Assistant Coach of Accra Hearts of Oak, Hamza Obeng, has blamed his side’s defeat to city rivals Great Olympics to fatigue and tactical indiscipline.
The Mantse Derby ended in 3-0 in favour of the Great Olympics lads in week 31 of the Ghana Premier League and the gaffer blames the defeat on extensive regional travels that succumbed his players to unresponsive goals from the Dade Boys. “It was a very difficult game and we played to a better side. They were superior in the game than us especially inside the first part of the game. We had poor . The guys were down and you could see a lot of fatigue setting in my players.
Using less than a week to play 3 matches is not easy. Traveling all the way to Kumasi, Techiman, traveling back to play this game, it shows and football is scientific. Everything shows that the boys were down especially the strength, was not there”, he stressed. Obeng, therefore called on Association authority to seek alternatives for regional league games to avoid future occurrences.
“My plead is that maybe the FA, they can do something about the way we play our fixtures. My IQ is that whenever we are maybe moving to the southern part, at least you can finish all your games before you get back because is costing a lot. The guys did their best although they were tactically indiscipline in the game and the opponent too, they were superior they played very well and were able to implement what the thought at training”, he noted.
