Michael Wimmer says every player at Motherwell has a clean slate under him, and is looking forward to becoming immersed in “passionate” Scottish football.Wimmer has watched selected Motherwell games and took in the Hearts v Rangers match last Sunday as he prepares his new side for the trip to Dundee United on Saturday.The German is looking to connect with Motherwell supporters, and reckons working hard is the way to forge a relationship.He said: “I want to play proactive football, try to play with our principles, try to be dominant and have high ball wins.“My building blocks are from control, dynamic, to be goal-orientated, and this I want to say, to bring energy into the club, have many duels and energy and atmosphere also to the fans.“I think it’s a traditional club, and a traditional club needs intensity.“I want to take a picture from each player.

Each player has the same chance to play, and you can show it in the training session.“Then we decide, as a coaching staff, which players are perhaps the best for Saturday.“I’m looking forward, I like to have good connections to the fans.

I think if I work 24-7 and give everything for the club, then I think it could work.“I can say that I think it’s very important that the relationship between the team, the club and the fans has to be tight.”Wimmer reckons Scottish football is ‘honest’ and looks forward to his first taste of it.“I like the intensity, the honesty from the football, and I like the passion” said the former Stuggart gaffer.“I like also the fans, they are passionate.

This is crazy, I like it.“On Sunday I watched Hearts against Rangers, I was also surprised by the energy and the power in this game.
