Fans of Accra Hearts of Oak SC are set to witness another packed season in the coming weeks led by their return to continental football for the first time in six years.
The capital based side prepared for the coming season with the arrival of some stellar signings from local rivals.
From the returning Kofi Kordzi to the latest arrival of Abu Ushau Busquetes, Accra Hearts of Oak SC supporters are gearing up for what appears to be their most decisive season for a long time.
Described by pundits of the game as a modern day version of Clarence Seedorf and Claude Makelele, Abu Ushau arrives from Berekum Chelsea FC with high reputation as a ball passer. His rise in stature as a revered user of the ball reached its all time high across the 2020/21 GHPL season.
With Benjamin Afutu trading Ghana for topflight football in Egypt, Ushau’s main slot in the Accra Hearts of Oak SC team most definitely will be the hole in front of the defense.
A team of 442gh.com takes a look at the three assets brought on board by Abu Ushau into the camp of Accra Hearts of Oak SC.
Linkage play
Accra Hearts of Oak SC are blessed with quick counter attacking footballers led by the brilliant Afriyie Barnie. The presence of Abu Ushau will liberate the flying wide men of Accra Hearts of Oak SC in a typical 4-3-3 formation.
Tactical Transition
Abu Ushau formed a midfield trinity with Micheal Dwamena and Samadu Abdulai during their time with Wa Suntaa SC described by many as the best combination at the regional level. The tactical transition from a flat 4-3-3 to a more attack oriented 4-2-3-1. The ability for Ushau to quickly switch from the central midfielder to an advance ball user. His instinctive intelligence earned him admirers across the football parlance. He is likely going to command a starting berth alongside Ansah Botchway and Ibrahim Salifu.
Leadership Attributes On The Pitch
Abu Ushau is a born leader as seen in how he controls his colleagues and the game at large. His ability to decide when to hasten attack and when to slow down remains one of his greatest attributes as a footballer. He will naturally improve the tempo of the game both in defense and in attack.
