00:00We're going to hurt, let it hurt.
00:02It's a long road.
00:03It is, but there's a bright future.
00:05Definitely.
00:06And I know it's easy to say, but there really, really is.
00:11If I was playing...
00:14Imagine being able to look forward to what's coming up.
00:20It's hard to think about now, even though I'm trying to...
00:23I'll think about that tomorrow morning.
00:26Because, like, literally...
00:29I hurt tonight.
00:31And I'm accepting to let that hurt now.
00:34It's sinking in now as I'm talking.
00:38It'd be a sleepless night.
00:39It'd be difficult to sleep off the back of this one.
00:42But it makes me even more determined.
00:44Tomorrow, the sun will rise.
00:48I think we've got a sense of...
00:50We've seen a number of players clearly in tears.
00:53Can I just have a sense of the huddle at the end of the game?
00:56I could see you in the middle and you seemed passionate and talking to them.
01:01I know you won't tell me exactly what you were talking to the players,
01:03but can you give me an answer?
01:04I can do.
01:05Yeah, it wasn't...
01:08And I don't usually like doing a huddle.
01:10It was, like, sort of forced around me, you know?
01:12It was...
01:12And I felt, you know, when you see players really feeling it
01:19and who are emotional at that present moment,
01:22I felt I had to say something.
01:26And really what it is is, like, look, I know it's not a consolation at this present moment.
01:32This is when I'm talking in a huddle.
01:33I've obviously spoke after that with them as well.
01:39But there's some exciting times ahead for youths.
01:43There's a group of players.
01:45You have the Nations League coming up.
01:49Group A.
01:51You have a Home Nations Euros coming.
01:54I mean, it's not a bad time to be a Welsh footballer.
01:58I feel for them, I'm so...
02:00My heart hurts.
02:01Not, like, my head or...
02:03Like, literally, I feel...
02:06I don't know.
02:08I haven't really felt this towards a group of players
02:12because I've probably never had a group of players for myself.
02:15Do you understand what I mean as a coach?
02:17But actually, it really hurts for them
02:21because to get to back-to-back World Cups...
02:26It was really our target.
02:28And to know you've not got there
02:30and when you see players really disappointed...
02:35Yeah, it hurts you more.
02:37It hurts you more.
02:38But like I said...
02:41And I said to them in the huddle, like...
02:44This is going to keep getting better.
02:46This is going to keep improving.
02:48As a team, I believe this team will keep improving.
02:53And I believe players coming into it
02:55are going to enhance the Welsh team as well.
02:57So, I only see a bright future for Wales.
02:59It's going to be quite easy for them.
02:59And I'm not going to get an eye on the way...
02:59But I'm just going to help them...
02:59All right, so...
03:00Make sure to keep the end of the Welsh...
03:00I like the end of the Welsh away...
