« Role model Ben Manga »: German football magazine reports on Ado Kojo and Petingen
Titus Petingen celebrated his tenth anniversary of the club on Tuesday. Even a German football magazine reported about the BGL league team a few days ago. However, this was not on the tenth anniversary of the merger club, but to Ado Kojo. Because The renowned football magazine « 11 friends » spoke to the new Petingen president during the international break in March. At that time, a test game between the BGL league team and the U23 team from Schalke 04 ended 1-1.
Ado Kojo was once recognized by the « Bravo » as « Best Newcomer ». In 2015, the R&B singer and Shirin David even made it into the top ten of German music charts with a cover of the hits « You don’t love me ». But the musician, who is called Marc Kojo Adomako with a bourgeois name, also has plenty of football expertise. Among other things, Ado Kojo was involved as a youth coach of HSV Langenfeld, has experience as a player consultant and once played in the D-youth of Bayer Leverkusen.
In a few years we want to lead Peingen to the European Cup – then we are even more attractive for top talents.
Ado Kojo
In the report, Ado Kojo speaks, among other things, about this time. Because his mother could no longer drive him to work due to work, he had to stop « 11 friends » according to the football magazine. « My family used to be so poor that at the end of the month we usually only had bread, some oil and salt to eat, » he is quoted in the post. « That’s why I was never in a Bundesliga game as a child. My father and I always looked at the U23 of Bayer Leverkusen, so you could go to the stadium for free. »
Talent promotion
Today he wants to offer a platform together with Vice President Thamrat Vechviroon and the other club managers in Petingen young footballers. « The training of young people is really important to us, » Ado Kojo already had a few weeks ago In an interview with the « Luxemburger Word » betrayed. « We want to bring hungry talents from Luxembourg or Germany here, develop them and thus make the club gradually better, » said Ado Kojo again as part of the test game against the U23 from Schalke.
« 11 friends » initiated a section with the intermediate title « Role model Ben Manga ». Because for Ado Kojo his old friend is a role model. Today’s Schalke squad planner was once involved in numerous successful transfers in Frankfurt and developed the club from a relegation candidate to the Europa League winner. « So in something I imagine in Petingen, » Ado Kojo is quoted in the contribution of the football magazine « 11 friends ». « Of course on a slightly smaller scale. »
With the European Cup, Ado Kojo has to be patient at least. Even if currently Niederkorn and Dudelingen have to worry about the UEFA license And Hesperingen has not applied for any at all, participation in the Conference League qualification is unlikely this summer. The 41-year-old does not want to put pressure on the team anyway. Because the European Cup is only a long -term goal for it. « In a few years we want to lead Peingen to the European Cup – then we are even more attractive for top talents, » says Ado Kojo.

But even the latest developments are likely to be happy with the football -loving musician. Petingen has already collected one more point in the current second half of the season than in the entire first half of the season. After 26 games, the team of coach Akil Momade occupied the ninth place in the table with 35 points. Most recently, the Momade Team of the European Cup candidate Dudelingen defeated a 1-1. And in contrast to the previous year, Petingen also received the UEFA license.
