“Usually, I want to appeal to the nation, to all our football-loving fans to come in their numbers; those who will be able to come and support us those who will be watching the game at various homes keep your fingers crossed for us,” the former Asante Kotoko coach said.

“This is our moment this is our time and so we need your support to make it, without you, it’s always difficult,” he said.
