Deputy NCC PRO for Hearts of Oak, Ismael Yussif, emphatically stated in an interview that Coach Abubakar’s decision not to speak to the public after matches is deliberate and rooted in his philosophy. “It’s not arrogance or avoidance,” Yussif explained, “but a focus on results and team development rather than words.” He highlighted that while the coach remains silent in the media, his communication and impact are felt strongly within the team, emphasizing that Abubakar lets his work on the pitch speak louder than any post-match analysis.
According to Hon. Arthur Wilson, the MTN FA Cup Chairman, who spoke on Fish FM, he expressed his support for PAC Academy to advance to the next stage of the competition, affirming that his wish aligns with their success in the tournament.
