CAF Champions League: Dan Quaye reveals how Hearts of Oak can beat WAC

Published on: 22 October 2021

Hearts of Oak legend, Dan Quaye has disclosed why his outfit can beat Wydad Athletic Club in the second leg tie of the 2021/22 CAF Champions League qualifiers.

The Phobians go into the reverse leg with a 1-0 win advantage courtesy of Isaac Mensah's strike at the Accra Sports stadium last Sunday.

The return encounter will take place at the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca at 19:00GMT.

"I can say that the guys have done well so far because the experience level of the WAC players is ahead and they have been in the Champions League continuously. The only thing I have for my boys is that football is teamwork. When you have the ball at a place you find it difficult to find a player at the right place and give him the pass," he said.

"There was some similar errors in our forward on Sunday. The North Africans like playing speed but they find it difficult when you slow the game. It is good to win the first game at home with a 1 – 0 scoreline but still, there are some faults.

"The coach should mount some strategy that will help them. For now, we are leading by a goal to none and I won’t back him to play defensive game. Defensive game will not help us but he should let the boys slow the game whenever they have the ball and avoid the long passes.

Quaye added, "They should relax and possess the ball. That one will help us than playing speed game with the Moroccans."

"I beg the strikers. If they have the ball at the wrong place where they find it difficult to score then they should find a player at a comfortable place to score because football is teamwork.

"I am praying that the favour will come on our side."
