Zurich boss Franco Foda has warned Hearts an electric Tynecastle will charge his players up to finish the job rather than see them short circuit in tomorrow’s Europa League play-off.
The Swiss champions head to Edinburgh looking to power into the group stage on the back of a 2-1 first leg lead. A ferocious atmosphere is expected as Hearts prepare for their biggest Euro game in a decade and Zurich general manager - former Jambos ace Jose Goncalves - has already filled Foda’s stars in on what to expect when they run out at a rammed Tynecastle under the lights.
Hearts midfielder Peter Haring reckons that intense atmosphere could spook the visitors and pull the plug on their hopes of reaching the money-spinning stage of the competition. But Foda has rubbished that theory and said: “Jose has told us about the atmosphere at Tynecastle so we’ll have to prepare for that.
