Hearts of Oak legend Bernard Don Bortey believes he holds the key to the team’s success against AS Real Bamako in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday.
The Phobians needs a massive performance at the Accra Sports Stadium to turn around a 3-0 defeat suffered in Mali a fortnight ago.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Bortey pleaded with the management of the club to give him the opportunity to talk to the squad before the 3:00 kick off.
“I am not giving up because this is Hearts of Oak. I know these players don’t have the spirit to play for Hearts of Oak but I am pleading with the management to give me 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.
He continued by entreating the supporters to turn up at the Accra Sports Stadium, adding that there will be a miracle.
“We must encourage the players because that is all that they need. As for the supporters, they should come in their numbers to support the team.
“There will be a miracle on Sunday because this is Hearts of Oak,” he added.
The match is set for 15:00 GMT kickoff time at the Accra Sports Stadium.
