Hearts of Oak coach Aboubakar Ouattara
Accra Hearts of Oak's head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara opened up about his team being under pressure to avoid relegation from the Ghana Premier League.
The Phobians are only two points above the relegation zone following their 2-0 defeat to Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.
Steven Mukwala scored twice in that game, making it the 11th time Hearts of Oak lost this season.
After the game, Ouattara told StarTimes that it's important for Hearts to get the maximum points in their next matches.
"I am not under pressure. I am not under pressure, but the team is under pressure," he said.
"We are under pressure because we need more points to survive. We need the points in the remaining games. We don't have any other choice. To get the points, we must score."
Hearts of Oak's last three games are against title contenders Nations FC and FC Samartex at home and an away match against Dreams FC on the final day.
