Wa Rockets FC captain, Salifu Cisse is craving for kumasi Asante Kotoko in the quarter final pairings of the MTN FA Cup.
The club’s marksman is relishing the prospect of squaring up against the competition’s record holders and title favourite ahead of Tuesday’s draw at the Alisha hotel.
The rampant forward leads the scoring chart for the second tier side but cited the nationwide appeal accorded to matches involving the Reds in any competition.
Cisse admitted to the ruthless nature of Micheal Osei’s charges in recent times but remains optimistic of his side’s progress.
The trickery forward powered Wa Rockets into the GN Bank division one league with the top scoring accolade in the Upper West regional division two league and has so far recorded six strikes for the zone I side.
Speaking to www.sportscrusader.com ahead of Tuesday’s draw for the last 8 clubs, Cisse singled out Kumasi Asante Kotoko as the club he will personally pick given the chance.
” Given the chance to pick an opponent of my choice for Wa Rockets FC, I will personally go in for Kumasi Asante kotoko. Playing against them will have a long term effect on our division one league. It will give us enough courage and motivation to face any other opponent when the second round resumes. It is the only club in my mind and I have the conviction we will be paired against kotoko”, Cisse told sportscrusader.com.
On the quality of players on board in the kotoko side, the rampant forward accepted the challenge and readies himself for a more central role if they land the in form Reds.
“At any point in time Kotoko will always be kotoko and playing against them means getting ready for the worst as a footballer or a record triumph in just 90 minutes. I am very much aware of their recent form but our current of three straight away wins means we can play without any fear in our minds”, the former Hearts Babies attacker concluded.
Salifu Cisse registered a very late equalizer deep into injury time to force a penalty shootout at the fourth round stage of the FA Cup at home to Power Sporting Club in 5-3 penalty shootout.
The hitman currently leads the scoring chart for Rockets FC and trails only star midfielder Iddrisu Nafiw on the assists providers with three to his name.
