Sky Sports News' Geraint Hughes pens his latest Reporter Notebook on the hopes of Wales' new generation going into their Euro 2024 play-off semi-final with Finland.
Beware of overconfidence. That simple message combined with how to break down Finland’s defence and ensure Wales’ remains intact is a key part of Rob Page's build-up to their Euro 2024 play-off semi-final. Wales dislike being favourites. It doesn't sit well outwardly with the group's mentality and most probably with most supporters. Underdog is far better.
So how do Page and his coaching staff prepare for this and ensure Wales don't become frustrated? Patience is an obvious answer, but Wales also have players who can hold the ball, deliver a pass and pull and push an opposition about so that gaps appear. This is where Ethan Ampadu, Harry Wilson and the ever-impressive Jordan James come in. It's not their job to fly down the flanks, but they might be the key to Welsh success.
