He noted that Ghanaians have been patient with the team for an extended period and are eager to see positive results.

“Against Madagascar, they fought hard, and you could see the urgency to win. So it's not only about playing but the players have to demonstrate how important the match is for them," he explained.
The ex-Hearts of Oak player also urged the players to evaluate their performances on the field as Ghanaians have been patient with them for a long time.
