The coach of the Senior National Team of Ghana, Black Stars has encouraged Kumasi Asante Kotoko over their encounter with Etoile Du Sahel of Tunisia.

The two clubs are set to face off in the first round of the CAF Champions League at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday .

Speaking on Angel FM, Coach Kwesi Appiah, the former player and legend for the Porcupine Warriors has stimulated Kotoko to do whatever it takes to win the game and if possible, score more goals to extend their chances when they play the return leg in Tunis.

‘’The CAF Champions League is sometimes difficult and Etoile Du Sahel are also a very experienced side and playing at home, Asante Kotoko have to do everything possible to ensure victory and to achieve this it will be important everyone puts in his best.

‘’Kotoko should also try to get a wide margin win here so to make the second leg encounter less difficult".

He added that the current Kotoko squad is very huge and the players will have to be consistent but he alarmed that playing against the North Africans takes time to warm into games therefore the fans should be patient and cheer the boys on when the going gets tough.

‘’The fans have to be patient even if the going gets tough so that the players will be encouraged to put up their best.’’

The last time Asante Kotoko, two time winners of the CAF Champions League participated was in 2015. Kotoko qualified from the first round preliminary stage 4-3 on aggregate against Kano Pillars. The first leg ended 3-2 in favor of the Nigerians before Kotoko turned the table around by putting 2 goals past Pillars.
