What have Hearts said about Aberdeen game?
Head coach Vrancken said: “I'm looking forward to it. Like I already said, it's a difficult away game now to start there. Because of not winning there for, I don't know, ten years or so. So, it has to be the aim and the goal to change those stats. And we have to go into it believing that we can do it, and we will. I’m confident because of the players. You work with them every day and you see how they react and you see how they do their work on the pitch.
“You see how the players work and react and ask for feedback. And of course, they're also four or five weeks together to find the connection. So, again, when they find the connections more and more, it can only get better at the time. We as a staff have to push them to reach their full potential directly. And the individual themselves have to push themselves to be ready as soon as possible. It's about results and showing the quality there. So, like we said already last week, in football there is no long-term.”
