‘We needed the 3 points’ – Hearts of Oak coach Aboubakar Ouattara reveals motivation behind Chelsea victory

The head coach of Hearts of Oak, Aboubakar Ouattara, has commended his players for their 3-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea on Wednesday afternoon in the Ghana Premier League.

Speaking in a post-match interview, the Ivorian tactician said his team went all out for the win because they needed the three points at all costs.

"I expected to win, but three goals—that's football. You can win 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, and that's it. We needed the three points," Coach Aboubakar Ouattara said.

Not surprised by the big winning margin, the Hearts of Oak coach mentioned that his players are often unable to win games because of mental issues.

He said he is working on the psyche of his players to get them to win more games.

"Our issue is a mental problem. The boys are starting to understand because there are some people who want to pollute the minds of some players," Coach Aboubakar Ouattara bemoaned.

After the win in Berekum, Hearts of Oak will now return to Accra to prepare for a big game against Aduana Stars.
