Ex-coach of Russian football players Guus Hiddink arrived at the base of the Russian national team in Novogorsk. "Hiddink visited the training and in his own unique style appeared before the team, wishing the boys good luck," - says in the microblogging Twitter Russians. The Russian team for the first time in its history went to the playoffs of the World Cup and is now preparing for the match 1/8 finals - July 1 at the stadium "Luzhniki" Russians will play against the team of Spain. Hiddink's appeal to athletes was translated by Stanislav Cherchesov. Guus Hiddink was the head coach of the national team from 2006 to 2010.

Perhaps the former coach will be able to inspire the athletes before the game with the Spaniards, which will give them an additional advantage in the match - it was under his leadership that the Russians became the bronze medalists of the 2008 European Championship. In any case, Internet users think this way: "Gus will always be our best trainer who has achieved success"), "lucky stopped by!", "For us it's a lucky trainer!")
