Accra Hearts of Oak SC legend, Ishmael Addo says It’s painful to watch his former club play in Africa club competition these days.
The former Hearts of Oak kingpin says It’s painful to watch Hearts of Oak play in Africa these days because the club was put up there in the elite clubs in Africa during their time.
He was a key figure in the Ghana Premier League during his time and helped Hearts to three Ghana Premier League titles, is dissatisfied with how his former club have declined.
“It’s painful to watch Hearts of Oak play in Africa these days,” the retired striker said in an interview with Joy Sports.
“It’s really painful because you sit back after putting the team up there. You left with the idea that they would be better than where you actually put the team but you realize that the team keeps coming down and dropping.
“Even though we had our time and left, we still have something towards the team, we still have this passion, we still want the team to achieve better than what we achieved but now they are taking a step backwards.”
Hearts of Oak SC lost 3-0 in Mali at the 26th March stadium to AS Real Bamako in their first leg of the second preliminary round of the 2022-23 CAF Confederation Cup competition.
The Phobians will host the Malian club in Ghana on coming Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium in the second leg.
