JAMBOS CHIEF VOWS TO WORK ON SPIRIT
Laszlo - wants Hearts' players to smile.
Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo has vowed to put a smile back on the face of his players - but not at the expense of discipline.
The former Uganda boss is determined to lift the players' confidence on the pre-season tour of Germany after admitting some looked "completely down" during his first week at the club.
But he has also pinpointed indiscipline as one of the main problems at Tynecastle in recent years.
Stephen Frail also made discipline his main priority when he was appointed caretaker boss on New Year's Day - Hearts had three men sent off in a 4-1 defeat by Dundee United the following day.
"If you don't have passion in you and if you don't love your work then you cannot give anything to the other people," Laszlo told Hearts World.
"If I go into the dressing room my adrenaline goes up. I want to show the people I like my job.
"If the people see the manager coming in the dressing room with wrong body language and not smiling and encouraging the players then he cannot show the right way.
"Everyone has a good or bad day but if I go in the dressing room I put all my problems to the side and concentrate on my job. Normally I am positive all the time.
"If you don't smile then you are losing the day."
Despite the emphasis on smiling, the Hungarian is determined not to let Hearts' pre-season in Germany turn into a holiday camp.
"If you don't have discipline off the field, you don't have discipline on the field," he added.
"If you don't have control over the players, they will have control over you. In the past the players have control over the managers, and this is not a good way.
"If you go to war, the soldiers cannot cannot have control over the generals.
"You must have a leader and you must have discipline. If I can go for dinner at eight o'clock, everyone must go to dinner at eight o'clock.
"This club must show unity. We must move together, we lose together, we win together, we eat together, we go to training together.
"If a player doesn't like what to do, he can go."
