"After losing 1:0 to Italy on Sunday evening, the Wales national team secured the second position in Group A and a direct ticket to the next stage of the championship, having a more favorable ratio of scored and conceded goals. "I am very proud of my guys and can't wait for the quarter-finals. The character the team is showing is phenomenal. For this reason, I can only suggest not underestimating us to our opponents," - said the team's coach, Robert Page, after the match. "The remaining 10 showed our strong character and we supported each other. In fact, no one can doubt the character demonstrated by our team - every time we give our all on the field. Playing in a minority, we had to not give up, 'cover' the open spaces, and try to create goal-scoring opportunities - and we succeeded in doing so. The reason for this is excellent game balance - our team is very threatening in attacks, constantly staying close to the opponent and playing sacrificially," added the team's defender Aaron Ramsey to the coach.
