Aboubakar Ouattara is the head coach of Hearts of Oak
Accra Hearts of Oak head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, fired back at a reporter’s post-match question with a fiery response, insisting that tactics were not to blame for the result.
Hearts of Oak were held to a 1-1 draw by newly promoted side Vision FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
The result further dented Hearts of Oak’s hopes of securing the Ghana Premier League (GPL) title, as they slipped to sixth on the league table.
Frustrated by the result, Ouattara, known for his heated exchanges with the media, launched another scathing response to a reporter who suggested that Hearts of Oak were tactically outclassed by Vision FC.
“Go and take your dictionary and find the meaning of tactics. Next time, come and ask me that question,” he retorted, implying that tactics weren’t the main factor behind the result and that the reporter lacked a proper understanding of the game.
Hearts of Oak, desperately needing a win, took a first-half lead through Kelvin Osei Asibey’s header.
However, Vision FC responded after the break, equalising through Meschack Sowah Adjetey’s composed finish following sustained pressure.
The Phobians have now gone five away games without a win and have managed just one victory in their last six matches.
