Hearts of Oak players had psychological problems – Aboubakar Ouattara

Hearts of Oak coach, Aboubakar Ouattara has attributed their recent challenges to to psychological issues.

He said this in a post-game interview after his side recorded a 3-0 win over Berekum Chelsea on Wednesday at the Golden City Park to end their poor run of form.

Hearts had lost five of six league games in the lead-up to the Chelsea tie after making a fine start in the second half of the 2023-2024 Ghana Premier League season.

However, goals from Hamza Issah, Linda Mtange and Kassim Cisse sealed the big win over Chelsea that former Hearts head coach, Samuel Boadu, coaches.

In his post-game interview, Ouattara blamed Hearts stuttering form on mental challenges his players had to deal with.

“I expected to win. It’s football; we can win by 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 but we needed the points,” he told StarTimes.

“I told you we had a mental problem. We have some people who want to pollute the minds of the boys…it was a psychological problem,” he added.

Hearts of Oak will now face Aduana Stars in the Matchday 30 games at the Accra Sports Stadium on May 17.
