Hearts of Oak Board member, Frank Nelson is confident the Phobians can defend their Ghana Premier League title this season despite a shaky start on Sunday.
Hearts of Oak were held to a goalless draw against Legon Cities in their opening fixture of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season at the Accra Sports Stadium.
It was the fourth season of the row that the Phobians have failed to record a win in their opening game of the season.
Frank Nelson believes that the team’s slow start to the season will not derail their chances of winning the league.
"If I want to take you back from where we started last season, Kotoko were leading us with 4 points at a point for weeks and weeks and we started very badly but eventually we turned the tables and won the league”, he said in an interview.
“So, first game with one point, I don't think it's a reason for our supporters to complain, yes I understand the supporters' anger because they wanted good results and a winning side especially with Kotoko leading us."
"We are so much focused, there are more games to play, I think we should be patient, we never say die and at the end of the day, we will turn the table, and defend the league." He ended.
