Hearts Fired Up By the Poor Treatment

The management, technical team and the entire playing body of Hearts of Oak have unanimously declared their battle readiness in their cracking game with stade Malian notwithstanding poor reception accorded them by the host club.

This was made known to Space FM in a telephone interview with the officials and some players of the Club. The team manger Mr. Shaban Quaye told Space Supersport that morale is very high in camp. He denied speculations that some of the players were not happy about the inclusion of Bernard Don Bortey in the team. He said the players were rather yearning to see Bortey in the team.

On his part Ablade Morgan said he would be fully fit for the game tomorrow. He added that the team is highly insulated against the psychological warfare embarked by the host, which culminated in the man-handling of Head Coach, Ernst Middndorp and other team officials.

According to Peace Fm?s Dan Kwaku Yeboah who is in Mali with the Team, the Phobians are in such high spirit and is convinced the Malians are in for a match tomorrow.

The match kicks off at mudibo Keita Sports Stadium tomorrow at 1800GMT.
