Page “couldn’t be any more proud” of after Wales sank Croatia in 2-0 win

Rob Page was filled with pride as Wales rekindled their European Championship qualifying campaign with a 2-1 victory over Croatia.

Harry Wilson’s two goals secured the win for the Dragons, even though there were tense moments when Mario Pasalic scored for Croatia with 75 minutes on the clock.

Nonetheless, Wales held their ground and rose above Croatia to claim second place in Group D; both teams tied with 10 points. In the lead-up to Sunday’s match, questions swirled around Page’s future, but he expressed his satisfaction, saying, “From the first minute right to the 95th, we had to dig deep.”

“With the help of the supporters, we have made it another great night for the lads.

“The boys dug deep. Their attitude again in this camp has been incredible. I wish you guys could come in and see it.

“Everything’s okay. I can’t praise them enough. I think seven of them are not starting at their clubs, but they put the Welsh jersey on and they play like that. They want to come and they enjoy it.

“I couldn’t be any more proud of them. Actions speak louder than words.

“I’m sick and tired of having to keep coming on and talking about my future. Let’s just talk about the boys and the performances they have put in.

“I get emotional because I’m so proud of them and they deserve all the plaudits they are going to get. We can’t wait to meet up for the next game.”

Wales captain Ben Davies added, “It’s a big result for us. Our backs were against the wall and we knew what we had to do coming into the game.

“It’s a big night but it means nothing if we don’t back it up next month.”

Wales’ final two qualifiers in November will see them make a tricky trip to Armenia before a home clash with group leaders Turkey.
