Accra Hearts of Oak forward, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh has implored Ghanaians to support him in prayers ahead of the 2022 World Cup after his impressive performance against Switzerland on Thursday.
Barnieh was named in Black Stars’ starting XI and won the hearts of Ghanaians with his explosive performance.
Speaking after the match in the United Arab Emirates, the former U-20 star said the prayers of Ghanaian fans are crucial to his subsequent performances and that of the team at the World Cup in Qatar.
“The fans should keep on praying and support me,” he told Joy Sports.
The Black Galaxies captain also said he had a good game because he relaxed and executed all the instructions that the coaches gave him.
“It was a good game, there wasn’t pressure and I stick to what the coaches said and everything went well for me,” he added.
Mohammed Salisu and Antione Semenyo scored the goals as Ghana wrapped up their preparations ahead of the Mundial in Qatar.

Ghana will leave Abu Dhabi for Doha today. The Black Stars have been housed in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay and Barnieh will hope for more game time at the global showpiece.
