“Well, as you can see, for the last three League games and even the FA Cup, you could see the improvement and we are going to nail the record on Sunday. We are going to show the other people that we are in the winning spree, it’s going on and it’s not going to stop," he said in an interview with Akoma FM in Kumasi.
“We’ve always been beaten them (Hearts of Oak) and they are coming to our land, so forget the mentality that Kumasi being their home, it’s our land, it’s our soil and they are coming here to face us so we take it as our home match, not even for them”
