A hurtful loss that
left the Dragons out of the world’s utmost competition, but the positive result
that came after this, is that this squad has been playing a one of a kind
football since its participation in this past Euro.
Credit this
improvement in its Boss Chris Coleman, after he took over the Wales helm.
This squad has seen a
bonus and an upgrade in its game, that has elevated their manager value and
awaken a lot of interest in several Premiership teams looking to get a hold of
his services.
So close but so far
away, as yesterday heartbreaking loss to the Republic of Ireland, was a cruel
blow to this man project going in the right direction, but finally seeing
unfold with a not so positive reality.
Still the way this
man has made a total turnaround for the best in this national squad has already
raised a lot of headlines and putting Welsh football in the map for many years
to come.
After yesterday’s
abrupt ending to their quest of making the playoffs, very well looking so dominant
in the course of the whole match it was just a lone goal that made them succumbed
to a hardened Republic of Ireland.
After their third place
Euro finish after losing to a 2-0 score to this edition champion Portugal, the
Dragons did put on a show losing only one match to England and beating Slovakia
and Russia to advance to the next rounds.
Ever since the qualifiers
before Euro, this squad has been playing against their foes regardless of their
status, a top of the line football seeing a new squad that has elevated its status
as a competitor.
Not a sorry squad
that just was a participant and not even in the years of Ryan Giggs, this squad
played a decent football and now look at the way they are performing and with
the current squad and new young guns coming, we have a contender.
Still the way this project
is to continue seeing its success one more time, is to keep Chris Coleman at the
helm of the Dragons and see a continuance of his work to develop this squad into
a winner and maybe start planning for the next Euro 2020 and World Cup 2022.
This is in the Wales
federation directives decision not so difficult but logical of getting Chris Coleman
back to another tenure and start really delivering more positives and elevate
this squad and put it among the elite in the world.
For this squad, only international
participation in a world competition was in the 1958 World Cup celebrated in Sweden
finishing in sixth place and reaching its quarterfinals, this under manager
Jimmy Murphy.
Since then Wales has
seen a parade of fourteen managers that unsuccessfully could lift this squad
level and game, until the arrival of Chris Coleman that really has brought a
lot of his optimism and ambition that so far has delivered many positives.
Despite the loss and elimination
from World cup competition, this is not over but a start of something big
happening in Welsh football with a simple there is always a next time and accompanied
with a bright future ahead.
That will up for
Coleman, after all he is not getting young but more seasoned as a manager that
many of the top owners in the English Premier League or in the big leagues would
like to have as their man at the helm.
However, a Chris Coleman
return to lead the destinies of the Tîm pêl-droed
cenedlaethol Cymru will be a wise move by
him and not let go of his blueprint already delivering success and more to
come.
