"I feel that is a very special honour for me because I believe this cup must come home this year. I believe we we have been given enough resources and it's up to us the management committee the technical committee and the players to battle and bring honour to this country."
"Lots of thinking have gone into our preparations regarding psychologist, the philosophy and everything."
He expressed gratitude Nana Addo for his unflinching support to the team.
"We want to thank the president for giving us all the support that we need for this exercise," Dr. Sarpong said.
President Nana Addo on Thursday hosted the Black Stars to a farewell dinner as the team is expected to pitch camp in Dubai from June 1.
