By Lukman MUMIN, Accra

Head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Aboubakar Ouattara has charged his players to remain focused after back-to-back victories in the Ghana Premier League.

The Phobians pipped Vision FC last Friday at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium after striker Mawuli Wayo netted the only goal in the Accra derby.

The victory comes exactly a week after the Rainbow Club had travelled to Tarkwa to beat title-chasers Medeama SC.

“I think we need to focus on every match, every match, every single match is important for Hearts of Oak. That’s why if we are disciplined, we are focused, I think it is better for us to gather the points,” the Hearts of Oak coach said.

He continued, “Every team who are playing Hearts of Oak is preparation is double. They have another motivation, they have another determination against Hearts of Oak, it is real. The playing body and the technical team to be serious, take every match as final because the people who are coming is coming with another motivation,” he added

Hearts of Oak have been under pressure under their Ivorian manager following a turbulent start to the campaign.

However, the fallen giants are slowly recovering as they moved to fourth-place on the Premier League table after 11 matches.

The former African champions will travel to Tamale to face Karela United in their next game.
