Hearts starts training

Champions club, Accra Hearts begun training on Monday ahead of a difficult year as the team prepares for the CAF African Champions' League, the domestic league and the CHALCA Top Four League.

Head Coach, Herbert Addo, told the GNA Sports in Accra that the first three weeks would focus on conditional training regimen and technical tuition and later tactical discipline for two weeks.

The team plans to use the Ghana League Clubs Association's (GHALCA) top four competition to assess its readiness to conquer Africa. The coach was evasive on which new players would feature for the Phobians saying that management would make it public on Tuesday.

"I have propose four top players but management has the final word. Hearts is the best the club in the country, it already has good players, and therefore there would be no need in recruiting a lot more", Coach Addo said.

He said recruiting more players would only over stretched the club both financially and technically, "everybody wants to play for Hearts, this is where we have to be very careful".
