Russia's play-maker, Andrey Arshavin, says he wants to play Slovenia in the World Cup play-offs and avoid Ukraine and Bosnia.
This is the wrong approach. We need to be clinical, and be able to play anyone, without any other thoughts other than producing the best performance we can, which will hopefully take us through. I have seen so many good teams go down to lesser opposition with this approach. Instead we should be professional, do our homework and go out there and play exciting fast football. Our aim should be playing great football, the results will then come. Worrying about who the opposition is, is not football, it is too much psychology, which we are guilty of on too many occasions. Let's go and play our best and make it a game to talk about! Gus has done a great job, we are with him all the way, we want him to continually reach for the best football and superb tactics. This is sport and sometimes it won't go our way, but regardless we should be producing football that provides great games to watch. Then footballing fans will want to watch us from around the world. Excellence is the only way, worrying is not! Go Russia!
