Chris Coleman ‘desperate’ to get Wales back into action

Wales manager Chris Coleman admits there will be a “desperation” around his Euro 2016 heroes as they start their World Cup campaign against Moldova tonight.

Rivals to Ireland in World Cup qualifying Group D, Coleman’s side have a Cardiff homecoming after their summer march to the Euro 2016 semi-finals. But Coleman admits Gareth Bale and company cannot afford to relax on their achievements so swiftly after their time in France.

“What happened at the European Championships was way beyond mine or any of our dreams,” said Coleman.
