In his first interview, Ouatching said: โI have been training with the team for some time and I can say when given the opportunity, I will put in my best. Getting started alone is a huge motivation for me.
“I am here to work and I will do my very best to let my work do all the talking on the pitch.โ
He is very much hopeful that Heartsโ performance in this yearโs Caf Confederation Cup will be different.
โWe only have to prepare very well. I believe in this squad and I know if we continue to listen to the coaches and take our games one after the other we will make this team proud in every competition.
“That should be our mentality going into the new season,โ he added.
Ouatching later played against Ghana in the same competition four days later also in Luanda.
The Phobians have added two attackers to their forward lines and already have Daniel Afriyie, Benjamin Yorke, Victor Aidoo, and Kwadwo Obeng as well.
