The Phobians boss has insisted that his charges did a wonderful job against RTU despite the absence of several key players
Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu has praised his players despite sharing the spoils goalless with Real Tamale United in Ghana Premier League matchday seventeen at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale on Sunday.
The Phobians came into the game on the back of a painful derby defeat to Great Olympics and were hoping to return to winning ways.
However, they missed several key players through injuries and suspensions and had to rely on makeshift formation.
“It was a very nice game. You could see that [although] people were thinking that without central defenders we cannot play, but I believed in my boys and we played well,” Boadu said.
“Already, I’ve said that I’m building an all-round team; if we don’t have Kwaku, Kwame is there, so this shows that the players out there can also bring out their best. It was a very nice game,” he added.
Boadu also rued missed chances and believes it is a worry since it will go a long way to affect them.
“Being a coach it’s a worry for me because if you get such a chance and you misuse it, when the opponent gets the same chance they will use it to punish me,” he said.
Hearts, who now sit eighth on the log with 24 points, will host Asante Kotoko in the final game of the first round at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday as they hope to reduce the twelve-point gap.
