Coach Herbert Addo counting on Hearts' determination to overcome Djoliba in Confederation Cup

Hearts of Oak coach Herbert Addo believes the sheer determination of his inexperienced team will carry the side to overcome Djoliba in their CAF Confederations Cup tie.

The Phobians will leave Accra on Wednesday morning for the first leg clash of their preliminary qualifier against the Malian club.

Hearts have enjoyed a fairy tale ride in their African campaign having been victorious in matches they weren’t expected to.

The Accra-based side will now be attempting to chalk another grand feat in their bid to make at least the group stage of the competition.

And coach Herbert Addo is convinced his hungry players are up for the challenge against Djoliba.

“The group of players I have here are very determined to make a name for themselves,” he said.

“Most of these players have not even sat in a plane before so the experience is something new and exciting for them and they will want it to continue.

“We are therefore going there [Djoliba] to win.”
