Now they act already a little differently. In many respects because in a midfield they had football players of the combinational plan. Bale is not classical "column". This is the football player with a fine speed, blow. All well know it.

at the beginning of a match. We will try to play the first number. If we manage it, Wales with pleasure will give this initiative and will operate on counterattacks, as in a match with Slovakia".
