“We know it’s a tough challenge, but we’re not giving up,” Partey stated. “We’ve shown that we can compete with the best, and we’ll keep fighting until the end of the season. Every point is crucial, and we’ll give our all to stay in contention.”

The Ghanaian midfielder also praised the team’s unity and determination. “I’m proud of the team, and everyone is proud of each other. We are doing a great job and dominating many teams. Every game we play consistently, we maintain our consistency, and at the end of the day, we will get our results.”
