Wales【Qatar World Cup:Full Explanation】

・He served as Wales U-21 coach for two years starting in 2017 and became assistant manager of the A’s team led by Ryan Giggs in August 2019. Following Giggs’ suspension, he began leading the team as interim manager in November 2020 before officially taking over as manager in June this year.

・In the Nations League, he promoted Wales to the top category, Group A. In EURO 2020, he led them past the group stage, and in June 2022, he led them to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, their first World Cup appearance since 1958.

・During his playing career, he made 41 appearances for Wales, captaining the team once, and says his proudest moment in his career was a 2-0 win over Hungary in February 2005.

・”Welsh Hero”

・A “monster forward” who single-handedly decides games by leaving opposing defenders behind with his natural speed and physical ability. At his peak, his sprinting ability is among the best in the world. With a devastating shot from his golden left foot, he has scored many memorable goals from midfield and FKs from outside the area.

・As an individual, he has scored a total of 100 goals for Madrid and has scored final goals on major occasions such as the UEFA Champions League final, bringing the title to Madrid.

・He was the biggest difference-maker for the national team, scoring two goals against Austria in the playoff for a World Cup berth and setting up the game-winning own goal against Ukraine with a direct FK.

・”The Poster Child for a Counter”

・He is one of the fastest wingers on the premier, running up the space. He is a sharp dribbler, reminiscent of Bale, who can dribble in a straight line, and if he breaks through vertically, he can cross or shoot from a cut-in to score a goal.

・He is quick to switch between offense and defense, and can also contribute to the team defensively with his dedication to constantly running with his abundant athleticism.

・”Solidity is The Charm of CB”

・A versatile defender who can be used at center back and side back. His long feeds to the back and passes underfoot are accurate, and like a center back, he has a good sense of danger and is strong in aerial battles. He is also a good aerial fighter. He uses his running ability and wide defensive range to eliminate space in the front line.

・At Tottenham, he began to run up into the vast spaces in front of him and join in the attack when he saw an opportunity. In addition to finishing, he also carried the ball to draw opponents or create a gap in the markings, and he was a perfect fit as part of a back three.

・“A=Arnold II”

・An attacking SB developed at Liverpool, he, like his senior A-Arnold, is a crosser, feeder and one-on-one player with outstanding kicking accuracy.

・He is not a big man, but he has a strong and aggressive physique, and he is not easily defeated in a ball game against a strong Premier League player.

・If he improves his judgment, positioning when defending, and accuracy in each play with experience, he should be able to approach A-Arnold’s level more closely.

・”The Gems of Wales”

・He is a scorer who scored 18 goals and provided 10 assists in the Championship (second division in England) last season. He is a goal scorer with an overwhelmingly fast dribble that leaves opponents in his wake. His finishing work is also dynamic. He is a versatile player who can not only score goals by himself but also set up goals for his teammates.

・With his Jamaican roots, he can be used in any offensive position with his rare physical ability and natural technique.
