- Run with that for two minutes, Jon. - What is 0?

- Jest something filming. - Hello

Kingy. Kingy.

Get a little fun with him.

Association of Welsh football.

In Collaboration 51 BT SPORT Films.

I do not know how to turn off!

Presenting the Jonny Owen Film.

For almost 60 years Wales has tried to Get It To hit a big football tournament.

Opportunity for Wales...

Oh, he's hit the beam!

And the referee moves to the spot!

Well, that's us, 1-0 here and 3-0 between the two.

McGuire is a deputy...

And then... It's a horrible thing!

And Véller has hit and got the second gel!

0! Well.

A kick kick for Scotland!

0, and he got his hands on it but did not stop him.

Bob Wilson...

You almost never say that it was a Scotsman's hand.

I do not think, Edward. It was from the back, I think,

Very decent work... Devonshire... Butcher!

Latchford!

And here Matheus goes on and finds Riedle.

It's a really great guy!

Le!

Keegan... It kicks off... Oh!

Druan at 0!

For a disaster for Wales! They do not believe it!

Well, on the bench, the Welsh are on top!

Wales as a whole has been depressed.

Not done.

Once again, beaten at the final stage one.

The faces of Welsh players report volumes

And it's very sad considering

The incredible support was that they were,

The Welsh team was, to a large extent, their own enemies.

So another sad story about disappointment for the Welsh.

Again, so close, yet yet so far.

But I need to go until 19580 to remember Wales on the biggest platform.

In 2010 the former player Gary Speed was appointed as the National Manager for Wales.

I am a very proud man today of receiving an invitation

To be Wales Manager.

After 6 months as a manager Wales has moved 72 sites up to FIFA sites.

Good afternoon. Wales football manager Gary Speed, died at 42 years of age.

The Football Association of Wales has told the BBC that it seems

He took his own life.

27th November 2011

I received the call from Cheshire Police.

TORCALONNUS. The Welsh football mourns after the death of Gary Speed.

On Sunday morning, I'm standing a bit on my way

And here I'm looking at my wife

And asks "Jest tell me to her... Am I awake now? "

Last night, Gary Speed was a hotel for the BBC on Football Focus

With Dan Walker in the new studios in Salford.

This is not right... This is not...

Am I absolutely sure? Am I still sleeping here?

I went with it the previous week.

We went to Belgium to organize the games.

And he was a com master of the meeting.

The Serbs and the Croats were in the same room, and the Scots

And we did musicians doing high fives in the hallway,

Things were so good.

And then on Sunday I got the call here.

You talked to him yesterday.

Yes, Bues I spoke to from yesterday's morning.

We had a good conversation. We were laughing and a hairdresser.

I saw him on Football Focus yesterday

As did millions of people.

I spoke earlier with Dan Walker, the program's presenter.

He said there was no suggestion of any problems

Nothing at all wrong.

Na. Nothing at all. I I.

I can not believe it. It's a grass for me, and it's gone.

It's like... it's...

I do not know what to say.

A huge coiled for everyone in the world of football.

It was such a good character, do you know?

And fun.

It was lost when we did all in perception.

Something you will never come for.

Everyone was full of sympathy to his family.

What they had to go through.

It was a very sad time.

Everyone was so fond of Gary

Because of what he was doing outside the boy too.

Apparently it was the first of our managers

To enter to go to every town and village.

Did you know that if there was an event, Gary would go there.

He liked to have fun and laugh.

Enjoyed at the heart of all the boys.

Enjoyed in the changing room. His life was Peggy, you know.

Everyone was usually a favorite of Gary.

It was great.

To play over it He was a man of man.

O see what had been done on the field.

Strong character.

People looked up to him.

We failed to understand why this had happened.

It was not a long time since we were with the man.

I remember when it was appointed, everyone was excited.

He had a plan I'm moving on.

He changed many of the football and behind the Icons.

He made sure that there was discipline, that club ambience.

All professional arrangements had been put in place by him

Which led to turning the corner, which is why the results were improving.

It's not a comparison of how it was when I was first, really.

On nutrition, science, how did we train...

Everything. It was perfect.

The weeks after his death, the nation came together, in a way.

Because of the office in Cardiff we get daily visits.

People leaving flowers.

In a very sad way, the nation merged.

We know how lucky the country was to be a manager and coach

For all our time.

Of course, I'm not seeing it in the same way is football fans.

They see it as a footballer.

It was for me.

19th century 2012

Nobody really wants to be here today, is he?

Na. No one, I would not, if I'm honest.

I think... on the one hand, it's probably a matter of pride

Most of my career - have the opportunity to lead my country...

But I Get That Opportunity because of the circumstances

That nobody was able to predict them.

Frog loss is a terrible thing.

This was a different case, well, I did his job afterwards.

In a way, it was only possible to go on doing so well.

When you consider,

A manager often does not take someone who was doing so well.

They've been getting good results and things worked.

So why would you want to change that, is not it?

They have won four of their five.

Lately, not just the win

But the philosophy and style of play

It's been a breath of fresh air for us all

And we've enjoyed that.

I can not believe how difficult it would have been for him

I stepped in there.

Do you know, I'm sure the job has always been a dream for him

But not in these circumstances.

It will not be easy.

I know that. It's never.

Certainly in this situation, it might be a little harder.

But I'm ready for that. Unless I think so

That I could have an impact, I would not have received the job.

Gary Speed's endowment is likely to be what happens next. Is that the case?

I knew it would be hard, but I did not expect her to be so difficult.

It was as if...

I do not want to be disturbing, but as if playing football was meaningless.

Only... What's the point?

Even at the office in Cardiff, sitting at the office...

In the early days, I do not like being in the chair,

I do not like being on my own

In the office. Speedo was there only about a month or two earlier.

There was no breath in us.

And we all want it, because we all want to do it for it.

But at the same time, it was as if we failed...

Did you know, it was not enough for us to get started again.

The nation was grieved. And the players are certainly grieving too.

And I'm pushing the players, too hard, I think,

When I should have better understood what they're going through too.

Our results were not good.

And that was not to be done by the players, and everything I did to do it.

The atmosphere in the squad was not great at times.

Did you know, I went into the squad for the first time for Serbia

Where we lose 6-1

and the burden was to be a length of length.

He was one of the people

I would have talked to him, I'd like that situation.

Of course, it is not possible. He's not there.

I'm not brave enough to change what he had been doing.

To what I wanted to do it.

I remember traveling from the bus on the bus

Get rid of minds.

And he smiles me. And I said "That's it, that's us. That's the end on that."

I had to stand firmly, and started to be myself more

And be brave

And do exactly what I wanted to do instead of what Speedy did.

I stopped with one or two closest staff to me

To change this and change it

And they were suspicious.

But I'm definitely that that is the way forward.

And of course the big thing was to change the captain, 0 Aaron I Ashley.

I knew that Aaron was near Speed

But before I see that affect her husband, on the field,

And that's the last thing I wanted.

I think I could be one of those affected more in the team.

Looking now, I think that's the right thing to do, apparently

And it helped me to get over that.

Everyone asks "How were things with Aaron?"

And it was absolutely right.

I saw that when we arrived at the squad the next time.

We did not know about it, in fact.

We've never heard about it. Y.

Aaron would have been able to go down another route.

Had responded differently

And show a different attitude to give the captain I Ashley

We probably did not have achieved what we were just doing

For it's so important that we, Aaron, do you know.

Wales failed to reach the 2014 World Cup.

They are now ranked 117 in the world.

The lowest in their history.

He needed to shape his own, and he did

And this is Chris Coleman.

Come on, bois!

- Campaign To reach Euro 2016 - Now about it or even?

No, I would not say.

In the future, teams can win their place sometime.

But to this group, now, I think the time is perfect.

This is the time. We are stable.

We want to do this time.

The first was needed.

To get the campaign on foot, we needed to win.

No matter how we did that.

So I do not say that it must finish first or second.

Just think, at 6 or 5 games

If we're third, there's an opportunity.

And it was a matter of making sure we were in reach

And that meant we needed to keep it in games.

We do not want to meet.

This will not be a campaign... Where we will meet on being close

And get backs down for being ages to make it.

This must be "We've done it."

I thought we were too nice.

And as a nation, we are. The people of Wales are nice people.

If we need to play ugly for ten minutes, we will do that.

That's what teams do for us.

Teams do not come to Cardiff and lie down to us.

And when we go back to their garden, they make us as difficult as possible.

The biggest impact, I say, were the supporters.

They become stronger, and believe more and more.

Helps us through difficult times in games.

The excitement could be felt. There was a real passion there.

That's when we started to get seriously, because the fans were incredible.

And they did that because they saw what the players had.

The fianh they looked at the players, who were bated.

Ready for anything Talk about the challenge.

Ready to do anything for Wales.

And that certainly turned a switchover into everyone's mind

Did you know that something was on our way?

Everything was like it was in the right place

And everybody gives a little more faith, a little more momentum

And this team came to realize what exactly we can do.

Mark came the news to me

And I forgot to do anything else.

We wanted to go to where our boots were...

Where were all our supporters.

And the players joined.

What does this mean for Wales, For these people, Chris?

It means everything. We've all dreamed about this.

This was all. This is what we always want.

We're going to a tournament.

For the first time for 58 years. Going to France was incredible.

And for Welsh fans, our fans - Our fighters, as we call them -

They have been waiting for a long time about this.

I always look at the table and it's lovely to see...

Do you know, there is no Q in Wales, is it?

But when looking now, there is Q there and... Wales.

This target has been with us for so long

And when it happened, it was more relief than anything

But I had to do nothing

And I always think that there is enough talent in the squad to do it.

There are many in Wales who thought they would never see the day.

It is already clear that the decision to expand the European Championship

It's worth doing it.

Many nations will appear for the first time ever in the Euro

And we are all sure

This will be a fantastic tournament for all those involved.

And the first team to be removed in number one plot.

England.

And at 6l pot one, as we decided, we're going to bot...

Four.

Wales.

Also for Wales, this is the first time they took part.

They were there at 58 in the World Cup

And they will play England, as you can see.

The next tim.

Group 4

England and Wales...

Slovakia.

Russia.

June 2016, Cardiff, Wales.

I remember watching the World Cup.

My first memory is 1978 in Argentina.

And I'm always dreaming of being in a tournament.

I did not make it as a player, so Holding was a manager...

Gives the most incredible feeling.

And it's hard to explain

For someone who has not been through everything we have as a nation has been through it.

Where it was something we've ever wanted.

And he had... Yes. Incredible

Dinard, Brittany, France.

Tim Cymru Home (Center)

We deserve all this place here

And all this pressure.

We deserve this. We've been asking for it for so long.

Now we can not say "Oh, it's a little bit..."

Here's what we've been screaming about.

Six months in advance, there were family and friends

We all know about their plans and trips

And the money that is spent

And the campers who sell out and all kinds of things like that

So we started to know how great this tournament was.

I went to France fory. Fly to Bordeaux.

I've been stuck with excitement.

That was the wife's words to me this morning.

"You're a bad mail" she said.

The atmosphere was in France in Bordeaux and Toulouse

Wherever you go, there were Welsh people.

They played the Tournament In their hearts

And I think that the story of the tournament was Welsh supporters.

Bordeaux, June 11th.

Wales vs Slovakia

I woke up to the sound of people drinking and Singing and shouting.

I can look out of the window

And see them all in the pub over the road.

(AW) / amazing incredible.

Jonny Owen, who has been on his own Tour de France, follows Wales.

How many people do you think will go, tickets or not?

It's a once-in-life trip, somehow.

Everyone I know I'm going into football is going.

Everyone.

So I'll walk down the high street in Bordeaux...

It'll be like Merthyr's high street there, I think, as I walk there.

So when we travel to the g...

And know that we want to reach the city, reach Bordeaux

And goes to feel it.

I did not really hurt me before that, I did not think,

We're really going to be in a big tournament.

There were thousands of people around the bus.

Screaming us Wants the best for us.

There were only red shirts... Taffs everywhere.

It was incredible.

I really do not want to go to work.

I want to wait and drink the beer...

We have had good crowds at home, and the lovers have traveled with us

But France was different.

We know there is a difficult test to come

Against Slovakia's very strong team, who will probably be favorites,

Alas, you know cm, they're not good.

They Have been Getting Excellent Results.

And if you grow cm to the four teams in the group,

We are not the least likely to Sign.

It is still necessary to look around and enjoy the environment

Alas, it sounds something, do you know cm?

It means we have reached a tournament.

And we need to appreciate that.

He talked about that gale for months. Honno was the first.

The name 'Slovakia' would be thrown to you ever and ever.

When you sensed that excitement, the look forward.

Did you know, we were standing in the corridor, listening

And it was some kind of surreal. Unbelievable feeling.

And I remember remembering the players.

Sometimes this can have an effect.

But there was no sign of that on ours.

I knew we did not beat, knowing that we would be performing.

Obviously, I've had experience of big games before

And large outbuildings outside

And it was one of those feelings again huge.

The atmosphere up there was high.

If you're playing for Real Madrid, every week is a circus, is not it?

Every man he walks, one of these is in his face

And squares everywhere.

Some of our players play in the Championship.

And one or two have been playing just below that.

So they will not have used it all.

So it's nice to have someone like that on the other peg

With all the attention and all the pressure.

He was a positive presence to be around him.

He did not show any nerves at any time.

He also had great pressure.

I think everyone gets rid of the fans' energy

And look forward to the gém

And well, what happened then was incredible.

I still have a cheese skin when thinking about that now.

On arrival, we went out to warm up

And before you see a large amount of red.

I think everyone who is interviewed for this will be

At the time of the anthem in Bordeaux. How emotional it was.

That's when we came to understand what was really important for the Welsh people.

If it's possible to press 'pause', and stay in that moment,

You would be there forever.

Hamé was a good player.

And we said "Look, here's what it does. It's very dangerous."

He will receive the buck here, he will attack the edge of the box...

We worked on that for two or three days

And within 30 seconds, he did exactly what we worked on.

Defenders fly Everywhere.

Ben Davies kisses the breeze.

Did you know, it could have been very different for us.

And then, we settled quickly into the game.

You either love international football and the experience

0 represent your country, and hi-

Understand what it means -

Or you are not.

There is no such thing as life somewhere in the middle.

In Iwc, one of the world's best players with us -

Who understands it to nothing.

That's the moment, I think, we've all been waiting for it.

The noise levels went through the roof.

And it was like... here's us.

This is what it is. This is what we always want.

We felt the tournament had really started for us.

They're definitely stronger than us.

We can not get out of our half. We're too deep.

We caught 1-1 here.

They became equal

And you think "No, come 0 no, can we hold hold?"

Well, here's 70 minutes

And the boots are tired.

Hard games, of course, against some of the world's best players

Then hear the anthem being sung by the fans

And that gives you the extra 10% for you.

I've been fortunate to play football for a long time now.

I've never seen a connection between the team and a set of fans

As it was in the first gém sma-

He wanted us to go up the field.

We want to go behind to protect Slovakia.

Hal came on the pitch, we got Joe Ledley on.

And as he works...

It was a straight move from the practice field.

In that system, we try to get one side to the other as much as we can

To move the other team around.

Pass through by Joe Ledley.

Great guy, for the perfect player you would want in that situation

Who does not think twice

The way we slipped to the corner corner.

That was a tremendous experience.

And then the atmosphere on the field with all the players,

With the fans, have gone up another level yet.

You senses the relief, the excitement.

That feeling...

"We're going to win our first team in the European Championship."

He scored early in the game and went on to win her

In a very difficult gém -

Full emotion -

Shows that this gr \ 7'vp is very special.

And there was not going to be enough.

We talked about the fact - And repeat that

And we thought it was not a stereotype,

To draw attention from England -

The first gém is in the tournament.

If you can win that, especially in a group phrase

You set yourself perfectly to remove weight from the rest of the games.

Have things changed?

The fact that you are on top of the grv "vp.

Having three points, that England has one point.

Has that changed your preparations at all?

The way you think about the gém?

(No) '-

Group B, English opponents have just been removed...

Lens, June 16th

- and... they are Wales. - Wales vs England.

Ho-ho! That's yours!

England vs. Wales Come on!

I was born and brought up in Swansea.

Do you know, Welshman?

So there's something about England.

Anything about them in sports... I want to beat England.

In leading to the grv games, England was everything.

That's all the people were talking about. Gém England, gém England...

And what's going to happen and who's going to win

A honna fydd gém y grv'vp.

I worried about the attention, the scrutiny.

The big picture. Everything that matches the tournament.

And could we cope. It was something new for us.

It was a circus, the gém then. Real.

It was... Everything she came with and all for 90 minutes of football.

Things will be said.

There will be a lot of going and coming.

And in fact, it does not matter who says what, why...

When the whistle is blown, that's when the important questions...

Are Required and You have to make sure you have the answers.

Get enough points to go through.

That's all that was important.

Gém England was the second of three giants.

And that's how we look at it.

I think our boys enjoy it

That the media in England publishes everything we say

And then complains to us.

England is elevating themselves.

Angry, pride, patriotism.

You said that all, and of you really think it

And are you surprised by the way, some of the English squad could have bite?

I saw the interview with Ballet - He was laughing

The media are going to try to put words in his mouth at times.

How many 0 players would England get in the current Welsh house?

Not one

It is a huge statement. We're a small country.

There are not many players with us to choose from

And there is some feeling that we are not against the world, do you know?

So that under siege.

And that's what we have with us.

We knew the press was going to ask such questions

So we mean...

Why not do it a bit for them

And why not say it as it is.

I never said they had no passion or pride.

But I feel, in my opinion, that there is more with us.

I can not miss It, in fact, who takes their cornerbikes and so on.

We all say in what was "We want to play for Wales.

We're a proud Welshman. "

Not a matter of not respecting England - They're not great!

It was as if people were either loving or kissing the way we responded

But he worked right for us.

There was something a bit of being on that one.

Since this was the middle of the group "vp.

We know how hard it is for Wales.

If you are England, you had the pressure in the tournament.

We could feel the pressure on them.

We can feel it. It was incredible.

I really look forward to it.

I think, you know, this would be the time

That we would beat them.

I remember coming in on the half, and we had one gang ahead

Against England in the Euro

And yet there was some feeling

We are not really happy with the way we are performing

And we know, unless things get better

And we started to play better

Then it would come to bite us.

Our guy in the first half did not probably help us.

I think we have something to hold on

And the team was thinking of trying to defend that.

We did not play as we should

And the occasion may have had a little bit on us.

We sat there with 30 seconds to go

And four points, which are probably enough to go through.

And then within seconds...

We missed our chance

Late surrender was difficult to be accepted.

And I'm disappointed that we have not shown England how good we are.

We did not put everything in it.

I always look at myself first.

I think I should have worked differently through the week.

It could be my messages to the players

Give too much emphasis on fighting and not enough to express themselves.

It was a terrible feeling.

One of the worst I've got in football.

I do not think it was the fact that we lost in the last minute.

But we have not shown what we can do, as we should.

Be the promotion before scoring

We looked at the screen to see the time

And I think it was two minutes to go.

Of course, she was 1-1 at the time.

The people in the midst of Welsh supporters were crying.

Did I think unless I was a player

I suppose I would be in that crowd with the fans anyway

And something may have come over to I think

And to give a message somehow saying "Come there, keep your heads Ian"

Because it's not over.

Though it's been now

There is another guy with us again in a few days.

"You still need you."

As soon as the England team finished after the final whistle, we had lost

It did not matter That was over.

It's all gone. Only Russia counts.

We went away from the hotel

We did not reach the field of practice

We went to the beach and got a bit to eat

And the spirit was good.

I asked, how long did you talk about England?

Or, to paraphrase,

How long are you talking about England?

What is England?

He was telling volumes about the players

That they can handle that situation

And then put it aside, insulate it

And say "Next, Russia is next."

It showed the other side of the team.

Worst we've dealt with it worse than that,

So we know the group is strong.

People will always say that each team draws together

But there's something special with us here

Where there are boys from different backgrounds and everything

But everyone clicks.

From the hell!

Do it Do it

Many of us have grown up together too

Has come through a fairly similar age group.

This is what we always want to make children.

Now play at the highest level together

Have fun, enjoy it, that's what we all want to do.

This generation - And Ramseys, and Bales -

All in grv "vp similar age

And they would have started with a mini football.

Youth games with primary school children,

Move away from having 11 players on a huge field

To a very heavy blade

And try to kick the ball as hard as you can to one direction

Rather than pass it.

I think that has given us a foundation

Where we can help players to go and play football.

Because we like to pass the bolt.

There are young players in Britain

It does not have so much time with the belt and maybe Spanish Players.

And much of that is the result of the weather and resources.

We do not want to train and do not want to work with them -

We can not, because there is no room for us to play - the fields are not with us.

You improve young players by giving them better facilities

And get coaches who want to move on as coaches.

If you keep them early and work better with them

There will be a better chance with you.

The key is to see Trail To the first team.

In some soccer clubs and in some countries,

You probably can not see that

Or you long years away.

But in Wales, I think you could see

If you do well in the under 21s or under 19s

Or even at Victory Shield level

There was a fast track to be

Where Wales was not afraid to throw you into the deep end

No matter how young you are. We saw that with Gareth.

It is beginning to show now

That we started about ten years ago

Bear fruit and we see the results.

Clearly he started under Gary Speed, going to the foundations

And make things more professional around Wales

And then obviously, this boss came in and did incredible things

And I think we started to get things better

And the spirit of the team is improving too.

Things have turned into many

Where players want to come and join the Welsh squad even with injuries.

And that's where we are now. And Chris has moved things forward

And has created the best environment that has any international interest.

There's a motto - Together Stronger - Stronger Together.

It comes from the fact that the players are

And the staff have been in very difficult situations

Where we were there

And wait together and come through it.

Do not go out for a couple of beints and have fun at work that does it.

That's easy, but it's just five minutes.

All the other things, when you've been in very difficult situations,

And people do not turn their back on that situation -

Do not turn your back on you

I'm always a fan of Ash a Rambo a Balo and Joe Allen.

There are other players that are so important.

Did you know, your Joe Ledleys, your Andy Kings

Your Sam Vokes, Simon Church...

Chris Gunter has about 70 caps. Unbelievable

Lawn, met?

Here's how to play with a £ 90 million player.

I can go all of them all. They're always there.

They do not miss games.

Sometimes you do not play

But they always play an important part

And they're huge.

But they run the changing room. I do not run the room.

It is their room changing them.

The boys who have not reached the field or who do not have a gém,

You know, they're going to go

And they're not very happy they have not been on the field

And I like that.

The intuitive response is sorry you're not playing

But then there is no point of puffing about that

Because you can not change the mind of the manager.

You need to be there and you have to try and help the boys

And get the boys to relax for such big games.

The days before Russia were very positive, right

When many people expected him to be a negative time.

It was a good time, I think,

To try to get over the loss against England as soon as possible

For I do not feel we've played so badly that,

But there was a loss, especially in the last minute,

Has cast us hard.

But I think that making sure that everyone sings from the same sheet

And still ready to go, it's everything to play for,

Definitely got help...

My hands are free!

No, no, no, it's not too much. Only 80.

This is the best time of your life. You do not realize that, but it's true.

Exit and express yourself, enjoy and enjoy the experience.

You know your reign. You know what to do.

You're a good player, or you would not be here.

That was a real turning point for us, when we said.

OK, what's the matter? We've just lost England.

It was huge giant but we were still in a position

Where we know, if we win, we will pass through.

We would have received that beforehand.

So it's not black all.

That must be given to the manager for that.

And the psychologist and all the staff around us.

Why did we pick us up after that day against England...

Aches that the group is honest, that group then 0 players.

When we're losing and not playing well, the players feel to live.

When you're in the squad's camp, it's hard. Very hard.

Very serious.

But at the same time, they enjoy

Because they respect each other

And because they have the knot that holds them together.

- Can you do that all day? - We can. I would not go a long way.

In this way, all the way. Down the wing.

- Bamboo protection. - Bamboo?

Good word, bamboo.

We tend to forget that the players are human beings

And they have to enjoy this experience too.

They all enjoy playing football over their country.

Sometimes we put too much pressure on them.

Toulouse 20th June.

Wales vs Russia.

We made the video, we did the game for the tournament with the boys

and we did the video with the team sex two months ago

and we can say at the time.

Do you know, I'm getting a chat with Joe Allen

Saying that I think his new hair is a grievan and

and we laugh and pull legs

And you could say that there was a special knot between them.

Immediately.

And by the end of the video, they jumped Ian and down with them.

I looked at Rocky - Rocky IV, yes? With the Russians? - -

During the day, and that was a good preparation.

I think that many of the boots have watched that.

Curious, in fact, a case when going in to her,

Many of us felt it was possible that this was a final gém

The tournament if things did not go from our party, so it had motivated everyone.

You can not decide what the result will be, somehow.

Whatever the outcome will come.

You can decide how you want the performance to be.

In our changing room, we knew we could beat this team.

If we go out of the tournament

We can not go out on our terms, play in our way.

We knew exactly what we wanted to do.

Go for it.

From the first whistle... All fell for your place.

You can not sit on the side of the field as a coach

And watch the team playing

And enjoy real.

I think the performance is one of the best with anyone in the Welsh shirt.

It's easy to talk, but showing what we can do is the difficult piece.

I looked at the boys on my head and I thought.

"This is not good. These are good players. "

Especially the way the lead players attacked in the gém.

We're going for those passes that do not work sometimes.

If you do not offer them, you will never know.

Joe Allen gets the ball in

Play her through Aaron Ramsey, who is not hostile... Ramsey!

Wales 1, Russia no!

Gareth Bale has some space.

Players on his left, and he wants to try to use Neil Taylor.

Taylor is in! Opportunity to get the second for Wales!

The keeper saves!

Taylor's second offer!

Make it two!

Chris Gunter is on my side I, the side of the bench.

It plays great.

He turned to me and said.

"Enjoy this, boss, because this does not happen frequently."

And here I think, you know...

Everything in that particular thing depends on it.

Ramsey leaves him to Chris Gunter

Who can knock towards a Russian penalty box.

He puts it to Ramsey near the edge of the D.

He has options in the box... Ballet is one of them!

- Bale! - That's us!

- That's the third! - That's us!

Finally, Gareth Bale is getting it tonight!

Three gels in three gém gr \ 7'vp!

The last 16, they are coming!

Wales 3, Russia no

And it was almost inevitable that this is the man again.

Gareth Bale!

I want to make sure that everyone knows who Wales is

And what we can do.

We can only imagine how she was in Wales.

I would have liked to be there myself.

The celebrations at that time were a chorus

Because it had finished at the top

And could say that it was not my best in that group

Unbelievable. And it was a dream. It was a huge dream for us.

He often felt that if all of Wales were there.

It was unreal that so many people were out there

But you know, we are very proud of our supporters.

Not just in the stadiums, outside the stadiums.

It was as if everyone loved Welsh fans there

And we left France a good impression, I think.

Wherever we went, we see them in their numbers. Hearing them.

"Do not Take Me Home" Wherever you turn.

All the players sing at the hotel...

The thing was infectious

Because people are there to enjoy themselves.

Seeing such support gives you an extra boost.

My Mets In 0 Merthyr, drink red wine for the first time in their lives.

They thought it was a vinegar.

We're in France, enjoying...

What's next? I'm going to Toulouse now.

How do I go to get there? I do not, but I'll arrive.

Wales is successful in reaching the final of the 16th as winners of the grv'vp.

The Germany, England, Spain and their like are the big countries all

Going on to the other half games.

So you have to see this as a great opportunity to go ahead, possibly,

Much more in the tournament.

It does not matter who comes out of the hat, she'll be hard.

I think, because of what is at stake,

You live on your emotion much of the time.

- ♪ To save the national team. - Paris 25th June

- ♪ Your defense is terrified. - Wales vs Northern Ireland

♪ Will Grigg's on fire

♪ Your defense is terrified ♪ Will Grigg's on fire

♪ Your defense is terrified ♪ Will Grigg's on fire ♪

Here we are - Paris. Y Parc des Princes.

Euro 2016.

Wales vs. Northern Ireland.

It was a hot day in Paris.

He was a hard man. Two things are well organized.

There was sometimes a feeling, a little, of you getting from the fans,

For the first time, we are happy to be here, enjoy the experience

But we're not the favorites.

We need to go through it.

Yet, there is an expectation after we came through the first three teams

Where people did not expect us to perform or... you know.

I think one or two have said the basin we do well To score a gel.

So we came through that.

And we are not the team that we expect to go through here.

The pressure, almost, could be felt in the stadium from both sides

Because it was somewhere we had not been before.

And following Russia

Everyone was expecting us to have another guy like that.

Football is not like that. She is never like that.

This was our most expensive gém.

Some people will find it odd that I say so.

I felt the nerves and everyone on bins.

Em hafined pinnacles.

Even the Red Wall felt that on the day.

They've had a great unfailing run when I go into the tournament.

There were not many since we played them

And I think it was 1-1 equal

So we knew it would be a battle.

They do not surrender goals easily.

They're ready to sit alone and I'm sorry.

They've definitely done their homework with us.

And we're on them.

We are really in our preparations.

We knew we would have to do our best

And that there were very few opportunities.

They will defend in a low block that will not be enough there.

The space will be before them

And they'll let us get the ball.

I've been in that situation before

Where you have to continue, be patient.

Move the ball as fast as you can.

She was different.

Tim is not trying to score against us

But a team trying to stop us from scoring

Therefore, that was a problem for us for periods.

It was not easy to play at all.

We do not want to throw too much in while going on

And: Then Be caught by anti-assault

Because that's their own.

They are firm in the back, and make things hard.

They were more comfortable than we were in the gém.

Their plan worked.

So at half we said "With a look. They do this for every team. "

There will be a gel in it.

Little luck perhaps, with us or them.

Make sure that it will be with us. Wait in the gém.

She looked like it would have an extra time, possibly kicking off the spots.

We knew, with Gareth and Aaron and Hal before

We would have the opportunity.

He got Rambo the bél and played a little one with Hal

Then slip it over to Balo.

The whole stadium was exploded.

We felt relief.

It helps when you have players that can create miracles

And of course, Gaz did.

And I think that the way the gel came to reflect it was the kind of thing

And the kind of performance we needed from us.

There was not much between the two.

We had to answer a different question in that guy.

In Paris, in the stadium where I've ever wanted to play.

I remember trying to move from the way.

But I did hit it with a fool

And it was like a big car crash, in fact.

My shoulder was injured.

It was about eight minutes ago.

I wanted to complete the task - I felt I could do it.

But of course, I'm in a lot of pain.

It's a rock, the captain,

Everyone everyone looks at when a voice is needed

And leads by example on the field.

It puts its body on the line, as you can see,

Will he not want to leave the field in any gém.

Looking back, that might not be the right decision.

It's sometimes hard at the gém.

You are in the middle of things and do not think clearly.

North luck fans were screaming.

I think they felt that there was an opportunity with them here.

Of all our sports games, the gém then lasted longer.

The same guy was for its own net but for us, it was huge.

And then going on, of course, I'm in the Quarters.

For us, we came through because we had a player on the field

Who could make the difference.

When we came through and won the gém, it was fantastic.

He had to share the whole with the families

And the children come on the field then incredibly

And definitely worth the fine from the Football Association.

We've taken too many hours of work, spent too much,

But does not matter? No. Cause us in the quarters

Joe Allen... I read on Facebook...

Water is over two thirds of the world.

Joe Allen goes over the rest.

And that is the case.

How do you keep fresh? It's a long tournament...

Yes, it's a shame that here but even for the players, it can become boring.

You can mentally bother.

How do you stop that?

It was important to us

Get the right environment from the beginning

Because neither of us had any expectations or information

About "it's how things in a tournament would have come true.

Two Ben Davies.

- And one Jonny Williams. - Behind my face.

We're a family. It was like living together.

We lived together for six weeks.

Barod?

In it you

What do you both do?

I can see your reflection behind me, go...

The boots get as good as possible, it was not difficult to be together for so long.

We enjoyed every minute.

So be on holiday with you all the time.

Be on holiday and enjoy the occasion

We make quizzes all the time,

Play table tennis,

The "Qwylio games,

We do everything together. We get a round of golf.

I get a cramp in my arm.

The hotel was the place to relax.

To eat, sleep, play table tennis...

Darts...

The youngest boys played on the Playstations or the Xbox

Or whatever.

The fact that we enjoy spending so much time together

Really help in the time off

When other teams would be bored, could.

I think the standard of table tennis has improved tremendously

From the beginning to the end of the tournament.

The rest of the staff were rather scared to take a point off the boss.

- He thinks he's a good player. - Oh, it's terrible!

Hwre!

- Echrydus. - They're on it all the time.

- When we can not get a while, from us? - No.

Trying to keep 23 players happy and part of things

For four to five weeks I always went to be a challenge.

Wales is the only one of the Home Nations that is 6th in Euro 2016.

Northern Ireland is too much out there.

England, well... They did what they did against Gwlad yr lé.

Surprised Happy? All of the above?

- Penia hi! - He has to blow.

Penia hi! Penia hi!

Country of England.

I still do not know how that went out.

Someone has been released or sent to someone.

And before you turn around, there's over Twitter all

And when I started having a panic because I did not believe it.

He came out, and that's us.

There was nothing we could do.

I think that confident young boys play football,

Enjoying themselves, away together,

And there is no respect for anyone,

But the fact was that what happened, when it happened,

Who happened...

They're clapping! Make the clap!

Make the clap! Make the clap!

I can not describe it properly, be in that environment

Again, as I say, after playing for Wales for so long,

Being over 0 was something unforgettable.

Chris Gunter may lose his brother's wedding...

Neil Taylor loses Beyoncé tomorrow's night

And very unhappy about that...

What will you lose?

Or what do you hope you'll lose?

I planned everything to be at the end of the final, so...

I was the clever one in the group, I think.

I experience feelings that I do not know could be felt.

Lille 1st July.

Wales vs. Belgium.

It's stunning. None of us think it right.

From the perspective of the experiences you've got in your life,

How does this compare?

My daughter's birth is equal, I say.

Better than any wedding I've been in and say I will.

Giant Final.

So... I've just gotten my baby as she sprayed.

Na! That's John Murray!

John!

John Murray, Ilais 5 Live.

What will it be tonight, if you see you well, John?

What will she be tonight?

I want to go for...

- Be honest, John. - Lawn, I want to be honest.

I want to go for 2-1 to Belgium.

As I said, John used to be a 5 Live voice.

People are better than 0.

That's me John now that you've gone to Belgrade tonight.

We're over.

- Correct. On top of, Murray. - I feel awful now.

I think the public in Belgium think...

When they saw they went to play Wales,

I'm siv "vr they rub their hands and think" place. "

Because Belgium was not outstanding.

In number two in the world, I think.

But I think if you had asked the Belgian players themselves

They may have given a different look at how they think

Because we've had good games with them.

And it's been so good.

Nerfus

Full excitement.

I sit here commenting...

Wales in the European Championship Quarters.

I still can not believe it, but go ahead of Wales!

I want to suck this atmosphere.

He felt like a girl away from home.

Although we've got a load of 0 fans then,

The size of the stadium, and the size of the Felgians were there,

Makes her feel like a homemade girl.

It was a nice British night - Rains.

It was a bit cooler.

Belgium began to be strong, but they are not good

Really great.

They got a couple of opportunities, a block or two on the line...

Three or four men throw themselves in front of the ball

And we're still holding it somehow.

Well, sometimes, when playing against good teams that are good at the bass,

There is a tendency to sit down and watch them

And say "Yes, they're good with the ball you're not?"

Rather than stepping in and having an impact and disturbing them.

In such a big space, the first hitch is key.

I think most people think - that's the end

Because we will have to attack - They'll take advantage of the space behind you.

Well, here's a show that it is not always the case.

We're knocking on the gém.

From then until the end of the first 45 minutes,

We're knocking on the gém then.

And there were gaps in the gém,

I looked around thinking "We got a very good gem here"

And we're pushing these, the favorites To win the tournament,

"To the best!"

Between the gel and half time

They do not know what to do. They can not live with us.

We put them under pressure at the time

And I thought "There's an opportunity we'll get here."

I've seen Neil Taylor scoring in the Ewros. He never scored.

So I thought "I'd like to get a gel!"

He saw Ash running away, celebrating,

That was great for him.

That could not happen to anyone better in our team.

That's the fastest I've seen running!

- His celebration. - His celebration... it was incredible.

Real-performance performance. Arising when needed.

He pulled us up from being under the Belgians

And he gave us on the way.

Half a time, In it,

We are absolutely confident that we would go on and scoring again.

And I think they knew that too.

We know they're going for opportunities.

But we're creating opportunities.

I remember the bale coming through Bale

And I'm on to the box.

I remember standing up looking at it, before I can see its options.

We all shouted on Him to pass to Tayles

It was in acres of space, but...

I knew I thought "Hold for a moment. I could create a little bit of space. "

And he did something I never expected to do.

My life is certainly sure.

That was the feeling that the guy was there.

It was incredible for Hal and the team.

He felt that it was possible.

I did. He stopped his way.

The sv "vn, the explosion that happened at the time...

As I said, only a quarter of the stadium was Welsh supporters,

But he went mad there.

I would like to sit here and say.

"Bues I drilled that into him for two or three consecutive days,"

But I do not.

It was likely that we were 25 minutes away from reaching a semi final.

And they had a moment or two.

We had a break for a drink, and I got a drink

And Sean tried to throw gel to Rambo.

As he threw it, Tayles looked the other way

And he put it on the side of his head.

The bench then said that that had somewhat broken the weight,

We have had a chance to laugh for something

Because we're very nervous it's 2-1.

Had we been pushed 6l for the last ten minutes or so

And I think it came with a free 2.0.

Chris redirected me to the right

And I think it's just five minutes after 6

And from my mind "I did not cross her!"

Paid is the cross of the faithful in Christopher!

It was not like us in the last minute.

See, see Sam...

It was perfect for me to try to attack, tell the truth.

And when he left his head, "He goes in!"

For a bowl, with a tune.

The biggest thing that will keep in mind is that it was in that corner.

It was all like a wave that came over our heads.

And they were jest going wild.

Know that we have two hits ahead here

And only a couple of minutes on 6l...

We want to win the gém.

The best feeling I've ever had on a football field.

Would you put the world to re-live the last five minutes than that?

It was all a dream.

It was all a dream that we turned out like this.

I've played for Wales for eight years now

And I've never seen Wales team playing so well.

I think I had fallen down

And feeling all the energy disappearing from my body

0 on ND in our We.

To beat Belgian, the favorites of the competition at the time

And To beat them 3-1 in the Quarters

Are you going to the final team?

Give you a gém from the Ffeinal.

I'm a man and I do not cry often

But in the gen-final round. Wales!

There was no sense at the time.

I remember at 6l y gém and say this several times.

"What do we do?"

Wales is now the smallest country to reach a semi-finals in a big tournament.

Yes, we've arrived at a tournament.

That's done.

Can we get out of the group '? That's done.

Wait for a minute... We're in the semi-finals

It's a feeling... Wow.

A great story from your own point of view.

Your contract has run out on 1st July.

You have no club at the moment.

Has your representative been busy over the last few days?

Erm... Do.

Yes, yes he is.

They were great.

And this is the best time N life.

Oh I do not expect to see the day.

Wales!

There is a great party when Wales is away from home.

Even when failing in the rounds there is a real spirit among the fans.

And Chris Coleman is at the heart of that and Gary Speed before that

Trying to succeed and FA Wales.

FA Wales has been great in creating the atmosphere

So we're a great family watching Wales.

We certainly could not handle it all.

Because we were not in the cities out in France either

Apart from the games...

Dinard was a quiet town.

None of us realized how excitement was home.

Speaking to my wife, he said everyone was in the village

Wip the red dragon from their windows

And everyone watched the gém, and left work early.

We heard about the support parks

And, before the first day everyone was saying, like.

"There will be no one"

But to see the videos at 6pm

It all gave you a backbone.

He saw all drinks thrown into the air

And everyone celebrates.

People who did not follow football tell the truth

Surely with all.

You did not realize how much the effect was at home

And how wild it was all.

When watching the support parks the numbers grow and grow

And everyone in Wales below the sire.

He was a chorus

But where we were we were very quiet.

Since when have you been in France?

When did the tournament start?

I do not remember. 10th?

Six months ago, yes? Tenth June, yes?

Over for the first gém.

Do not worry.

We went to Toulouse for England in the morning

And the ydo zone zone closed?

But we saw the gém in a bar called the Four Monkeys.

For Ireland we were in the supporters part of Ireland.

Great, special supporters.

So that was an incredible experience.

And here's here and you're around

And all the squad walks past my cream!

Could not hide it!

It was better than all our hopes.

And this has crowned all yndo?

So thanks, bois. No problem.

Thank you very much.

- Lyon 6th July, Wales v Portugal. - They have succeeded incredibly

Better than any rugby before Wales.

Because football is world wide.

Rugby... Approximately twelve countries take it seriously.

While football, well there are so many countries.

So obviously we've reached the round in rugby

But this... the country has never been involved in something like this.

So, well, if we're in the final it will be incredible.

I know that there is much to be done in the days before the...

Final Gém.

Without Aaron Ramsey without Ben Davies

How many losses are there?

As we know before that they are so good players

But they've been so great for you so far.

I remember looking at Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies

Immediately on 6th Belgian Belgian 6th final whistle.

Both laugh and cry.

Surely that was both difficult.

They know they've done something special

But also know they'll lose the next gém.

Two yellow cards in five dogs are very salty

To lose a final gém in a tournament like this

But for me and Aaron it was so disappointing

But I remember to say during Belgium.

"This must be done to the boys and got them in the semi-finals."

Our hearts bleed over them

After they performed just like everyone else

I arrived so far.

But again this is a football tournament.

You nurture the mindset with Chris

0 a gém on and over, an opponent at a time

But how hard it is now I'm not thinking about the semi-finals

90 minutes from the Fifth

You're 180 minutes of winning the European Championship.

It must be very difficult not to let Go your mind roam.

It was very similar to Northern Ireland

Play against such a declining team

But they were no more skilled.

People did not have a lot more about them in the championship

Because they were not very obvious in assault

And they were not Ilifo

Unlike Portugal

On the day I think I'm more nervous

It's not part of the gém or being playing.

She was like knowing that you did not have control over anything.

You rely on other people

And you can not influence the gém.

Fair play For the boys came in.

My sports are good, and they're not blameless

But I felt they worked so hard to be there

It was rather unfair that they wanted to miss out.

It was a strange but exciting feeling

And look forward to the challenge.

It was clear that they had done their homework

And with the big teams that does not always happen.

We had scored ten, I'm siv "vr.

We were not the top scorers I'm siv '\ / r.

And Portugal had to reach the semi-finals in a different way

But nevertheless, I wished them.

In the ten, fifteen, twenty first minutes

Tactically it was clear that they were well organized.

Protective, we were exacerbated.

That was a sign of their respect for us.

They were blocking low for most of the gém.

Two like.

We're fairly sharp when cutting, like them

And they protected well, like us.

The gém, how she was and the way Portugal played against us

How they went to close every door...

Protect deeply.

And then Aaron Ramsey he can open the door.

It was so frustrating for me To watch the gém from the side.

Oh, I feel we could have had an impact on the gém.

He plays so well with Ballet.

Because they are worried not only about Balo, but also for Ramsey.

Apparently we were the best in the first half.

Unhappy at half I was not comfortable...

We said that at half time to go about them.

At half time, there was not between the two

So when coming out for the second half

It was all so positive and we continued to be able to create an opportunity

And enough to win.

We were four minutes to reach the FIF.

I never saw John Charles playing

But my dad mentioned it was like that.

Jumping over all strong shoulders, pv'ver...

When you see Ronaldo does that

There was nothing you could do to stop that.

I've never seen anyone being able to stop the bolt then.

You look around and hang it there.

That's us, that's Cristiano Ronaldo.

He knows where the gel is.

That's why they feed it into it.

You can not jump as loud as it. Neb.

The bottom of his legs is at the top of James Chester.

From that moment, I lost some energy

And Portugal is ahead

It's an ideal situation for them to be able to defend

Keep track and hit through wifi-attack.

It was perfect for them.

The gif changed to the Universe.

That's the first time we got five fun minutes

And then they screwed them etc

They'll score again straight away, somehow they did...

I killed the boy for us, probably at our heads.

The tiredness was obvious among all.

Loses 2-O in Final Finals.

People do not realize how much energy is used

And the emotion in success to date

And it was all the same one that was over too much.

It's hard on the top stage against world famous players

And that's what's happening.

In the back of your mind you hope

If Iwc had been on our side that day

That we could have reached the final.

We would go through the whole again if there was an opportunity

And I do not think we would have done a lot differently.

On the final whistle and out of the competition

It was upsetting to be honest.

I think...

I had to leave the field.

Leave the field and sit alone.

I knew that was the end.

No Fifth For me to play.

That was the dream

And think how feeling it would be.

And then finally fortunate enough to be there

And is 100 times better than expected.

And then it's all over. That's us Finished

He turned the stomach.

It was really hard.

I remember being in the changing room and everyone else on the field still.

I did not want to go out.

Oh I know I have to thank Everyone

All the emigrants who came out Follow us

And I had to talk to the media, and I did not want to do that.

Everyone went through this difficult time

And To put ourselves on the world map, in a European tournament

It was an incredible success for us

And to go as far as a tournament contrary to the expectation.

We were the third best team in Europe We are not the third best in Europe.

Not only does it change football, it changes a country in my opinion

Because events like this do not happen frequently.

The Ewros will affect Welsh football for years.

That's the end of the tournament for us but not the end of the team.

It was a perfect example for any country

How to prepare for a big tournament

If we wanted to lose losing well together.

And succeed in success with each other

And the headphones were just about that.

We did something nobody expected us to do it

And succeed much more than people's expectations

And as a country we were immensely respected by the tournament.

The only thing missing was the trophy.

It was not just the experiences on the field that were important to me

Even the hotel was in Dmard and everyone went to the bus ..

The atmosphere was incredible.

Chris Gunter plays his music the same three times.

Every time on the way to the airport the same old songs.

That's how she was.

Our history was losing but I'm going to go so far

It did not make it a little easier when we lost the gem.

He won France against Germany to reach the Fifth.

We watched the gém last night

And feeling somewhat jealous

Since both of them then continue.

See France celebrates at the end. That's where we wanted to be.

That's a praise We were boys because they did not want to settle

And think "yes, we arrived in the Final"

You could still feel that there is so much disappointment

And I'm proud of that.

Portugal 1-0 beat France in an extra time to win the tournament.

The first in their history.

We came back to Dinard and got a day as a cohort

Reflecting on things, so the flight of the airplane at home was rather quiet.

I had some very tired boy.

You try to understand the truth

These were not just a few football matches for Wales

And enjoy them and do well. It was worse than that to the puddle.

It was clear that we had raised the whole nation.

People know us now.

Sometimes, like Cymro, go somewhere in the world

And people do not know where Wales is

From now on, the boys of Wales put on the map.

I realized how much this meant for everyone.

We thought that it would be quite ordinary cleaning

Few people are clapping, etc.

And as we were out of the Euro now would not be a lot of people's worries.

People have to go back to work to find another job

Since they have stopped the Ilall.

In years it was - there were probably three or four people there

Welcomes us out of the airport

This time, we came off the plane, the streets were there

Fully crowded, cars were pulling in, hand waving.

I thought, god, this is fantastic.

There was no idea of what was ahead of us in Cardiff.

I've never seen anything like a player before.

It was almost as if we had won the competition, and being honest.

It was an incredible feeling, hoHolanhygoeL.

We are a small country

And I think if you are not from Wales you will not understand it

And people said "Was it OK to do this?"

But this is a country that has never done this before.

That's the first time we've been able to prove how things were at home.

I do not know anyone knew how many people were there

But it was incredible.

And here I am with Balo and Rambo.

I think Ashley is on one side and I see Gunter there.

And here I'm telling Balo...

"God, venture I have not seen anything like this, are you a dog?"

And he said "Well, of course, I've just seen this in Madrid."

We've won the Champions League. "

So that's a little bit of my breath.

Getting this experience with Wales was something incredible

And I'm sure \ 7'vr everyone will remember it for the rest of their lives.

Everyone said thank you and I think "Well, thank you for anything?"

I do not understand what we have done. "

The welcome at home was something... He was not a surprise

But it was an incredible event, seeing so many people out

And hear all the stories about everyone, and to go back to the fans again,

The supporters went out for a couple and did not come for five weeks.

I know I'll remember forever to be part of that

And it's nice to hear people's stories

When they tell you what it meant to them

And how their family was inspired or whatever the story was.

It's something I do not think it would ever happen,

Especially for Welsh football

Has come from 3,000 fans at the Cardiff City Stadium to watch games

And in a couple of years, in no time,

I saw that response especially if I will never forget that.

By the summer of 2016

Wales was eighth in the world's best team list.

The biggest to climb anything in the history of football.

A quarter of a million people came out to the streets I congratulate us.

That was just a bit.

We went further than anyone had expected, for me,

So it was very nice for us to be in Cardiff

3 Qweld all the supporters Wearing their shirts

And the children and everyone so happy with us.

People who had failed to get the chance to say thank you

And more importantly, I think, there was an opportunity to thank them.

Welsh fans received an UEFA "Outstanding Contribution" award

Out of time in Euro 2016.

I never did, never think we would be in a position

Where the whole nation was proud of us.
