Aboubakar Ouattara is the head coach of Hearts of Oak
Accra Hearts of Oak head coach Aboubakar Ouattara has dismissed concerns over his team’s style of play, insisting that securing three points is his ultimate priority.
Ouattara’s response followed his side’s hard-fought victory over Medeama at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, April 6, 2025, where he questioned the consistency of criticism from sections of the media.
Raphael Amponsah’s screamer was enough to hand the Phobians their first win in four games. However, most fans were left unimpressed as they criticized the team’s performance.
The Ivorian was quizzed about his team’s style of play after the final whistle, but he hit back, stating he would rather win matches than earn praise for performances.
“Sometimes, I ask myself, what do you [journalists] want? When we win, the performance is not good. When we play well and lose, then you criticize us. Tell me the truth: what do you want?
“As for me, I need three points. If I get the three points, all this commentary is not my concern. The table is not about performance; we want three points,” he said.
The win sent Hearts of Oak to fourth place, six points behind leaders Asante Kotoko, who are on 46 points after 25 games.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak will face newly promoted Vision FC in their next game on Friday, April 11, 2025.
