Gold Stars trail league leaders Medeama (45 points) by three points ahead of the Hearts clash and in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Oti Manu believes beating Lions has set the team up very well for Sunday, March 1’s game.
“It was very crucial…It was very difficult to win an away match. We are the best club in the (Ghana) Premier League in home matches but we should do well if we want to win the league.”
“Fritz Schmid has done refresher training courses with the players since he arrived last two months…so psychologically, the team was up to the task to win that match [against Lions]. We are really ready to welcome Hearts of Oak on Sunday” Oti Manu said.
After sacking Frimpong Manso in the early part of the season, Gold Stars appointed Swiss head coach Fritz Schmid a couple of months ago.
