But Russia's coach Vyacheslav Bykov was furious when asked about reports that the players had been seen at "social events" in the days leading up to the match. 'Don't look for something that isn't there," he said, as quoted by the Sovetski Sport paper. "You've already had a go at the footballers. The guys prepared seriously for the game." "Let's get the guillotine or the gallows out, yeah?" he went on. "We have 35 people in the squad, let's cut them all up on Red Square..." Things are unlikely to go that far, but Russia's ice-hockey players are assured a frosty reception when they return to snowbound Moscow.
