Gareth Bale says it is better Wales make their mistakes now and not at the World Cup after suffering more stoppage-time heartbreak against Holland.
Memphis Depay secured an eventful 3-2 Nations League victory for Holland in the third minute of stoppage time in Rotterdam, just seconds after Bale had equalised from the penalty spot.
Wales are bottom of their A4 group with one point having lost three of their four games. Robert Page’s side have conceded decisive late goals in all three defeats, with their only point coming in a 1-1 home draw against Belgium. “It’s hard to take, but I’d rather this happen now and we address it than it happen at the World Cup,” Bale told S4C after the game. “We have to use these Nations League games to improve and get better.
Of course we all know what happened but how can we stop that happening again? “We need to address that and make sure it doesn’t happen in the World Cup.
