Intro:

European Championship co-hosts Poland were back in training on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after their morale-boosting 1-1 draw with Russia.

Script:

It is fair to say that the spirit in the Poland camp is high.

After drawing 1-1 with rivals Russia the previous night, Franciszek Smuda's side trained in front of hundreds of Polish fans in Warsaw on Wednesday.

Next up for the tournament co-hosts is a crucial final Group A game against the Czech Republic in Wroclaw on Saturday.

Win the match and Poland are guaranteed to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in only their second European Championship and midfielder Dariusz Dudka believes it is possible.

"We need only one-zero and we can do it. After the game against Russia…. we have confidence and I think we're going go play good."

Robert Lewandowski scored the opening goal of the tournament and is the subject of plenty of transfer speculation.

But the Borussia Dortmund striker is not thinking too far ahead.

Well, he is trying not to anyway.

"Of course, it's not an easy team to play against and I hope we will play well and we hope we can win, but we will win because we want to be in the final. I mean the quarter-final."

Saturday is set to be a dramatic night as any side can still progress from Group A.

However, Poland must beat Czech Republic if they are to reach the last eight.
