Under-fire Hearts of Oak coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi has poured cooled water on growing speculations that he is playing hard to get with Hearts of Oak Management.

The Japanese coach lost his first high-profile game against rivals Asante Kotoko and pressure is mounting on the gaffer to win against Berekum Chelsea.

Kenichi Yatsuhashi has had a torrid relationship with his employers after a famous post on face book three weeks ago.

Growing reports claim he will be sacked if he fails to pick up a point against Berekum Chelsea this weekend.

But the coach says some of the reportage in the media has been factually inaccurate.

“There has been some of things that has been reported in the media which are untrue,” Kenichi said

“But the time now is concentrated on the next game so we will try to return to winning ways.”

Hearts of Oak are still second just two points behind leaders Wa All Stars.
