Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Hearts of Oak faced another setback as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Legon Cities in the Ghana Premier League week 27 fixture.<\/b><\/p>\n

However, what caught the attention of many was coach Abubakar Ouattara\u2019s revelation of the challenges the team encountered off the pitch.<\/p>\n

In a post-match confrontation with a section of the supporters, Ouattara found himself compelled to address their concerns about the team\u2019s recent poor performance. The fans, evidently disappointed with the team\u2019s string of losses, stayed behind after the match to express their frustrations.<\/p>\n

Approaching the disgruntled supporters, Ouattara appealed for their patience and understanding, emphasising the limited resources at his disposal. \u201cThese are the materials I have. I do not have any players anywhere else so I have to work with them. So be patient and hear me out,\u201d he implored.<\/p>\n

However, what perhaps struck a chord with many was Ouattara\u2019s revelation about the team\u2019s pre-match conditions. \u201cYesterday at the hotel, we did not have electricity or water,\u201d he disclosed, shedding light on the challenges faced by the team even before stepping onto the pitch.<\/p>\n

With the loss, Hearts have now only managed to gain three points from their last five games. With 35 points, Hearts of Oak fall to 11th place in the standings, five points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

With Hearts of Oak\u2019s next home game against Accra Lions looming, the team will be looking to bounce back from their recent setbacks and regain their winning form.<\/p>\n
