Advocaat predicts tough match with Poland

10 June 2012 19:47

Russia coach Dick Advocaat predicted his side would have a much tougher game against co-hosts Poland in their Group A game on Tuesday than they did in their opening 4-1 humbling of Czech Republic.

"I don't see any reason that the match with Poland can be easy for our team," said the Dutchman.

"We will face opponents, who play a completely different style of football. I hope we will obtain a result similar to the result of our previous encounter but the upcoming match will definitely be much more tough for our team.

"Our strength is our team play but we can say exactly the same about the Polish side, which played quality football in the match with Greece."
