addition to the strategically important victory in Helsinki, but still produced a clear advantage for the Russian team meeting with the Finns was marked by another important factor. The high art of Guus Hiddink's coaching – has long been an axiom, but the ability at the right time to give a chance to prove himself to the required footballer on the field, continues to astound with equal if not greater force than before.

Reaching last season, the semi-final Euro 2008 – Russian national team was a single, integrated organism and any change in him, as it seemed then, are able to bring down the whole organized system. All the lines seen exactly the players who went on the field, and conversations from the category of “better to let it” were doomed to failure (if there at all). And even the position of striker roman pavlyuchenko, who was on the eve before the championship injury terrifies the defense opponents in the UEFA Cup Pavel Pogrebnyak, in fact it was considered a changer – did not cause any shadow of doubt.

In general, turned, if not a sort of dream-team (all the same names for similar victory in the tournament, or at least reaching the final – a must), then something very close to it. Especially, for neizbalovannogo in recent years to play Euro National Team of Russian fans. Do not die an instant, you are so beautiful. How would you like to put on a shelf in a museum and love to blow off dust particles. But life goes on, and, consequently, their status must certify that, as is known, an order of magnitude more difficult.

“Life goes on, and, hence, their status must certify that, as is known, an order of magnitude more difficult”

Process already in full swing, and although only a year has passed – changes are already evident, albeit caused by objective circumstances. At the balance game with Finland in comparison with last year crowned the composition could not leave earned disqualification Alexander Anyukov, injured railroad workers Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and Dmitri Torbinski just recovered from injury captain marvel team-Sergei Semak, the issue of entry is in the final list for the match in doubt. Not in the best shape was won back half of the season without a break, Roman Pavlyuchenko, who lost in a stable position on “Tottenhema” not been invited to the gathering, Dmitry Sychev, for the past third of the Russian championship, because never once struck the gate opponents …

If

mentally travel back in time to triumph at Euro 2008 just to fight in Helsinki, the problems with the composition would be typed above the roof and more. But over the years the team continued to grow, not preserved past guises, gradually moving forward. In the national team after a lack of nebezboleznennogo for Alexander Kerzhakov back again “alive”, Vladimir Bystrov, that has not escaped the attention of Hiddink Borodyuk and Korneev. Returned and the first under the Dutch specialist captain Russians Yevgeny Aldonin, which, however, to enter the field Olympic stadium during the match and had no chance.

Contrary to the opinions of idle

moonlighting functions Guus Hiddink coach of Russia and “Chelsea” has not led to the fact that he lost sight of the Russian championship. A Korneev Borodyuk with the fact and its main allies, to help draw attention to a particular circumstance. In short, without pre-excitation and Alexander Kerzhakov, Vladimir Bystrov and outright were on the field – a holy place is never empty.

Now another important fact. Despite the fact that changes in the basis of the missing, the starting lineup for the match with Finland was read before and was quite accurately predicted by most experts and closely tracking the developments of fans. What was the reason? Hardly a mass telepathy … more predictability. And what's wrong with this word? When the team a mess and you do not know where to start to rake it, you want – or not, you have to make arbitrary decisions. When, for various reasons, one player that did not belong to a hitherto the main clip proves its worth and the opportunity to be useful – to him a direct path to the field.

Add to this circumstance, a good atmosphere within the team and the desire to walk together toward the goal. And let's not forget the high level of professionalism, which manifests itself as on the field and off it. On the one hand the joy over the return to the team Yevgeny Aldonin, which is not very happy opportunity again to try on the shape of the national team, but as soon as possible and intends to communicate with the instructor (there are insults!), On the other – the fall of shot down during the match Andrei Arshavin who glance at the arbitrator, and realizing that the penalty will not be, instead of grow in his arms – once forcing his opponent fight his penalty. Here is the recipe for success.

Situations like usual in the past scandals within the team, this team set up by Hiddink, seem impossible. To recall the departure of Alexander Mostovoy after its conflict with the coaching staff at Euro 2004. Now a team reigns normal working atmosphere, visible to the naked eye. Everyone understands that in order to play on – you need to work hard.

“Situations like usual in the past scandals within the team, this team set up by Hiddink, seem to be impossible”

There is nothing surprising in the fact that after a long break Kerzhakov immediately makes a double, and quickly makes his trademark flanking aisles, and creates a moment after which the forward of “Dynamo” scored the second goal in the gate Yaaskilaynena. And no wonder that so successful actions in the specific match does not promise them in the future, if they continue to prove their right to play on.

Temporarily withdraw from the cage – not to disappear from her forever and last match of the qualifying round – the best proof of that. Sparkle brightly with the advent of Semina in “Lokomotiv” Sychev – nothing will prevent him from returning. There is no doubt that it is not far off the debut of brothers Kombarova if they continue to perform at a high level. It measures the not past accomplishments and current affairs. Well, all ingenious is simple.
