Sam Yeboah Wants Hearts To Start Second Round On A Perfect Note

Striker Sam Yeboah wants to see Accra Hearts of Oak start the second round of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) on a perfect note by winning against Dreams FC.

The Phobians lie fourth on the GPL log with 26 points, two adrift of leaders Wa All Stars at the half way point of the campaign.

And Yeboah who has three goals in the GPL this season, has called for a quick start to the next round if they are to overhaul the deficit between them and those above them.

Hearts will play Dreams FC at the Accra Sports Stadium in their opening game of the second round with further games coming against Liberty Professionals (Dansoman), Aduana Stars (Accra), Hasaacas (Sekondi) and Berekum Chelsea (Accra) ahead of other encounters.

Yeboah wants to see the Phobians pick maximum points from these encounters and when done, believes it could propel them to the top from where they will build on as they chase a first league title in eight years.

“I want to see a quick start to the second round for Accra Hearts of Oak especially in the opening five games, and, if we win them all, we will be in a good position to win the ultimate at the end of the campaign,” Yeboah told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News.

“This will put a lot of pressure on those that we will play later, and, I am confident that our efforts would be crowned with success at the end of the season”.

“We have been working hard at training during this mini break and from what I have seen, I can say that we will be ready for the resumption of the league,” the experienced striker added.

Yeboah is in training with the rest of his colleagues as they continue with their preparations for the start of the second round of the GPL which has been fixed to start on the weekend of 25/26 June.

Hearts Will Fix Problems- Sam Yeboah

Following their 1-0 home loss to rivals Asante Kotoko last Monday, Hearts of Oak striker Samuel Yeboah has expressed confidence that the playing body of the club will fix their problems and return to winning ways.

The Accra based club were unlucky not to have recorded at least a draw in the week 10 encounter, conceding an own goal through goalkeeper Soulama Abdoulaye following a harmless back pass from defender Richard Akrofi.

The Phobians had a number of good chances of their own but failed to take them, losing the 103^rd meeting with their bitterest rivals by the solitary own-goal.

However, former Heart of Lions forward, Yeboah who returned from injury to start his first ever Hearts-Kotoko game, says the players will fix their inability to finish chances before this weekend’s game against Berekum Chelsea.

“We came in with the intention to win, and were dominating too but unfortunately they got a goal and everything changed,” Samuel Yeboah told the club’s official website.

“We did our best, but it is one of those things; we will try to fix the problems [we had in this game].

“I think we have another game in front of us so there is no time [to brood over the defeat]. We have to focus [our minds to it] and look forward. I know we will go and win against [Berekum] Chelsea [in our next game].

“It was not a bad day – we dominated the game, we were pushing and trying – but the goal separated the two of us. As you can see, it is not a goal that they worked for but it is one of those things; it is not like they were extraordinary. It is only unfortunate that we conceded in that manner”, he added.

Yeboah also admitted that the players have let the fans down by losing at home to Kotoko but says they will fix the problems to make the fans happy.

“We appreciate the way the fans came to support us,” he said, adding that, “We know we let them down; we are going to fix it and make sure we make them happy again.”

Sam Yeboah Targets Goal Scoring Run For Hearts

Accra Hearts of Oak striker, Sam Yeboah says he is working hard towards finding the back of the net much often for his new club.

Yeboah opened Hearts’ account for the season when he scored the lone goal in the victory over New Edubiase United in Accra, but, has not scored again since.

He scored a blank for the Phobians in their last two other games against Medeama SC at Tarkwa and in Cape Coast against Ebusua Dwarfs.

However, Yeboah told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News that he is working hard in training to get in among the goals and believes they will come with the efforts he is putting in.

He is hoping the Accra Sports Stadium will serve as another happy haunting ground for him when Hearts plays Bechem United in a Match-Day Four Ghana Premier League encounter on Sunday.

“Goal scoring is the hallmark of every good striker, and, that is also what I am working on for the benefit of the club and my career,” he said.

“I was brought here to score goals for Accra Hearts of Oak, and, this is something I am committed to doing to make my employers and fans happy at all times,” he added.

“I cannot be satisfied with my performance if I am not in among the goals,” he said, adding that, “everywhere I have gone, I have scored goals and I want it to continue with Accra Hearts of Oak”.
