The Russian national team is preparing intensively for the first European Championship match against England.
Team coach Leonid Slutsky hopes that his team's advantage will be less known players.
On the other hand, the strategist will have to wriggle out of a difficult situation, as his team has suffered three consecutive defeats, and many of the players do not represent the biggest European clubs.
"We know the England national team well, while they do not know us. If we knew the opponent's starting lineup now, it would be easier to prepare. Therefore, I will use the same logic and announce our main eleven as late as possible," said the 45-year-old Russian.
