'Medeama are strong, but we must win' â?? Frimpong Manso rallies Nations FC ahead of title test

Nations FC head coach Frimpong Manso has struck a confident and defiant tone ahead of his side’s Ghana Premier League clash against in-form leaders Medeama SC, insisting his team must believe in victory despite the quality of their opponents.

Speaking ahead of Friday’s encounter at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, Manso acknowledged the strength and experience of the reigning table-toppers, but stressed that the unique demands of league football — particularly at home — give his side every reason to be optimistic.

“Medeama are a very good team and they had an excellent pre-season, including a tour to Abidjan,” Manso said. “Looking at their current position, their squad remains intact and very experienced.”

However, the Nations FC boss was quick to point out that pedigree alone does not decide outcomes in the domestic league.

“The league is a different challenge altogether,” he noted. “We have not lost at home this season. Despite the experience they bring, we are determined to go for a win in this match. It may look difficult, but we must believe in ourselves.”

Nations FC have built a reputation for resilience at home this season, turning the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex into a stronghold where several visiting sides have failed to pick up maximum points. Manso believes that familiarity with their surroundings could prove decisive against a Medeama side chasing another step toward the title.

“We are not focusing on the opponent; we are focusing on where we are playing and how to take advantage of that,” he explained. “This is our home ground, where we train every day, and we must make the best use of it.”

Friday’s fixture pits Nations FC’s formidable home form against Medeama’s relentless title charge, setting the stage for a compelling contest.
