'This could be a long season for Hearts' -

Hearts suffered a heavy defeat in their Champions League qualifying match against Sturm Graz. The Austrian team was far better and controlled the game from start to finish. After the match, fans and experts warned that this could be a very long and difficult season for the Scottish club. Hearts struggled to keep up with the speed and skill of their opponents. They made too many mistakes in defense and could not create any good chances to score goals. This loss shows that Hearts still have a lot of work to do if they want to play at the highest level in Europe. The manager now has a tough job to help the players recover their confidence before their next match.
