Aboubakar Ouattara, coach of Hearts of Oak, is maintaining his composure before the team's match against Legon Cities in the Ghana Premier League's penultimate round.
On Sunday, matchday 33 of the domestic top flight will see the Phobians play demoted Legon Cities at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The Ghanaian powerhouses are presently ranked fifth in the Ghana Premier League standings with 52 points.
The Phobians, who are in fifth place, just outside the top four, need all three points as well as assistance from other outcomes to remain competitive.
Speaking before the game, Ouattara revealed that his team is getting ready for the highly anticipated match and urged the players to concentrate.
We are getting ready to take on Legon Cities because they have been upsetting all of the league's major clubs. Everyone's attention is on this game. "Oh," he said.

The Ghanaian government pays the Black Stars technical team's backlog of salaries.
The Ghanaian government has paid all unpaid payments to present and former Black Stars technical staff members, marking a significant step in enhancing professionalism and confidence in Ghanaian football.
The program, supported by Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams' Ministry for Sports and Recreation, carries on a long-standing pledge made by the former president John Dramani Mahama's administration to advance fairness and openness in the sports industry.
Long periods had been spent without compensation for coaches who worked with the national team during important qualifiers and tournaments.
In addition to assistant coaches George Boateng, Didi Dramani, David Duncan, and Maxwell Konadu, the compensation package also includes payments to former head coaches Chris Hughton and C.K. Akonnor.
Payments for arrears accrued between October 2024 and March 2025 were also given to the current technical team, which is headed by Otto Addo.
In order to guarantee a just and open payment procedure, this decision came after a thorough audit and interagency coordination.
The Sports Minister claims that the initiative is more than just debt relief; it is a sign of respect for national service and a step toward creating a more professional and accountable sports system.
In the future, the ministry intends to establish a National Sports Fund to guarantee consistent pay and financial security for athletes nationwide.
