Wales’ David Brooks has accepted that doubts have been raised following their humiliating defeat against Armenia in the Euro 2024 qualifying match. Despite being 71 places above Armenia in the world ranking, Wales suffered a 4-2 defeat, which could negatively impact their chances of automatic qualification. Brooks acknowledged that the Welsh team must now work harder to prove themselves in the upcoming match against group leaders, Turkey. If they win, they may still have a chance to go back to the top of Pool D.
The Welsh side has been consistently battling in their recent qualifiers. Their qualification in the semifinals of the 2016 Euro championships is still celebrated among fans. However, now the team is experiencing a dip in form after their loss against Armenia.
Brooks noted the growing skepticism among fans and commentators, acknowledging that doubts have arisen about the team. Winning the next match against Turkey is crucial for Wales, as it will determine whether they stay in contention for qualification. If they lose, it could be a setback, but the Welsh side still has games to play in the upcoming rounds.
Wales will now face Turkey on Monday in a match that will test their resilience and vibrancy. Despite the mounting challenges, the team must use this performance to spur them on to greater heights. With the right attitude and resilience, the players can move past this defeat and come back stronger. Nevertheless, Wales will need to step up their game if they are to please the fans and qualify for the Euro 2024 championships.
