Aboubakar Ouattara, the head coach of Hearts of Oak, wants his team to win as many points as possible when they play Dreams FC in the seventh week of the Ghana Premier League.
At the Tuba AstroTurf in Kasoa on Sunday, the Phobians will play struggling Dreams FC in an attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Hearts of Oak have gone undefeated in their previous four games, while Dreams FC has yet to win this season.
Ouattara said during his pregame press conference that his team plays every game to win.
It's Hearts of Oak, you know. When we engage in combat, our primary goal is to score as many points as possible. Do you get it?
And we're battling for the most points possible. We are not undervaluing anyone, though. We will not undervalue anyone. We hold them in high regard. We are aware of their strength.
Before the match, Dreams FC was in second place with just three points from six games, while Hearts of Oak was in ninth place with eight points in the Ghana Premier League standings.

Akonnor discusses the importance of youth development and the potential for reviving Black Stars.
Charles Kwabena Akunnor, the former coach of the Black Stars, has underlined the necessity for Ghana to give youth football development more priority rather than concentrating only on the senior national team.
Although the audience holds the Black Stars in high respect, especially when they play well, Akunnor emphasized that other facets of the sport also need consideration.
He voiced worries that in order for football to succeed in the future in the nation, sporting authorities must make more investments in developing young talent.
The former Accra Hearts of Oak coach argued that the current emphasis on the Black Stars has contributed to the underwhelming performance of other national teams and called for the creation of youth development programs.
"I believe we pay too much attention to the Black Stars. We have neglected the growth of our young people. We can improve, and we must act immediately and drastically," he told BBC Africa.
Akunnor's remarks followed the Black Stars' heartbreaking 2-0 defeat to Sudan in the Libyan 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying round.
