He noted that teams see playing Hearts of Oak as a unique challenge, approaching games with added motivation and determination.

“Every team that plays against Hearts of Oak doubles their preparation. They come with extra motivation and determination, and it is real.

The playing body and the technical team must be serious and treat every match like a final.”
