Accra Hearts of Oak number one goalkeeper Soulama Abdulaye has urged his team-mates to focus on the hereafter now that Kenichi Yatsuhashi has left as coach of the club.
The Phobians, on Monday, reached a mutual settlement with the Japanese-American who agreed to cancel his two year contract with the club as the first team coach.
And Soulama who is one of the senior players at the club, has called for cool heads among his colleagues as they prepare for the resumption of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) second round.
“Coaches come and go and so we (the players) should put Coach Keni’s departure from the club behind us and, rather focus on the task ahead if we want to achieve our ambitions,” Soulama told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News.
Coach Keni guided Hearts to finish the first round of the GPL, fourth on the table with 26 points, just two points behind the leaders, Wa All Stars, and, this Soulama says they must look to build on.
“We fished the first round of the season on a high note, and, there is every indication that we can do even better in the second round if we put in a lot more effort, and, this should be the agenda for the rest of the campaign;” the Burkina Faso international said.
Hearts will play Dreams FC at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday in their first game of the second round, and the experienced goalkeeper is calling for a win for the club.
“The three points on Sunday against Dreams FC cannot be compromised, and we should go all out and collect them through our collective effort,” he added.
Soulama also urged his colleagues to support the ideas of the new technical head as he takes charge of affairs, and, believes that with this support, Accra Hearts of Oak will attain success at the end of the season.
