Accra, June 24, GNA - The Ghana premier league resumes this weekend after the break with most of the teams seeing alterations in the technical team or the playing body.

One of such alterations, which came very late is the appointment of Portuguese-born Sergio Daniel Moniz Tragiu as the head coach of Hearts of Oak's.

Sergio has only four days to prepare his team for his first match against Dream FC, a team they drew away with in the first round of the league.

The former Benfica team B coach says fans will have to be a bit patient with the team because he just took charge of affairs.

'All of you know that its not easy, Mr. Kenichi just went out. It is not easy to come here and take the job and try to win confidence from the players and from the club structure. It is not easy to build the team. People must understand. All of us need time,' Sergio explained.

He added that the team will however be in shape for Sunday's home game.

'I think we will be ready for the task and win the three points, that's our main objective.'

Sergio Daniels was drafted into the senior team on Thursday from his former position as the coach of the club's team B. He will bring in his assistant in the coming days.

Sergio, who has coached Nigerian premier league side Kaduna United disagrees that there will be pressure on him to do more than his predecessor in the second round.

'I am doing my job, so how can I feel pressure. I was born for this, so I have to be ready. If it is senior team, Auroras (the youth team), the national team, (or) if it is any team in the world, I have to be ready. No I don't feel any pressure. Seriously I don't feel!'

Hearts of Oak are lying fourth on the league table after the first round - just two points adrift of leaders Wa All Stars.

Meanwhile their opponents on Sunday will be led by former Hearts coach C.K Akunnor and are also lying seventh on the table with 23 points.
