Hiddink slams Greece

Guus Hiddink has slammed Greece in the build up for the Euro 2008 group game against Russia; believing that they play too negatively. The Greeks won the Euro 2004 tournament and are desperate to retain the trophy.

Hiddink said: "They will play their own way and we have to deal with that.

"Normally they keep a lot of people in the defensive line and it's difficult to break through that wall.

"We're going to have to be very smart and try not to walk into the traps they set.

"I personally think that, as European champions, they should take more initiative but, okay, that's their way of playing and we'll have to deal with it.

"They have a lot of experience in tournament football and we, as underdogs, are looking forward to playing them."
