Head coach Wouter Vrancken says his players must give it their all and hope for a magical and historical Tynecastle Park night.
The Jambos have it all to do in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie, after a night to forget in Graz last week, but Vrancken admits everyone is still eager to perform and looking forward to the game.
Speaking to the media at the pre-match press conference, he said:
“It's difficult when you are four goals behind. But again, we have to go for a magical and historical night. That's the aim. We have to go full. In football and in sport, you never know what's going to happen.
“So, we have to believe in this scenario. But altogether, we want to perform well to take the confidence for our next games.
“Football can be a funny old game. But I'm looking forward to the game here at Tynecastle. Full stadium behind us. I have no doubt that it's going to be like this and that they're going to support us 100 per cent.
“When I saw it in Graz already, the numbers who were there, the amount of people and the support they gave us, considering the result, I have no doubt that they're going to be behind us the full game. We have to do the same. We have to go all in. Let's go for this first goal and then we'll see.”
When asked what Hearts need to do better tomorrow, Vrancken replied:
“We have to increase efficiency. That's the most important thing. When you see the game back, especially when you see the first half back, it's incredible that we are behind at half-time. But the sport is hard to accept.
“We have to learn from it, because we have to do better in both boxes. Especially the set-plays in the first half. There's one moment.
“Then especially the offensive box, we have to do better by being more efficient. We have to leave it behind and we have to make sure that we are a little bit better in the boxes tomorrow.”
