Wales in an Oasis of calm ahead of crucial ties

BEN Davies has revealed how a relaxing night out watching Liam Gallagher in concert can help Wales realise their Euro 2020 finals dream.

While the England camp dealt with the fall-out of the altercation between Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez, several members of the Wales squad were singing from the same hymn sheet on Monday night.

Tottenham defender Davies joined Joe Allen, Neil Taylor and others as former Oasis frontman Gallagher kicked off his UK tour in Cardiff.

“We had the evening off and eight or nine of us got to go there,” Davies said.

“It was nice, the boys had a good time. I loved it.

“It was good as I think as a group we have to be pretty calm this week. Emotions can’t get in the way.

“It’s about knowing what we are going to do and trusting the process of how we are going to play.”

The pressure is on Wales to win in Azerbaijan on Saturday and at home to Hungary next Tuesday to keep alive hopes of automatic Euro 2020 qualification.

But there has been a relaxed air around Ryan Giggs’ squad this week, with key men Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey available for the tasks ahead.

Real Madrid forward Bale has played a full part in training after a month out with a calf injury, while Juventus playmaker Ramsey is set to feature for the first time in Euro 2020 qualifying.

“I think sometimes these things happen in football,” Davies said, referring to the Sterling-Gomez altercation.

“For us, we have a good team spirit here. To see him (Bale) train is a big boost for the squad.”
