Dwarfs coach J.E Sarpong has urged Hearts of Oak to show support to their beleaguered keeper Soulama Abdoulaye after his howler against Kotoko.

The keeper cast a figure of a crestfallen person after his error gifted his former employers all three points and for Sarpong, the Burkinabe requires massive support.

“If you look at the match they played you don’t blame the goalkeeper,” he told Asempa Sports

 “Maybe there was a bad communication between him and his defender or maybe he wanted to give out a pass to another defender but he should have recognized that Dauda Mohammed is coming but he was unfortunate because he was solely concentrating on the ball and he missed to clear the ball out but it doesn’t mean he is a bad goalkeeper.”

“To me I will play him in my team because what he did does not mean he is a bad goalkeeper because if you fail to play him you are rather shutting down his career and we should remember he is the national team goalkeeper for the Burkina Faso national team.”

“It a matter of psyching him up and he will not repeat his mistakes again because goalkeepers learn from their mistakes and am humbly appealing to the supporters of Accra Hearts of Oak to forgive him because they should remember he played for Kotoko and moved to Hearts of Oak and there is no possibility that he will take bribe from Kotoko and for us to promote our football we should take out bribery allegations.”
