Russia boss Dick Advocaat has insisted that his side can only get better ahead of their Euro 2012 clash with Poland on Tuesday.
A win against Poland would see Russia book their spot in the latter stages, and Advocaat believes that his side can build on their 4-1 win over the Czech Republic.
"We'll play in the same way as we did against the Czechs and we can only get better. It is too early to say we are one of the favourites. Let's make the quarter-finals first. But we have a team for the future," he told reporters."
Russia and Poland drew 2-2 the last time the two teams met in 2007.
