However, Gareth Bale and his teammates accomplished this task.

Year of historical achievement

Wales might consider 2015 year as historical for sure. They have achieved more than possibility to play in final tournament. The Dragons have outrun England in FIFA World Rankings for the first time.

Generation of talented players have grown up. Now Wales have such stars as Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. Exactly these footballers have been the main key factors of success, since head coach Chris Coleman has built the team around them. Bale should be distinguished among the others, he’s shown himself as the real leader. Real Madrid’ player scored important goals and helped the team during crucial moments.

Head coach

Head coach of Wales should be told about as well. Chris Coleman has done incredible work, especially considering that other performers are not so strong as Bale and Ramsey. There are numerous fair players in squad, but footballers of Real and Arsenal play along with performers of Nottingham, Wolverhampton and clubs from other minor leagues of England. Surely, they are not so skilled as their star teammates, so squad is not too balanced. Though, Coleman has managed to make the team to show solid team play, which allowed to improve defense. Solid defense in turn gave Bale possibility to create chances without taking care of it, which lead to several confident wins.
