Bushiri: We Can Turn This Around

Rocky Bushiri believes Hibs can turn their difficult start to the season around, and that could start on Tuesday night against Aberdeen.

The centre-half started in our defeat to Dundee at the weekend, but has assured fans that the players will give everything they’ve got to end the current poor run of form.

“It’s painful, no-one wants to lose games of football,” said the Belgian.

“Tomorrow is a new game, a new opportunity at home, and we have to give the fans something back and do it for ourselves at all.

“Every club can go through difficult periods. We are doing everything to turn it around.

“Playing football is a privilege, everyone should give everything, and you should always play like it’s your last game; that’s how you can be better. We have to do it for the fans as well because they’re always there.

“What I can promise is that everyone will work hard, and if hard is not enough, then we will work harder to give the fans something back; they’re the heart of the club.”

A number of players were brought into the club in the summer with leadership experience, and Bushiri believes the strong togetherness inside the dressing room will get us through this tough moment.

“I haven’t been playing a lot, but I will always give 100% when I’m on the pitch. Defeats are hard, it’s always hard, but in those moments you have to hold your teammates and tell them it’s not over yet. It’s a battle at the moment, there’s a long way to go this season, and things can change quickly. We will do everything to give the fans something back.”
