Heart of Lions coach, Bashir Hayford, breaks silence on his dramatic actions during a recent showdown with Bechem United in the Ghana Premier League.
Hayford sparked controversy by placing a chair on the pitch and sitting in the midst of the game, disrupting play.
In an interview with Akoma Sports, Hayford unveils the unsettling truth behind his response, citing fan misconduct involving hurling urine and hurling insults at him and his players.
“The fans were hurling urine and insulting me and the players. We had to defend ourselves so we ran to the pitch but to be honest, I really replied them. In my 30-year fan of the game, I had never seen anything like this before. It was more like a war and not a football match,” Hayford explained as quoted by Akoma Sports
As both teams grapple with their respective challenges, with Bechem United at sixth position and Heart of Lions struggling in 17th place, the upcoming clash against fourth-placed Nsoatreman FC is crucial for Heart of Lions as they strive to turn the tide and secure their survival in the league.
