Gareth Bale is the 星／主役にする but that he is only at 70 per cent won't worry Chris Coleman... むちの跡s have been far from a one-man team

むちの跡s 直面する the biggest night in their football history when they line up against Portugal in the 半分-決勝戦 of the European 選手権s on Wednesday.

Chris Coleman’s team have lit up Euro 2016, with 勝利，勝つs over Slovakia, Russia, Northern Ireland and Belgium to reach the last four.

Here former むちの跡s assistant 経営者／支配人 示す Bowen?診察するs how they have done it and how they will 準備する for Cristiano Ronaldo and Co in Lyon.

THE SYSTEM WORKS

A lot of the むちの跡s success is 負かす／撃墜する to Chris Coleman’s foresight. During the qualifying （選挙などの）運動をする they were solid in defence with a 支援する four. They didn’t 譲歩する many goals and didn’t tend to 支配する 所有／入手.?

They would play on the 反対する and hope that Gareth Bale would step up with something special. But for the tournament itself Chris has seen something in a 支援する three system and his players have taken to it amazingly 井戸／弁護士席.

The strength of this むちの跡s team is in their midfield players. That is where the 最高の，を越す class 質 is. The system they have used puts big 圧力 on the 十分な-支援するs to bring the team width in attack and before the tournament I worried about that a little bit.?

But Neil Taylor and Chris Gunter have 証明するd themselves more than 有能な and have been excellent.

When むちの跡s have the ball, they have got 今後 and with Joe Ledley and Joe Allen playing behind Bale and Aaron Ramsey and a centre 今後, the 支援する three have had the prot ection they need.

Joe Ledley has worked tirelessly throughout the tournament having made a miraculous 回復 from 傷害

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GARETH

Gareth is the 星／主役にする of the team but I think he has probably played at about 70 per cent of his best out here. What has been pleasing is that other players have stepped up.?

むちの跡s have not been a one-man team and that is because other players, Joe Allen is an example, have come to the fore.

The form of Allen and Ramsey and others means that むちの跡s 港／避難所’t just looked to 攻撃する，衝突する long passes to Bale all the time.?

They have been able to link play through the middle, take an extra pass and build their attacks that way. Allen has been excellent at that. Bale’s 態度 also really helps. He doesn’t throw his 武器 in the 空気／公表する when a move breaks 負かす／撃墜する like Cristiano Ronaldo does.

He has never been like that. With the team so 確信して, Gareth can now take defenders away from the ball and leave space for team-mates to work in. And if the ball never comes his way then it doesn’t 事柄.

むちの跡s do not want the fairytale to end and their togetherness means the 味方する is more than the sum of its parts

TOGETHER STRONGER

You look at むちの跡s and you see a team growing together. They are strong behind the scenes and that’s important. The Russia game showed to me how they had grown.

They （機の）カム in to that having lost to England but the way they played, the way they just passed the ball through the ロシアのs, spoke of 信用／信任 and belief and togetherness. If there were 疑問s or 問題／発行するs in this team then that is when you would have seen them.

They did not seem to be playing under 圧力. They were just playing their football and enjoying it. That is 決定的な and not all teams at this tournament have been able to say the same.?

When they fell behind against Belgium, that was a 実験（する） 同様に. They could have shut the game 負かす／撃墜する, tried to keep the 利ざや at one and then had a go late on. But they didn’t.

They just took a breath, put 約束 in their football and went on to 勝利，勝つ comfortably. You just can’t do that in football if you don’t believe in each other and 信用 your 経営者／支配人.

TWO MEN DOWN

中断s mean that むちの跡s will be without Ramsey and central defender Ben Davies against Portugal. I 現実に don’t think Chris will worry about 取って代わるing Aaron as much as people think.

He is a 広大な／多数の／重要な player but Chris can juggle in that area. Jonathan Williams could come in as could David Edwards but I think it will be Leicester’s Andy King.?

He can get 今後 but I also think he has the discipline to 持つ／拘留する 同様に and showed during Leicester’s season that he is a 質 player. I do think that the 防御の 問題／発行する will be 占領するing Chris’s mind more.

James Collins will probably be the man to play but he isn’t used to playing on the left 味方する of a three. Nobody is apart from the guy who is 一時停止するd. So that is going to be a 抱擁する challenge but I don’t think Chis will want to change a system that is working.?

You never want to give players an excuse not to 成し遂げる and going to a four man backline for this game would do 正確に／まさに that.

むちの跡s seem to have got as the tournament has 進歩d and the belief inside the （軍の）野営地，陣営 is sky high

Cristiano Ronaldo is the stand-out player in Portugal's 階級s but むちの跡s will not feat the 半分-final 対抗者s

NO FEAR

Portugal don’t 脅す me and they won’t 脅す Chris either. I don’t think they are as good a 味方する as Belgium and むちの跡s have already beaten them.?

Portugal have the 質 players that we know about and I think Nani in particular is having a good tournament.

Gareth Bale will also be 直面するing Pepe, a Real Madrid team-mate he 収容する／認めるs helped him to settle in when he first arrived in Spain.

So that will be an 利益／興味ing challenge. But むちの跡s’ 勢い is such that they will go in to this game on (a)自動的な／(n)自動拳銃 操縦する and that helps.?

They are so comfortable that they will think they can 勝利，勝つ if they just stick to what they have been doing. That is a priceless mental 明言する／公表する for any team to be in, 特に at this 行う／開催する／段階.

They must not obsess about Ronaldo and Chris won’t let them. むちの跡s are 直面するing a 味方する they can （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 in the last four of the European 選手権s. That’s an amazing thing to say, but it’s true.
