Ghana Premier League: Didi Dramani anticipates physical battle at Berekum Chelsea

Hearts of Oak will be on the road to Berekum as guests of Chelsea in a tough week six fixture at the Golden City Park on Sunday.

The Phobians are unbeaten in five matches, collecting nine points on the road to Chelsea who have a paltry four points out of a possible 12 with an outstanding game. The clash will be a reunion for Berekum Chelsea coach Samuel Boadu who guided Hearts of Oak to five trophies in two-and-a-half seasons.

Hearts coach, Mas Ud Didi Dramani in a pre-match interview expressed belief that, the club is ready for the physical battle.

Hearts should always expect tough battle against Chelsea

“I think that you can always expect a tough encounter when playing games at Berekum and more especially against Berekum Chelsea and Hearts of Oak,” Didi Dramani told Hearts TV.

“We anticipate a very tough encounter but I think that we have prepared mentally and with some resilience and positive mindset and we will go and try our very best and try to win.

“I think that physicality is part of the development of every unique squad [and] the sport is a physical sport and we anticipate that [and] we will have the attitude to deal with it when it comes to the duel.

“I think that we have been positively involved in all our games and sometimes it’s the outcome that we get but I think that judging from the total evaluation I think that we are on the right path.”

A win for Hearts of Oak will take them to 12 points with Berekum Chelsea needing a win badly to climb out of the bottom half.
