National Irish national team leader Chris Brunt has publicly expressed UEFA's decision to hold a friendly match between his national team and the Wales team. This game may begin this coming week, immediately after painful losses for both teams in the qualification playoffs before the World Championship.

Pivnichnaya Ireland will collapse to Cardiff after their hopes of a trip to the World Cup remained dashed in Bergamo, where Michael O'Neill's team surrendered to the Italian team.. The Welsh are expected to take on their opponents after a dramatic defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a post-match penalty shootout.

Brant, who has 65 caps for the national team, was broadcast on BBC Sportsound without commenting on the relevance of this match in the players' already busy schedule.

" This is one of the most stupid speeches that I have ever felt - this is simply absurd. The boys turn back to their clubs, where they have a big bet in England - Friday and Monday. All the way to Wales, the stink of the city in Cardiff, which means absolutely nothing. The matches were now scheduled for the fourth and second rounds at this stage of the season? "

In Brant's opinion, the only positive aspect of this battle will be the chance for reservists to prove themselves. As a tactical scout and pitcher for West Bromwich Albion, he expects head coach Michael O'Neill to commit to a large-scale rotation of the squad.

It appears that game time will be withdrawn from players who did not play against Italy, including Kieran Morrison, Dion Charles and Jamie McDonnell.

“All the boys who were on the field last night were physically and psychologically exhausted, although we did not achieve the desired result. It is important for everyone to gather strength and get back into the game. There are a lot of drivers who traveled with the team all over Europe for qualifying hours and quite a bit of playing practice. What a miracle it is to be able to demonstrate to those who have been supporting the main Vikonavians all this time,” adding Brant.
