Sweden's head coach Lars Lagerback is set to learn about
his team's Euro-2008 competitors as they will cross the swords with Russian
champs in the last match of group stage.
"I watched only one match of the Russian team when they played against
England in Moscow", said Lagerback to Sport Express.
"We will come up against Russia on May 8 in the final game of group
stage so we will have enough time to study their football closer."
"Nevertheless we are set to learn Guus Hiddink's players now as my
assistants collect information about our competitors."
"Russian international demonstrated high-quality football against
England, but it wasn't a surprise for me."
"I suppose they showed their usual level of football, moreover they
are headed by Guus Hiddink whose coaching manner is well known in the
world."
"I believe Spain is the key favorite in our group, while three other
teams Greece, Russia and Sweden have almost equal chances for victory."
