In a short address at the training grounds, Grunsah told the boys not to be intimidated by the partisan crowd expected at the stadium on Sunday. Earlier, the players had unanimously declared war against their opponents at their own backyard.

In a related development the Managing Director of the Club, George Amoako has debunked the notion that King Faisal are going as mere participants and not competitors.
