Hearts: Derek McInnes praises Alexandros Kyziridis for goalscoring debut at Stirling
Alexandros Kyziridis scored on his Hearts debut against Stirling. The 24-year-old set up Craig Halkett’s opener and scored himself. Head coach Derek McInnes was pleased with the winger’s decision-making. Claudio Braga scored a diving header to put Hearts three up by the break.
The 24-year-old Greek player set up Craig Halkett’s headed opener and scored himself following Alan Forrest’s cross.
“You see what he is, I think he’s capable of moments when he holds his width and he’s really incisive and makes his mind up early,” McInnes told Premier Sports.
“Like a lot of wide players, decision-making is where they are judged. I thought he did a lot of good, considering it was his first game.
“He was in the right area to score a goal. He should have been in the right area before that to score another goal. But he did some good things.”
Fellow summer signing Claudio Braga scored a diving header before Kyziridis put Hearts three up by the break, but McInnes was expecting more in the second half before Halkett headed in his second goal late on.
“We played some good stuff in the first half, but I’d like us to be better than that for long spells,” added McInnes, whose side all but sealed their place in the second round.
