The players are motivated by the name Accra Hearts of Oak because everybody wants to make an impact in the game and prove that they are also worthy to play for Heart of Lions. So, Hearts of Oak are a big club, but I believe that on Sunday we are also going to do our best to prove something," he told Heart of Lions TV.
