Chris Coleman, coach of the Welsh national team, spoke of Gareth Bale‘s importance for the Wales team and considers him a world-class player. In an interview he gave to FIFA.com, the coach spoke of the contribution that the Real Madrid man makes.

«He understands his value, he understands his importance, of course – he’s a world-class player. We also know what he brings to the party when he puts a Wales jersey on. What you see is his passion and his enjoyment when he plays for Wales – he’s absolutely loving every minute of it. Of course the Welsh public adore him, as they should, and he now knows he has the capacity to surpass other people and get to a major tournament. That’s where all great players should be performing», he said.
