If Chris Coleman is
one happy chap, you are right, after all the man at the helm of the Welsh
National Team has already delivered one major satisfaction to this tiny UK
nation after netting its pass to one of the world’s most prominent events in
football. In the case of the second one,
his squad did the unthinkable in their long awaited debut and putting three
points of gold in their favor.
Is like something you
pulled from a motion picture script or a football fairy tale.
As many experts
predicted a modest participation for the Welsh Dragons in this event, suddenly
the tables turned in their favor after making their long awaited debut in EURO,
with a very meritorious win!
Yes, the Welsh Boys delivering
with style the incredible feat of enjoying the thrill of victory!
With one inspired and perseverant, initial
eleven, the Welsh Dragons came ready to put a wonderful display of their
football all afternoon long not giving up in their efforts despite seeing the
equalizer goal by Slovakia substitute Duda in the 60th minute.
With their talisman
or leader in, Madrid’s top gun Gareth Bale the Dragons went up on the
scoreboard with the clock just marking 10 minutes into action, very well with dominance
in the midfield alongside the Dragons backfield. Many thought that this match
was to stay that way with just one goal even at the end.
Do not bet on it,
because the insistence of these Welsh is one to admire, with determination they
seal their destiny in the 80th minute. With a miraculous goal by
Wales substitute in Hal Robson- Kanu who delivered in the clutch and turn out
to be the game winner.
As both squad
Managers doing what they do best, moving their pieces like they were playing a
game of chess, their strategies worked wonders as well their gambles paid off
when they made their changes that delivered. Both managers in Wales Coleman and
Slovakia Kozak, saw their method of their madness working wonders, when both of
their substitutes pulled their weights.
Even though many say
about the move from Hennessey to Ward in the goal post because of this first
one back spasm, much blame the replacement keeper, still the play from the
Falcons was extraordinarily amazing for the equalizer.
Still we saw one
winner who really played as there was no tomorrow and if it was they were
playing like a final, which was the difference in this match, when the Welsh
insistence in the Repre posts paid off dearly.
I mean a Wales
National squad qualifying after a six-decade absence and all of a sudden, they
pulled a miraculous win, sending its legion of followers in France and back
home into frenzy, delivering with style and all around winning spirit!
This is something
worth applauding and wait until their next date in their Group play against
England on Thursday 16th, seen as all around Derby, and later on
Monday the 20 against Russia. So far, the standings in Group B are with Wales
situated in first with three points with Russia and England one each and
Slovakia with zero.
Not bad for a squad
that its only participation in a World Class tournament, being the 1958 World
Cup celebrated in Sweden has been the only major event attended. As this
edition of EURO 2016 will be their first one ever in their history and many,
foresee after today’s performance a major date with history for the Dragons.
