kent can;t wait to sample the 'Black Hell' atmosphere and insists Hearts need to br confident heading to Greece.
This time he’s praying the shoe is on the other foot as Hearts’ Europa Conference League future hangs in the balance. The 27-year-old defender was part of a Peterborough side who lost to Sheffield Wednesday in their League One semi-final a little over three months ago. But the outcome was all the more demoralising given Posh squandered a 4-0 first-leg cushion as the Owls progressed to Wembley on penalties.
“Some of the boys have played in hostile atmospheres, so I will be taking a gauge from them in terms of European ties. Things can turn very quickly. PAOK are a good team but we know we can go there and hurt them with the way we played. We showed that last Thursday. Kent doesn’t entertain the notion there is a gulf in quality between the two sides. Instead, he’s adamant they more than matched the Greeks at home and will approach the second showdown by throwing some caution to the wind.
“You get the feel of a game early. It was a bit frantic but we said to each other afterwards we have nothing to hide. “We know it’s going to be tough, we know what the atmosphere will be like. It’s very hostile but it’s something to embrace. Why not go and embrace it, take the best out of it and show our best as well? It’ll be difficult because the emotions of the game will be very high.
