Bale voted best Welsh player
Coleman and his side received a major boost yesterday as Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has returned to fitness after recovering from a calf injury.
“But we’ve been playing with each other now for six to eight years and we know what is at stake. Italy didn’t want to play us”, he is quoted as saying by The Guardian. Let us know in the comments section below.
Even if Group B leaders Wales lose in Zenica, and Israel take the race for qualification to the wire by beating Cyprus on Saturday, Chris Coleman’s side will be expected to finish the job against Andorra’s part-timers in Cardiff next Tuesday.
Wales have yet to lose so far during their Euro 2016 qualifying bid. It’s been on the cards for a long time and it would be great if we could tie that down.
Bale has won the award for a record fifth time and Coleman believes that the achievement is greatly deserved due to his fine form throughout the year for his team.
“We’ve got quite a bit more flair than Greece did but when you’re as solid defensively as we are and you have the attacking flair of Bale and Aaron Ramsey, you’ve definitely got a chance”.
“I have prepared well for the last couple of weeks with my rehab”.
Real Madrid’s Bale hurt his calf on 15 September, but came on as a substitute in the 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid.
They go into those two games having reached an all-time high position of eighth in the Federation Internationale de Football Association world rankings, but Coleman’s plans for high-quality friendly opposition next month have produced only frustration with Italy among the countries to reject the offer of a Wales friendly.
“It’s all about Bosnia and getting three points and showing everyone what it means to us to represent Wales”.
