“We can never forget our believes, our identity and our vision”, he said. “So we will keep working together with this generation because it’s a pleasure to work together and we will try to win things together”.

“We fought as hard as anyone. We covered every blade of glass and definitely deserved the win”.
“We lost against Italy, but I think we played three good matches against Ireland, against Sweden and against Hungary”.
One Direction star Niall Horan tweeted: “Delighted for Wales”.
With his parents watching, Bale had an influence on proceedings but such a spectacular victory owed more to a huge collective effort.
“If they have to take one for the team then so be it and Aaron has done that, so has Ben Davies”.
After topping their group ahead of traditional European giants and neighbours England, The Dragons have now roared into the semi-final of the Euro 2016, beating Belgium 3-1 last night (July 1).
Hal Robson-Kanu, wow, what a performance.
A presenter for Belgian channel Sporza even said a player told her before the tournament that if they won Euro 2016 it would be “despite Wilmots”.
Goals from Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes in the second half would secure a famous win for the Welsh, overcoming a Belgian side who are ranked second in the world by Federation Internationale de Football Association.
Wales captain Ashley Williams showed his timeless leadership qualities as he sent home a significant equaliser that ultimately brought Wales back into the quarter-final. This cost them dearly as Robson Kamnu score in the 55th minute.
His team “defended like soldiers” and played smartly, taking the game to Belgium after initially looking flustered.
On his superb goal, Robson-Kanu – who is without a club after being released by Championship side Reading – added: “I presume they thought I would lay it off – and I have Cruyffed and put it in the net”. “We are into the semi-finals!!!!!”
It was from Bale’s right flank that Wales got their killer third goal but it was Chris Gunter’s cross that was headed in by Vokes to spark wild celebrations from the fans at that end.
Wales will take on Portugal in the semi, knowing that they’re potentially only 90 minutes away from a final in Paris that few would have predicted.
“We knew we had it in us, we obviously had a game plan”. It’s not long before the next game. Everbody fails, I’ve had more failures than I’ve had success but I’m not afraid to fail.

“It’s Portugal versus Wales, nothing more”, said the 26-year-old, who again paid tribute to the Welsh fans in the Stade Pierre Mauroy and back home.
