No Player Is Sabotaging Coach Sarpong

Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs defender, Kingsley Nteng has rebuffed suggestions there are saboteurs within the team playing down the relevance of coach J.E Sarpong since gaining promotion from the 2014/15 GN Bank division one league season.

 

Head coach J.E Sarpong after match week 2 defeat to New Edubiase at Obuasi accused his players of playing woefully in a bid get him sacked but he will advise himself immediately before the axe falls on his head.

The former Accra Academy physical education teacher, nicknamed ‘Shapiro’ in his post match interview after defeat to Edubiase said, “as for me I don’t supervise losses, after two defeats if we don’t win against Hearts in match week 3  then I will advise my self unlike Jose Mourinho at Chelsea before he received the sack.

 

But the right back, Nteng who was very impressive in his sides goalless draw against Hearts denied any saboteurs in camp but rather committed players focused on keeping the ‘Abontoabontoa’ club in the premier league.

 

He said, “there are no saboteurs in the camp and no one is getting coach Sarpong sacked. We are all committed to ensure survival in the league and after picking up our first point of the season against Hearts we believe things are going to change now and get better.”

We Played For A Draw - Hearts

Kenichi Yatshusashi, head coach of Accra Hearts of Oak has admitted his side travelled to Cape Coast in their match week 3 game against Dwarfs targeting just a point (draw).

 

The Phobians went into the clash against the ‘Abontoabontoa’ Las as favourite to win after a blistering start to life in the Ghana premier league under the Japanese-American gaffer.

 

Hearts failed to find the back of the net for the first time this season in a closely contested match but coach Yatshusashi was satisfied with the goalless draw.

 

During his post match interview, Kenichi mentioned the result was not three points dropped but a point gained.

 

He said, “we definitely came here at least to record a draw but when we score a goal we will take all the three points should it be available. What happened in the past is done as our focus was on this game.”

 

Hearts next game is at their favourite Accra sports stadium in match week 4 against Bechem United.

I"m Always Under Pressure - Kenichi

Accra Hearts of Oak Japanese-American head coach, Kenichi Yatshusashi has admitted he’s always under pressure ever since he signed for the Phobians.

 

The Japanese-American has started life overly well in the Ghana premier league to the astonishment of the bookmakers who tagged him as favourite to lose his job before the end of the season.

But Hearts are joint top with Wa Allstars with no defeat in three games and this has seen the pendulum swing in their favour and been made favourite to win the league title that has eluded them since 2008 and this Keni has labelled brings immense pressure.

 

He said, “I’m under pressure all the time and the impressive performance from my players suggests we can’t afford to fall apart.”

 

Hearts dropped first point of the season as they were held up a goalless draw game against Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs.

Match Report: Dwarfs 0 Hearts 0

Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs failed to be the first side to score against Hearts in the 2015/16 Ghana premier league season as the two teams played out a goalless draw game in match week 3.

 

Hearts started the brightest of the two teams after hitting the first goal in target from Foovi Aguidi but was a feeble as was easily gathered by goal keeper, Frank Andoh.

Both defense look disciplined and ready to do battle as either attackers were stifled out to just a pocket full of chances at goal.

 

The best chance of the first half fell to the home side, Dwarfs Isaac Kwain who shot across the face of the yawning net.

Hearts has four consecutive corners from dangerous play at the Dwarfs goal before the “Abontoabontoa” boys gained one but failed to punish the home side with any of them.

Goalkeepers Soulama Aboubakar and Frank Andoh were spectators for large chunk of the game.

 

Dwarfs who had lost their first two games of the season against Dreams and New Edubiase started this game with division one goal king Bismark Luiqman starting from the bench, that was the first time this was happening this season.

 

Isaac Mensah tested goal keeper, Frank Andoh from 20-yards to goal in the dying minutes of the game but the Andoh pulled an excellent save to deny the Phobians and send the home fans into rapturous applauds of appreciation.

 

 

The resulting corner kick was wasted and did suggest neither side will have all the three points as Hearts continued their unbeaten run in the season whilst Dwarfs win their first point of the season.
