PRESS REVIEW. "In Klagenfurt you won't be playing for honor, but to advance from the group", Croatia's head coach Slaven Bilić warns Polish footballers in an interview with "Rzeczpospolita" before the final match in Euro 2008 Group B
On Monday Leo Beenhakker's team will play the third and final group stage match of Euro 2008 - against Croatia. This is a last-chance game for the Polish team, and Poland's head coach said before the game that he will prepare his team, but it's all he can do - because he didn't call his friend Slaven to convince him to field his mother-in-law in the squad.

"I'm divorced", Bilić chuckles. "And Beenhakker is Beenhakker - he's a great manager, playing his own strategy. He doesn't need my ex-mother-in-law to help him", the Croatian adds, complimenting the Polish team: "You can't disrergard a team which fought an even battle with Germany, lost the second goal because of a stupid mistake and only just then lost belief in equalizing".
