Accra, Jan. 20, GNA – Fatawu Mohammed,
Captain of Accra Hearts of Oak, has expressed his delight about the team’s
revival over the past few matches ahead of the clash against arch-rivals Kumasi
Asante Kotoko.
Hearts displayed a remarkable performance
against Liberty Professionals as they defeated them 2-1, having come back from
a goal down to secure all three points in a match-day five encounter played at
the Dansoman Carl Reindorf Park last Sunday.
According to Fatawu the start of the season
was certainly going to be difficult especially after the long break, but was
elated with the teams’ progress.
“The start of a new seasons was definitely
not going to be easy, but as the season progresses every player would peak and
hope we would get the required results,” he said at a post press conference.
Commenting on the performance of some new
players who have added a spark to the Hearts team, Mohamed said: ”It’s all
about team work and any player that joins known ones have to be a team player
to deliver and not any individualistic play.”
”We’re taking every match as it comes and
after the Liberty clash we are going to the drawing board to correct our
mistakes and prepare for Kotoko,” Fatawu said ahead of Sunday’s match.
Hearts of Oak are ninth on the league log
with seven points while Kotoko are placed sixth with nine points.
