In a post-match interview, Aaron Ramsey expressed how Cymru’ last-gasp draw against World Cup semi-finalists Croatia has helped them move on from their World Cup disappointment. The Welsh team made a perfect start to their Euro qualifying campaign, securing a point in Split thanks to Nathan Broadhead’s 93rd-minute debut goal. This was their first game since the World Cup, where they were eliminated at the group stage. Ramsey highlighted the importance of getting a point on the board and gaining momentum to put their World Cup disappointment behind them and focus on the future
.Looking ahead to their next match against Latvia, Cymru boss Robert Page knows his side must secure a win against a team ranked 133rd in the FIFA world rankings. Page has chosen to manage the minutes of some of his key players such as Ramsey, Kieffer Moore, Daniel James, and Harry Wilson, to ensure they are fresh for the Latvia game. The plan for the team going into these games was to target four points, and with a bonus point secured against Croatia, they are on track to achieve their goal.
Ahead of their opening Euro qualifier, Cymru will honor retired players in a pre-match ceremony and give their all-time record scorer Gareth Bale a special send-off. Skipper Ramsey is hoping for a memorable night as he leads Cymru out alongside his son, Sonny, in front of a sold-out crowd. With no new injury issues, Cymru are in a good position to secure a win and continue their journey towards the Euro 2024 finals.
Latvia manager Dainis Kazakevics acknowledges that Cymru can top their qualifying group after drawing against Croatia. He believes Cymru has a high level of talent, even without their former leader Gareth Bale, and can compensate for his absence with their attacking potential. However, Cymru must take the initiative in the game against Latvia and find solutions to break them down if they want to continue their strong start to their Euro qualifying campaign.
