After scoring a goal from a set piece to secure a win and three points for Hearts of Oak against Kotoku Royals on Sunday, Caleb Amankwah expressed gratitude towards Coach Slavko Matic for teaching the team how to score from set pieces.
The former WAFA defender scored his third goal of the season in match week 22 of the BetPawa Premier League, with a last-second header against a team that was in danger of being relegated.
In the dying seconds of the game, he powered the ball past Frank Boateng to score the only goal of the game.
According to Caleb, Coach Slavko Matic taught the team a specific technique and style to score from set pieces, and Salifu Ibrahim and Don Linda Mtange are the takers while he and Konadu Yiadom are the target men. He also mentioned that he had been determined to score in the game and had been talking to himself about it.
“Coach Slavko Matic gave us a technique and style to score from set pieces and Salifu Ibrahim and Don Linda Mtange are the takers and I and Konadu Yiadom are the target men,” he told Kumasi FM.
“I was determined to score in the game because I had been talking to myself that I would and truly I did,”
The next league game for the Phobians will be against Karela United.
