Twum told the Graphic Sports in an interview last Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Twum registered his name in the history books after becoming the best player of the tournament which was re-introduced after years of inactivity.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about Ghana&#8217;s chances against Uganda, the 19-year-old was hopeful of a win for the Stars despite admitting the game will be tough.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, noted that with the right preparation, the team possess the qualities to defeat Uganda at their own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana face a must-win match against the Cranes of Uganda as they pursue qualification to next year&#8217;s global showpiece in Russia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both;
