“When I said I would die for Beşiktaş I do not think everyone got what I meant,” Opare told BJK Tv.
“The fans make big sacrifices to come to the games, they give us their all and the atmosphere they create lifts us and makes us play better.
“What I meant is that when you are playing in front of that kind of passion you want to fight to the very last drop of blood for the fans.”
