d**k Advocaat has told Russian players to put the pedal to the metal in the upcoming final group stage game against Greece on Saturday
Russian national team head coach, d**k Advocaat, has shared the expectations of the upcoming group stage match of Euro 2012 against Greece at Stadion Narodowy on Saturday.
Russia will play the much anticipated match against the Greeks on the back of a 1-1 draw against Poland on Tuesday. However, the late draw has not affected their group standings as they atop the Group A table thanks to their opening
day 4-1 win against Czech Republic at Stadion Miejski.
Greece, on the other hand, are at the bottom of the group table after they were pegged to a 1-1 draw against Poland. Things are only getting worse for the Greeks as they recorded a 2-1 defeat against the Narodaks recently.

Advocaat, who will join PSV-Eindhoven after the completion of the European tournament in July, has conceded that he expects his side to give a proper response in the upcoming match after a below par performance against the white
and reds.
