Chris Coleman Surprised with yet Another Disappointing Draw for Wales

By

After managing a stunning performance at the Euro 2016, Chris Coleman and his team have received praise from various quarters.


One of the most important elements will be not to allow this praise to get to the head.

Wales started the campaign with a comfortable 4-0 win over Andorra, but those days seem a long way back. Prior to the game, Coleman admitted that his team were depleted due to injuries but a draw against minnows Georgia is simply acceptable for a team with qualification – and even beyond – aspirations.

By

Chris Coleman has urged his players to start dreaming about potentially reaching the final of the Euro 2016 or even going on to win the tournament itself.

His comments come after Wales managed to do the unthinkable by reaching the semifinals of the Euro 2016 following a 3-1 win over Belgium. Wales were not expected to reach the competition let alone reaching the semifinals of the European Championship.
