France: Russian team 'try not to think about' hooligans ahead of Slovakia match

The Russian national football team held their final training session in Croissy Sur-Seine on Monday, before their departure to Lille, where they will play their second Euro 2016 match against Slovakia.
Leonid Slutsky and his squad will leave their hotel this afternoon, and in Lille on Tuesday, hold a press conference and final training session before the match.
Speaking to the press at the mixed zone in the Parc Omnisports complex on Monday, Russian defender Roman Shishkin commented on the fan violence at the England-Russia game in Marseille on Saturday.
“Once again we don't think about it [hooligans fighting in Marseille], we concentrate on our performance and game plans. We are all professional football players and we do our job. Because when we start paying attention to that, we will get distracted. So we try not to think about it.”
He cited England as not only the favourite for Group B, but as one of the favourites for the tournament itself. Russia and England drew 1-1 on Saturday in Marseille, where violence erupted between fans of the two teams.
