"We need to survive," coach Aboubakar Ouattara says, speaking about the threat of relegation.

Hearts of Oak's head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, has stated that his squad must struggle to stay in the league.

The manager was overjoyed after his team's 1-0 Ghana Premier League victory over Nations FC last Friday.

The Phobians moved up out of the league table's relegation zone due to that victory.

After the match, Coach Aboubakar Ouattara told StarTimes that his side had to work hard to stay in the Premier League.

"The boys are doing everything in our power to solve the family's difficulty.

"We must endure. "I can only say that," stated Coach Aboubakar Ouattara.

Hearts of Oak will play Great Olympics in a challenging match next weekend in the Ghana Premier League.

Both sides are in it for the three points and are willing to risk relegation.
