\nIn an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Henry Asante Twum expressed confidence that Ghana can rise to the occasion, match the host, and thrive under pressure to secure victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pressure is an everyday thing, whether you are the host or you are playing elsewhere there\u2019s always pressure.<\/p>\n

We are a powerful football house, our history says it all.<\/p>\n

The pressure will be immune to our advantage because we will have the 12 men behind us.<\/p>\n

The fans will throng to the Accra sports stadium as they did during the African games, and I\u2019m hoping the fans will cheer the team to victory.<\/p>\n

The Black Starlets, are currently in Russia for the four-nation tournament, aiming to hone their skills and prove themselves before the start of the tournament.<\/p>\n
