Head coach anticipating ‘a big physical battle’ in opening clash against Wales

“We want to embrace it and learn from it, and keep progressing because it’s certainly what’s coming down the road. I don’t know if what’s coming down the road is going to be bigger and better, it will have to go some to beat the atmosphere in Cardiff, so these are the moments you relish, that you look forward to.

“The reason that it has been pretty good is because there’s an appetite to get better. That’s the main point. How are we going to progress our game and what does that look like? And let’s go after it and let’s see what we can do.” He added: “I think we’ve made a start; I don’t think we’re anywhere near where we can get to. The game is a very emotional one and being able to control those emotions so that we can do what we say we’re going to do is key to us.”“I’m obsessed with why teams keep being successful, why they are able to stay at the top, because everyone is trying to hunt them down. The Man Uniteds of the golden years.

“Leeds were playing unbelievably well and I thought ‘wow, City, we’re going to see the character of the side here’. And City went after them, broke them, 1-0, broke them 2-0, game over 3-0. “He’s a wonderful guy. Obviously, he’s doing a fantastic job there [at Arsenal)]so I wish him all the luck,” he said with a wry smile.“Yeah, I’ve met him a few times. He’s an impressive man isn’t he, there’s an aura about him. Respect.”
