Ex-Hearts of Oak defender, Kalilu Dramani says the Phobians need mature and mentally tough players if they have to regain their glory days.
Dramani who featured for Hearts of Oak for three seasons before crossing carpet to rivals, Kotoko, has warned the continental club masters against signing low quality players.
He made the assertions on Kumasi based Akoma fm.
“Hearts of Oak need mature players to thrive.”
“We don’t bring in any player at all to wear Hearts of Oak jersey.”
“If you are not mentally strong, you can’t play for Hearts of Oak.”
“Hearts of Oak need players who are mentally mature to stand any form of pressure.” Kalilu Dramani told Akoma fm
Kalilu Dramani started his career from Tarkwa Gold Stars in Ghana’s Division One football where he endeared himself to the Tarkwa folks.
After some breathtaking display for Tarkwa Gold Stars, he was snapped up by Takoradi based Sekondi Eleven Wise to bolster their squad.
The tough tackling Dramani caught the eyes of Accra Hearts of Oak who signed him on to strengthen their defence.
After three seasons at Accra Hearts of Oak, he joined bitter rivals, Asante Kotoko in a swap deal where he notched some great performances.
The 47-year-old has a record of playing for all the Ghana national teams, U17,U20,U23 and the Black Stars.
He was a member of the Ghana U23 team which won bronze at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.
