Script:

The Czech Republic were back on the training pitch after a disastrous start to Euro 2012.

Coach Michal Bilek worked his team hard after losing their opening group match 4-1 to Russia.

Team manager Vladimir Smicer says the disappointment should not dwell in their minds.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Vladimir Smicer, Czech Republic team manager:

"They way we lost, 4-1, it's a heavy defeat, and also the players are disappointed, but still two games to play, and I think that Greece and Poland are two teams we can have good results against them, so we have to be confident, and of course the next game is very important."

Next up for the Czechs are Greece, who drew 1-1 with co-hosts Poland in the tournament curtain raiser.
