Belgium Football World Cup: Chris Coleman backs Wales 'bravery' against Belgium

Chris Coleman says Wales can combine flair with commitment and belief if they can win their Qatar football World Cup qualifier away to favorites Belgium on Wednesday. The 50-year-old former Wales coach beat Belgium 3-1 in the Euro 2016 quarterfinals. But Coleman notified that Wales must play to their full capability in Leuven. Coleman said if anyone thinks they can go to Belgium, play 90% or even 95% of the game and get a win, it's not going to happen. So they've got to go 100%, they've got to believe 100%, put themselves on the line and not be fearful to get it wrong.

Sometimes we do that, play into ourselves, not just Wales, all sportsmen do that but if we can be brave we are good enough to get a result. I know they are the best team in the world, they are number one, but we have done it before and we can do it again. There are going to be moments when it's going to get hard, it'll be tough and those are the moments you just hang on like your life depended on it and you wait for a little opportunity.

We will get one of those chances and when you play one of these top international teams you've got to get used to large parts of the game where you're being dictated to in terms of custody because the opposition is just that good. You have to sit back and wait, and that's what we have to get used to now. Wales is unbeaten in their last four meetings with Belgium since a 1-1 draw in Brussels in October 2013 in preparation for the Qatar Football World Cup.

There was also a 0-0 draw in Brussels in November 2014 before Gareth Bale made Euro 2016 qualification perfect in Cardiff the following June. Wales' biggest win against Belgium was the last time they met, a 3-1 victory in the Euro 2016 quarterfinals in Lille, France. Coleman said the knowledge of the older players in the squad will pay dividends for Wales, not just against Belgium, but throughout the qualifiers. He said the guys who have been through it are used to it, and when the balls are flying around you, they are disgruntled because the game is so fast.

Those who have dealt with this situation before are used to it.  At that level, if you're a yard out of position at an energetic moment then it's all over. We've got to focus on ourselves and recognize where our strengths are and have so much belief going into it. After Wednesday's match against Belgium in Leuven, Wales hosts Mexico in a friendly at Cardiff City Stadium before facing the Czech Republic in another World Cup qualifier at the same venue on Tuesday, March 30.

Belarus and Estonia are the other two teams between Wales and a place in the Qatar Football World Cup final. Coleman says as important as their World Cup qualifying campaign is, it is also a vital dress practice for this summer's delayed Euro 2020 finals. Wales will play their first two group games in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, against Switzerland on Saturday, June 12, and Turkey four days later. Their final group game is against Italy in Rome on June 20. To do glowing in this tournament against the likes of Italy, Switzerland, this is a stage up, he said.

We're good enough to handle it, we've just got to make sure we've absorbed the mental side because just the technique and the physical side is not enough. Those top international teams, if you're not absorbed in on every second of that game you'll get picked off and it's happened to us before. If we're right on it expecting rather than countering then we've got a good chance.
