d**k Advocaat has hailed the Russian national team after winning the latest friendly match 3-0 against Italy ahead of Euro 2012
Russian national team manager, d**k Advocaat, has expressed his delight upon winning the last friendly match against Italy at Stadion Letzigrund on Friday.
Though, Russia have failed to impress after recording back-to-back draws in the first two friendly matches against Uruguay and Lithuanian, Advocaat’s men have boosted their confidence ahead of Euro 2012 after claiming a comprehensive
3-0 win against the Blues at Switzerland.
Zenit St. Petersburg striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Shirokov-c31645, who assisted the first goal, put up a man of the match performance after scoring a brace.
“We have achieved a very good result in the game against Italy. It has showed that we are moving in the right direction. But we need to improve defensively as Italy had created good opportunities to score. Speaking about the functional
status of the players, I'm very pleased with their form after two weeks of training.”
“I agree with the statements of the Dutch national team coach that it is most important in a friendly match to see the dynamics of the team.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 manager was quoted as saying.
Advocaat, who has recently signed a one-year contract at PSV-Eindhoven and will resume coaching duties at the Philips stadium after the continental tournament, has conceded that the latest result was very important for his side.
Russia will play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 in the group stages.
The UEFA Cup winner went on to urge his side to display a similar performance when they play the opening group stage game in the European tournament against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 at Stadion Miejski.
Advocaat has assured the fans that his team is working hard and focusing on the game against the Narodak. However, the Dutch tactician has refused to reveal the possible starting eleven against Czech.
The fact that Alexander Korolyuk will take charge as the new sporting director at Dynamo Moscow after Euros pleases Advocaat, who has congratulated his assistant manager for the interesting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
