Welsh boss Chris Coleman glad to see back of ... - BBC World News

Wales manager Chris Coleman says he will ?not lose sleep? over the fact there is unlikely to be a united Great Britain football team at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Coleman saw four current Welsh internationals involved at the London 2012 Olympic football tournament Despite opposition from the Football Association of Wales, five Welsh players ? Aaron Ramsey , Craig Bellamy , Ryan Giggs , Joe Allen and Neil Taylor ? were part of the Great Britain Olympic team at the London 2012 Games. ?Where my country?s concerned I think it?s better off for us in the long run that everything resumes to the way it was and there isn?t going to be any extra games to play,? said Coleman. Although, understandably, Coleman says his priority is Wales, he said the players and the national team could take some positives from the Olympic experience. ?It?s worked out well for us,? he said. ?Playing pre-season friendlies is one thing, when you?re playing tournament football it?s more serious. ?Tournament football ? training everyday [and] building up to serious games ? is a completely different level to training two or three times a week and playing an hour in a friendly game. ?It?s a shame they got knocked out in the quarter-final but it?s given them a little rest. They enjoyed the experience [and] are in a good frame of mind.?
