00:00First question, if I can ask you about your thoughts on the draw.
00:04Yeah, good draw. Different teams. Obviously, two Scandinavian teams in it as well.
00:08So that's, you know, we definitely know a lot of Scandinavian players due to the players playing in the UK.
00:17But Portugal as well as the reigning champions, a completely different threat to what those two teams would be.
00:23This is me trying to get my head around it right now.
00:26But yeah, looking forward to it. Listen, it's Group A.
00:30Whatever group you're going to be in, you're going to be, the teams are going to be loaded.
00:34And that's what we need. And that's what we want to be against all the time.
00:41And I think there's been talk about possibly moving games to the Principality to get Wales used to being there
00:45for their home Euros.
00:47Portugal, Ronaldo, would that be a good one to do, do you think?
00:51Look, whatever we choose to do, it's, the fans will make the choice for that.
00:57They want us to stay in Cardiff. We stay in Cardiff. They want us to go to Millennium.
01:01We'll go to the Millennium. Our fans choose. They're the ones in charge.
01:05And we're happy with that. Whatever they choose is the right decision.
01:08And how are things shaping up for the Bosnia game?
01:11Fitness-wise, are you happy with the shape of your squad for that one?
01:14Well, we're still a long way off. There'll be movement. Players coming back who are out at the moment.
01:22We like to think we'll be available during that time and there might be one or two missing out.
01:26We're in such a delicate time because there's games week in, week out.
01:31On occasions, two games in a week. So, yeah, like everyone, when you get to this stage, you'll find out
01:39on a Sunday, before you play Thursday, what your squad's going to be.
01:42Ben Davies, I mean, what are you hearing about that injury and whether, I mean, if you make it to
01:48the World Cup, is he going to be part of your squad?
01:51Do you think there's a chance that he could be fit?
01:54We've got playoffs.
01:55But if you were to make it through?
01:57No, I don't do buts. We've got the playoffs first.
02:01And if you think after that, we speak after.
02:02Is he a certainty to miss those matches?
02:06There's no way he's going to be involved.
02:07Yeah, no way, unfortunately.
02:09So, big draw ahead. The Nations League draw, then. Are you pleased with the teams you've been?
02:14Yes, really good. It is. Look, it's what you want to be. It's where we want to be.
02:20And now what's important for us is, can we stay in it? Can we live in this environment?
02:26We've been in and out. So, A, B, because we want to start finishing first in groups.
02:33Now we've been playoffs. So, I think it's comfortable to say now we're regularly being second in the group, which
02:41is not a problem.
02:43And I mean, I'm not taking that for granted, of course, a big achievement.
02:47But we want to aim for one, because when you go straight there, we're not dealing with playoffs anymore.
02:51How do we get to that?
02:53Being in a group A, being in a Nations League, will give us that opportunity of being able, hopefully, to
02:58be here in that top spot.
