Football: Wales boss Page praises gritty team as he eyes Turkey win

REUTERS: Manager Rob Page praised the character of his players after Wales salvaged a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in their European Championship opener in Baku on Saturday , leaving Group A wide open after the first round of matches.

"To go a goal behind to a team like Switzerland and show the endeavour to get back into it is a credit to the players. Overall it is a positive start," the manager told reporters. Page also praised the hard work of goalscorer Moore, and said he was much more than just an obvious threat in the air."I've been impressed with Keiffer throughout his time in international football. He is not just a presence up top, his link-up play is good and he has a good touch."

"I liked the fact he was angry when he came off. He had run himself into the ground, he had given us everything and was dead on his feet. At times you have to make some decisions that upset people, but the team comes first."
