Nebojsa Kapor says Hearts of Oak's mental toughness carried them through a rough patch and back to winning ways in the Ghana Premier League.
Hearts of Oak are showing the kind of mental steel that title contenders need in the Ghana Premier League. Coach Nebojsa Kapor says his squad never lost belief, even when three straight matches failed to produce a victory.
The Phobians dropped points in three consecutive league outings, losing one and drawing two. They answered with a 1-0 win over Port City FC, and Kapor credits the turnaround to the group's mentality. By his account, confidence, energy and the mood in the dressing room stayed strong throughout, and he described his players as very tough in the mental department.
That resilience will be tested again on Saturday, October 17, when Hearts face Vision FC in a Matchday 7 clash at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown. Hearts sit second in the table with 11 points, three behind leaders Medeama, so every result keeps the pressure on at the top.
Vision FC arrive in a much tougher spot. They are 15th with six points and are chasing an end to a five-game winless streak that includes three draws and two defeats. Hearts will be keen to turn their positive momentum into another solid display and stay close to the summit.
