On May 25, 2012 the Russian national team will play a friendly match with the Uruguay national team in preparation for the final stage of Euro 2012. This match will be a control match, and the coach of the national team Dick Advocaat will have to make sure that all the athletes invited to the team deserve a ticket to the European Championship.
Instructions
Step 1
The matches of the European Football Championship 2012 will be held in Poland and Ukraine.
Step 2
The coach of the Russian football team, Dick Advocaat, invited to the team both experienced athletes who have gone through more than one selection cycle and have more than one or more international tournaments behind them, as well as those who have established themselves as a good game in the Russian championship, for example, defender Roman Sharonov.
Step 3
The third group of players invited to the national team is made up of promising youth, such as Dmitry Kombarov or Artem Dzyuba. They have yet to prove their worth, and not all of them may be included in the final application. According to experts, these players are a good reserve.
Step 4
Unfortunately, Vasily Berezutsky will not be at the European Championship, which is a serious loss for the Russian team. This can affect both the teamwork of the team and its psychological state.
Step 5
The rival of the Russian national team in the control match, the Uruguay national team is a very strong team, so it is difficult to predict the result of the match. By itself, it will not matter much, although for the psychological mood, of course, it is better to have a victory behind your back. At the same time, the opponent must be strong enough for the match to build a game model for the upcoming European Championship.
Step 6
In the match with Uruguay, a lot will depend on the first 15 minutes of the meeting. If the score is not opened, then the teams may feel constrained and play the entire match with a goalless draw. But it may also be that the teams will show open football from the very beginning, which, of course, will make the match more entertaining.
Step 7
In the meantime, the Russian team conducts one training session a day, and the team's coach says that in general he is satisfied with the work of the players. They go to the European championship with optimism, believing that they can show at least the result of 2008.
