Asante Kotoko interim manager Michael Osei, who is still counting on getting the job on permanent basis, says he is not under pressure to deliver on Sunday against bitterest rivals Hearts of Oak.

The two most glamorous clubs in the country will renew their rivalry in the semifinals of the GHALCA G6 tournament this weekend.

Kotoko have been in top form in pre-season competition, scoring goals for fun as they hit Bechem United for three and made light work of Premier League holders WA All Stars compared to Hearts who sneaked through with a point from two games.

There is huge expectations for Porcupine Warriors to beat the Phobians but Osei has played down the pressure.

‘’No pressure at all, I am doing my work and ready for the clash..’’ Osei told reporters.

‘’It’s too early to say the team is on the rise. We still have to focus and work very hard,’’

‘’My boys for the past two weeks have shown tremendous improvement in training but I think we can do more and have a better season’’
