learning to adapt to this new environment. I'm starting from scratch, and once I settle in, you'll see the best of me."

"The coaching staff's support has made all the difference. It's given me confidence to address my weaknesses in training, and I've seen significant improvement since joining the team. I owe a huge thanks to them."

With six matches under his belt and no goals to show, Amponsah feels the weight of expectation.

"I understand the club can't wait for me, especially with various competitions ongoing. So, I've taken it upon myself to double my efforts."

"My aim was to play actively, score goals, and boost our chances. While it's not gone as planned, I'll contribute my all with every opportunity."

"Being available for the team, helping, and playing are my priorities. Scoring goals will follow when the chances come."
