Bale says he’s out to exploit England’s weaknesses
That along with the fact that Wales has a shaky defense makes England winning an even more likely outcome.
“I don’t think we’ll be surprised particularly by either their line-up or what they try to do when they’ve got the ball or when they don’t have the ball”.
England manager Roy Hodgson responded by calling Bale “disrespectful” while Jack Wilshere stated that England have better players and a better team. It’s about time we changed that and hopefully we can do it.
But if Bale has made himself a bigger target than he was before the game, then he is certainly not bothered by the possible challenges that might be heading his way.
England showed signs of defensive fragility in the build-up to Euro 2016, conceding seven goals in four games before beating Portugal 1-0 in their final warm-up game. “When the whistle goes tomorrow, we’ll see who’s ready”.
“We are just concentrating on ourselves, nothing is fazing us, we are just going to go out there and enjoy the occasion”.
England midfielder Adam Lallana said that such an outcome would be “devastating” and Hodgson and team captain Wayne Rooney have released a video message pleading for calm.
“It’s a matter of total disinterest to me because none of those Welsh players are available to play for England”.
“It’s good that they bit”, Bale said Tuesday.
Gareth Bale has extended his bullishness towards England by stating yesterday that none of Roy Hodgson’s players are good enough to be in the Wales team.
He added: “I wouldn’t say when he was that young he had an aura around him”.
“I believe we can grow into the tournament, hopefully we can continue improving”. It has to be said that the defensive is a little shaky to say the least but they are still full of talent and I think they can beat any side on their day.
“Talk is talk and action on the field is action on the field”.
Wales ‘ players and management stand to split a bonus pool of £3million if they beat England to reach Euro 2016 ‘s knockout phase. Chris Coleman has done such a great job and Wales have a great team spirit.
Coleman added it was just “another game of football” and that the identity of the opposition would not factor into the squad’s preparations.
Hodgson led his team to consecutive friendly wins against the Scots in 2013 and 2014, but admitted they were ‘tough games’.
“We know we’re going to give 100 per cent, and we know that when we give everything for the Welsh shirt and our nation we can’t do any more”. “Nothing’s fazing us, we don’t feel any pressure”.
“But it’s a tricky game for England because Wales definitely have this confidence that stems from the qualifying campaign”.
