Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrei Arshavin grabbed the goals in the 2-0 win at Innsbruck's Stadion Tivoli Neu, setting up the last-eight clash for the weekend.

"I know the way we play we get respect because we play with the concepts that football should be played, like Holland," said Hiddink, who was Holland's manager in the mid-1990s.

"I don't know if they fear us but they have five days more rest, which is an advantage.

"It's a special game because I know the players, the coach and more people within the squad I worked with.

"I'm very proud of my team and the progress they have made in the last few days. They play modern football.

"The only criticism you can make is that we don't score enough of the opportunities we created. Nevertheless, this team have made tremendous progress."

Arshavin was back from suspension and was at the heart of Russia's fluent attacking, unlocking Sweden's defence to start the move that led to Pavlyuchenko's 24th-minute opener.

The second goal came just after the break, with Arshavin sliding home after a flowing move.

"Arshavin is a player who can decide very fast where he can create danger, he's a very smart player," Hiddink added. "There was a lack of match fitness but that is the reason why I took him in the 23-man squad - he can make a difference."
