Asante Kotoko captain, Samba O'Neil, has admitted that they are under pressure but insists they are ready to make themselves proud against Kwara United.
The Ghana FA Cup champions will host the Nigerian side in the first leg of the preliminary round of games on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Most of the Kotoko players will be tasting their first-ever continental competition, and O’Niel knows the challenge and pressure that confronts the two-time African champions.
“My mentality, as you know, I am always ready, and it’s another opportunity for me to make things different," he told the club's media.
"We are confident, and we are training very hard for this opportunity, and we know most of us, it’s our first time to play in this kind of competition, so we have to go all out to make a name.
“When you play for a big club like Kotoko, you have to know that everything you do, they will expect you to win, so whether you play well or badly, you have to win.
“So the pressure will always be there, so we always need to win to make them happy, so that’s all," he added.
Kick off for the game is scheduled at 15:00 GMT.
