BAKU (Reuters) - Wales' proud interim coach Robert Page said his high-performing players grow in stature when pulling on the national shirt after another stirring European Championship victory.

The Dragons went way beyond expectations to reach the semi-finals in their maiden appearance at the tournament in 2016, and Wednesday's fantastic 2-0 win over Turkey put them on the verge of qualification again for the knockout stages of Euro 2020.

"What is it? Is it the crest on the chest that makes them raise their game? It must be," he added, reflecting on what galvanizes the Welsh."It's powerful and everybody would walk on broken glass to get here into this squad." Page said that while inspirational captain Gareth Bale and midfielder Aaron Ramsey would grab the headlines, Wednesday's performance was down to the team.
