FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 2022: Gareth Bale praises Wales caretaker coach Robert Page for securing 'massive win'

Firstpost  

Cardiff: Gareth Bale has praised Wales caretaker coach Robert Page for keeping the team focused despite off-the-field distractions and securing a “massive win” over the Czech Republic in a 2022 World Cup qualifier. The victory moved Wales up to third place in Group E, one point behind the Czech Republic in second and four adrift of leaders Belgium, having played one game fewer than both. It was a much-needed tonic for Wales whose main coach Ryan Giggs remains away from the team due to his arrest on suspicion of assaulting a woman last year. Belgium, the world’s number-one ranked side, are the overwhelming favourites to top the group, while Wales have already all-but-guaranteed themselves a play-off after winning their Nations League group last November.

Though Poland were a far stronger proposition than Finland, who Wales had beaten to reach Tuesday night's eliminator, most managers would have been desperate to replicate the most eye-catching part of the 4-1 win against them: the pace and interlinking of strikers Harry Wilson, Brennan Johnson, David Brooks …
