Edward Odoom clashes with journos over forward Joseph Esso

Hearts of Oak interim head coach, Edward Odoom, lost his cool with journalists after he was asked to explain how had been using Joseph Esso in his team.

The question came from journalists after Hearts’ goalless draw at Aduana Stars last Sunday in Week 9 of the Ghana Premier League.

The draw was the third one the team was registering in the season and the fact that the Phobians had not scored for a second straight match raised questions from reporters over how Odoom was using Esso in the team’s attack and the coach did not take too kindly to the questions.

“Do you know Esso’s best position? Football is about tactics. We are playing with three strikers and we are using him as one of those strikers. That’s all.”

Hearts have scored only 6 goals in the 9 league matches played this season and Odoom admits that they will have to start putting their chances away.

“We worked on it before the match and we are still working on that aspect of our team. Things will improve for us with time. In the match, we hit the bar twice but we could not get the goal.

We needed the points badly because we had drawn with AshGold in the previous match but then, we could not the result.”

Hearts face Bechem United at the Accra Sports Stadium in Week 10 of the Ghana Premier League.
