Head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Aboubakar Ouattara has stated his
opposition to mediocrity that has threatened the club’s status as the biggest
club in Ghana.
The Ivorian trainer won his first match in charge of the club when he superintended over a a 3-0 win over Real Tamale United (RTU) on Sunday.
A brace of goals from Hamza Issa and a third by Enoch Asubonteng wrapped up a comprehensive win.
During the pitch side interview, the interviewer described Hearts as one of the biggest club in Ghana. Ouattara promptly interrupted him to correct what he thought was wrong.
Interviewer: ''Hearts of Oak is one of the biggest clubs in Ghana…”
Coach Aboubakar Ouattara (interrupts): ''Not in Ghana. One of the biggest clubs in Africa but the people are bringing this team to a lower level.''
Ouattara stated his abhorrence for any such performance or behavior that does not meet the club's high standards.
''I can never accept that. We are going to try to bring Hearts of Oak to their past (successful) era.
''But only hard work will make that possible. Nothing else.''
Hearts are ninth on the league table with 24 points and are five points from fourth place.
The Phobians are also eight points from league leaders, Samartex 96 - who face Aduana Stars on Monday.
