Former Hearts of Oak captain, Amankwah Mireku has said that he will be very shocked if the club fails to defend the Ghana Premier League title.
The Phobians are yet to record a win after drawing in all three games, scoring only two goals thus far.
Agitations has engulfed supporters making them feel their club can not compete in the season’s top flight league as they have begun slowly.
Reacting to this, Amankwa Mireku says he will be shocked if Hearts of Oak fail to defend the league trophy looking at the team they have now.
“What will shock and pain me is Hearts of Oak failing to retain the league title because the players that won last season’s league, most of them are there still apart of the team. Apart from Afutu, are the rest not still there?” He quizzed
“So if we are talking about the league, which team has consistency than Hearts of Oak? So the have to win the league”.
Amankwa Mireku referenced their years as players when the Phobians were dominant in the local league saying “In 2000 it was same case that made us win the league consecutively, because the core of the team was around. So I see Hearts of Oak having their first 11 still available hence I don’t see why they can’t win the league”.
“If they don’t win the league, personally i will be surprised and I will be deeply shocked. Now that the foundation has been firm and there is consistency they must win retain the league trophy”.
