Euro 2008 - we are in the semi-finals

Who would have expected. The point here is not even a question of luck. To hell with luck. It ended when the Croats did their best to Russia was able to come to the Euro. Next was a damn difficult job.

You know, contrary to popular opinion, the Russian know how to play football. This is shown by our team and place in the FIFA rankings, and the success of our players in the west, and the popularity of club competition in Russia. Russia lacked only one thing - the belief that it can win. Think of all the games team over the past 20 years. Viscous game on defense, rarely goes to the opponent's goal. As if to strike fear in someone else's target. Terrible phobia of losing the ball, leading to endless perepasovkam. There was no desire to win, it was only a desire to resist. In this spirit it is impossible to win.

A Russian team at Euro shows the wonders of self-discipline. I do not know what makes Hiddink in the locker room and in training, but it's a completely different level of discipline and focus on victory. And Arshavin does not look like a lone player, as before Sychev, running away to the opponent's goal, hoping to beat everyone and everything. On the field the team is really. which plays.

Under the windows of up to 3 in the morning humming buzzing and shouting oralki. It was something horrible, the whole town came running. Russia did not win a third world, it was not even in the final. There was something else. Russia believed in the person of his team that it is software - BE- DI- TEL!.

Place, gentlemen, in front of unattainable goals and strive for it. The only way to learn how to win every day.

In the meantime, RUSSIA - WINNER! .
