Dick Advocaat: Results are more important than the performance

Advocaat: "It is all about the result"

Russia boss Dick Advocaat has suggested that he is more concerned with results than attractive football at Euro 2012.

Advocaat, who will leave his post after the tournament in Poland and Ukraine to take over at PSV, insists that nothing else matters but the results at a tournament of this magnitude.

"Of course, results create a lot of self-confidence," he told Sport-informations-dienst.

"It is all about the result. All the rest does not matter in such an important tournament.

"After three weeks of training, we are looking forward to the clash with Czech Republic. We believe that all the team will be fit."

Russia open Euro 2012 against the Czech Republic this evening.
