“Red Dragon Army” does not want to leave regrets
For a long time, Welsh football has lacked a sense of presence in world football. Except for entering Qatar this time, they only participated in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden 64 years ago. From Toshack, Rush to Giggs, and then to Bell, the Welsh team has never lacked stars, and has continuously raised the upper limit in the past 10 years.

This summer, Page took off the word “temporary” and officially started his era in the Welsh team.

He contributed 5 goals and 3 assists in the qualifiers, helping the team with super performance. Break into the World Cup.

‘Persian cavalry’ defend Asian football

Preliminary Analysis of Wales vs Iran Match
In the current world rankings, the Welsh team ranks 19th, and the Iranian team ranks 20th, which is evenly matched. But after losing 2:6 to the England team in the first game, the Iranian team not only hurt their vitality, but also lost their generals. According to foreign media reports, Iran’s main goalkeeper Beranwand, who suffered a head injury in the battle with England, will miss the rest of the game.
For the Iranian team, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Beranwand is one of the most important stars of the Iranian team. The Iranian team suffered a disastrous defeat in the first game, and Beranwand’s premature departure was an important reason.
The Welsh team, which returned to the World Cup for the first time in 64 years, performed well in the first game, drawing with the United States, the king of Central and North America, when they fell behind 0:1. What’s even more gratifying is that the 33-year-old former Real Madrid star Bale is not old. It was he who made a penalty and scored a penalty to equalize the score for the team.
In Group B, England thriving. If the Welsh team wants to qualify for the group, they will strive to beat the Iranian team and score as many goals as possible. As the world’s highest-ranked team in Asia, the Iranian team has always been tenacious and tough. Once the Iranian team loses again, it may be out early after two rounds of group matches.
