On June 1, Russia held their second planned trainings in Moscow prior to the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier against Armenia.

The event was jeopardized by a fire near Eduard Streltsov stadium, which hosted the training. However, firemen managed to extinguish the fire, and the training proceeded normally.

“I am rather satisfied with the shape of all footballers,” Russia coach Dick Advocaat said after the training. He added that some footballers are not in the best competition form, but there is some time until the match. “The guys understand that it will be a very important match,” he said.

Advocaat said he expects the team to gain only three points in the match due June 4 in Saint Petersburg.
