Black Stars coach Chris Hughton has asked the vociferous Kumasi fans to turn up in their numbers and reinforce their pedigree by throwing their weight behind the Black Stars as they battle it out with Angola at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium today.
Hughton stressed the value of having a vocal and enthusiastic crowd to support the squad during a pre-game press conference on Wednesday.
“It’s a very passionate support, it’s a very vocal support, and any team that wants to do well wants a big crowd behind them. This I’m quite sure will happen. Whatever the numbers are I know they are very vocal crowd,” said Hughton.
The coach further stated, “We know as a team, and as the players, we have the responsibility to return this and the supporters must enjoy what they see. I can never guarantee the results but mostly they will see a team that is giving everything to get the result.”
In order to advance to the AFCON tournament, the Black Stars will have to defeat Angola in today’s match before the return leg in Angola three days later. The game is set to start at 16:00 GMT on Thursday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
