Hearts of Oak legend, Don Bortey believes the current players of the club lack the spirit to play for the club.
The Phobians suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat to the Malian side in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederations Cup.
The Phobians will be looking to overturn the tie when they host AS Real Bamako in the return fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
In an interview with Asempa FM, the former Hearts of Oak star was of the opinion current players lack the spirit to play for the club.
“I am not giving up because this is Hearts of Oak. I know these players don’t have the spirit to play Hearts of Oak but I am pleading with the management to give me the access to speak to the players”
“We did it against St. Georges in Obuasi and I will ensure we repeat that on Sunday against ASR Bamako”
