Hearts of Oak legend Mohammed Polo has taken a swipe at coach Martin Koopman following an attack on his own players.
The Dutch gaffer launched a shocking tirade targeted at his own players when the Phobians shared the spoils with Dreams FC in week 4 of the Ghana Premier League.
Koopman asserted the Ghanaian giants have 'no striker' following their 0-0 draw against Dreams FC last Sunday.
But the former Ghana international in an interview with Accra-based Happy FM called on the coach to address the goal scoring problem than to blame players.
“The coach wants to apportion blame to the players. In football, it is not only strikers that score goals, strikers are finishers but it depends on how they are feed during game”
“If the positioning and passing are not good, it is the duty of the coach to make a way for the goalscoring. The team are struggling to create chances, and the little that they are able to create also go waste. So you can’t fault the striker alone because strikers are not the only players on the field responsible for scoring” he said.
The Phobians drew blank against the CAF Confederation Cup campaigners at the Accra Sports Stadium to heap pressure on the Dutchman.
The Ghanaian powerhouse ae just above the drop zone after amassing just four points from four games.
Hearts have won once, drawn once and lost twice amid a torrid start to the 2023-23 Ghana Premier League campaign.
Hearts of Oak are away to Heart of Lions in the week 5 of the Ghana Premier League this weekend.
