You never forget your
first time and for the conquerors of Group B, those one and only Welsh Dragons,
date with history and overall of achievements. This moment will always be in the
minds and hearts of the Wales squad after consummating the ultimate of feats and
advancing into their next stages of Euro as first in their group.
Unthinkable is the appropriate
word to describe how these group achievements since their first until their last
match in this event, doing it with such success and drive to perfection that left
many in awe. After all many experts predicted that, this group fate was going to
be a simple one and labeled as underdogs.
For now, the Wales operate
at their helm Chris Coleman by doing an immaculate work and so far conquering his
goals, this time appalled by his group doing the unthinkable of netting their
pass to the next rounds.
Now his goals are to overcome
the odds and maintain his group cool with one thing in mind to focus and take
it one challenge at a time.
With a win under
their belts in their presentation over Slovakia and then a loss against their
UK rivals England, today Wales’s squad showed off their mettle and
determination. As the Welsh Boys doing the best, they are capable of going beyond
by dominating a modest Russian National squad.
Not only giving their
goalie Hennessey a clean sheet but also doing it in a very raucous fashion
after putting three goals in the scoreboard for what seem to be an easy win
over the hapless Russians, who never showed any drive to excel in the whole ninety minutes.
How easy it was for
Coleman going from frustrated to content as his squad did follow all of his instruction
one by one and by delivering in one of his desires of maintain control and possession
of the ball throughout the whole match. That was one of the demands of the Wales
Boss and it seems to work at the end.
As Aaron Ramsey the
sole culprit of opening the scoreboard for Wales with a failed passing game
from the Siberians, he opened up with a nice shoot for the 1-0. Then seeing a belligerent
Neil Taylor doing the same in the 19th for the 2-0, by far the Welsh
was doing the ultimate to cruise to an easy win.
Until came the man of
the hour and the one that delivered the go ahead goal and the insurance over a feeble
Russian backfield- only take was to defend from the rapid exchanges of the Welsh
and seeing how an inspired Gareth Bale scored the final goal.
Closing a very successful first stage for the Wales
squad and advancing to the next rounds in their effort to continue with the momentum
they already started since their participation in the qualifiers- to net a spot
in EURO, where they did the ultimate of feats.
Indeed, if you say if they did come
a long way and maybe we are to brace ourselves to more from the Dragons- that
after last year successes- included the World Cup of Rugby and now another
satisfaction is on the works if this group continues with his all around inspiration.
No stopping the Dragons
as their next date with destiny put on hold- as the rest of the first stage
matches left, will align them with a new foe to play. For now the Welsh followers
won be going home as they sang earlier before this match.
As Toulouse lived a
joyous afternoon and covered in red all over, the Welsh Dragons fairy tale in
this edition of EURO is one start of more to come from this group determined
chaps looking to continue their successful saga.
