Belgium v Wales: Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs backing nation to qualify for major finals Welsh confidence has grown under Coleman, who survived calls for his head last year, on the back of a run of just one defeat in eight games: they have not been beaten at all since losing to Holland in June. They face a Belgium team without the injured Vincent Kompany and with Bale, Ramsey and Allen all expected to be fit to start the game. And despite overcoming injuries to that trio by starting the qualifying campaign with two wins and a draw, Giggs admits that the likes of Bale must now shoulder the burden he carried with Wales by accepting the role of talisman. "You have got top players playing in the team," Giggs said. You mention Bale, Ramsey and Allen, but these players have missed out on a couple of the qualifiers so far, so it shows that there is a good squad with a good team spirit. You can see there is a good mentality around the players at the moment. You can't just rely on individuals as you have to play as a team. If you pick up injuries or suspensions, you have to deal with that and I think that Wales have done that. But the top players like Ramsey and Bale have got the quality to turn a game in our favour. If you have that expectancy, you just have to handle it the best you can. It shouldn't be pressure or in your thoughts - you just have to think about going on the pitch and performing the best you can. But with major players playing for big teams in the Champions League, whether it is Bale, Ramsey or Allen, fans and team-mates expect you to produce that little bit of magic. That's all part and parcel of being a footballer, you have to expect that and handle that the best you can. Wales may top Group B ahead of their clash with the Belgians, but previous Welsh teams have fallen short when in even stronger positions to qualify. The Welsh tale of woe generally recurs every decade or so, with 1977, 1985, 1993 and 2003 all becoming unhappy chapters due to a failure to win when it matters against the likes of Scotland (twice), Romania and Russia. But while Giggs warns against over-optimism, he admits that a new feel-good factor in Welsh football could carry Coleman's team to France. "Wales are obviously in a strong position after a good start, but Belgium will be the big test," Giggs said. If they can come through this with a positive result, it will give the team great belief and can only be good for their confidence going forward. It will be a real test, but I don't think anybody should get carried away with the good start. There are still a lot of qualifiers after this so nothing will be decided on this game no matter what the result is. But there is real good feeling around the team at the moment. I was down in Cardiff before the Bosnia game last month and there is a great feeling in Wales at the moment. We haven't had a start like this for a long, long time and if we keep going, the fans will get excited and fill the stadiums to cheer on the players and that will only help us. We have to manage the expectation, but Chris and his staff will be able to do that, no problem.
