Hearts of Oak will defend league title – Frank Nelson

Hearts of Oak board member Frank Nelson is confident his side will defend the Ghana Premier League title at the end of the season.

The Phobians began their title defence with a 1-1 draw against Legon Cities at the Accra Sports stadium last Sunday.

Despite a frustrating start to the season, Nelson believes Hearts will bounce back to winning ways and win the league title.

“If I want to take you back from where we started last season, Kotoko were leading us with four points at a point for weeks and weeks and we started very badly but eventually we turned the tables and won the league.

“So, first game with one point, I don’t think it’s a reason for our supporters to complain. Yes, I understand the supporters’ anger because they wanted good results and a winning side especially with Kotoko leading us,” he told Akoma 87.9 FM.

“We are so much focused, there are more games to play. I think we should be patient.

“We never say die and at the end of the day, we will turn the table, and defend the league,” he concluded.
