Heart of Lions Communications Director Eric Eli Adzie has stated his club has learnt "bitter lessons" this season but remains determined to challenge for the Ghana Premier League title, despite a significant points gap to the league leaders.
Adzie acknowledged the difficulties faced by the Kpando-based side, who have collected 27 points from 20 matches to sit seventh in the table, 16 points behind leaders Medeama SC. However, he insisted that the fight is not over.
"The Ghana Premier League has taught us some bitter lessons these few weeks, and we are not ruling ourselves out of contention because the moment we play in the tournament, we should be playing for the ultimate," Adzie told Citi Sports.
He pointed to the inherent unpredictability of football as the foundation for their belief. "In as much as Medeama are actually runaway leaders, I think anything can happen in football," Adzie said.
"If you look at the number of matches left, anything at all can happen. Clubs can falter, clubs can stumble, and others can also overtake them. So we are not out of the title race yet."
The club's resolve faces an immediate and severe test as they prepare to host second-placed Asante Kotoko at the Kpando Sports Stadium on January 31.
Currently on a poor run of just one win in their last ten league matches, Heart of Lions will need to transform their lessons into a stunning result to revive their campaign and prove their title aspirations are more than just words.
