By Eustace Nii AKWEI, Accra
Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has acknowledged the significant pressure on his team to avoid relegation to the second tier of Ghanaian football.
The Phobians currently sit just two points above the relegation zone after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium on matchday 31 of the Ghana Premier League.
Steven Mukwala’s brace sealed Hearts’ 11th defeat of the campaign.
Speaking to StarTimes after the match, Ouattara emphasized the importance of his team securing as many points as possible from their remaining fixtures
“Personally, I am not under pressure. I am not under pressure but the team is under pressure,” he said.
“We are under pressure because we need more points to survive. We need the points in the remaining games.
“We don’t have any choices.
“To get the points, we must score.”
Hearts face a crucial juncture with three remaining fixtures that could define their season, as they prepare to take on Nations FC, Great Olympics, and Bechem United
