Russia coach Dick Advocaat said that the team in determined to win in October 7 UEFA EURO 2012 Group B qualifiers against hosting Slovakia.

“You must never settle for a tie; as rivals, Ireland and Slovakia are completely different. My personal favorite is the home game vs. Slovakia; unfortunately the results were not good,” the coach said.

“I believe, Slovakia will learn from loss vs. Armenia. However, despite so many opportune moments in the first half, the team got unlucky. What Russia squad is to realize is that they’re the ones to decide the outcome,” sport-express.ru quoted him as saying.

On October 11, Group B leader Russia (17 points) will host a match vs. Andorra. Ireland (15 points) and Armenia (14 points) are placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
