“So now I think we can kind of focus and focus even more on what our, kind of aim is, which is obviously to win these games and to qualify the World Cup.

“It’s all about how you channel your emotion and how you structure that into the used in the right way. And you know, we have so much emotion because we’re naturally passionate because were Welsh.

“We have to be able to do something that we’ve never done before. And I still think that that is going to be extremely difficult for us. Do I believe that we can? Yes, but do I kind of want to sit here and kind of saying all the Hail Marys in the world, I want to kind of still have a little bit of reality and honesty with where we’re at right now. And what we what we want to do.”
