The Greek side are very good at giving their best the tougher the situation is in a game said their coach Fernando Santos but he added he hoped there would be no need for that when they play the Czech Republic on Tuesday in their Group A clash. Greece battled back to draw 1-1 with co-hosts Poland in their opener despite being a man down. They did, however, miss a penalty after Polish first choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was also sent off. "My team has this quality: the more difficult the match becomes, the more it is inclined to give of its best," said Santos. "We know we are set to play a very strong opponent, I hope this time round we won't have the same difficulties in showing our real qualities."
