The reason there was 50,000 v Spain, was many turned up for their first ever visit to watch Wales football in there, one offs, plus it was Spain one of the biggest names in the world.

How many tickets are left? Online shows less than 10 available.

That includes tickets being sold in the away end to Welsh fans, as it seems Denmark are only bringing a few hundred.

In search of Jason Koumas, the Welsh football enigma who'd rather be left alone


By Tom Coleman


Wednesday 14th November 2018


Jason Koumas has always been an enigma. We set about trying to find and speak with him


Genius, enigma, oddball. Jason Koumas is a man remembered in strangely different ways.

For many who watched him play for Wales, Cardiff City and the other clubs he represented between 1997 and 2015, Koumas is arguably the most naturally gifted footballer they have ever seen.

For others, he was simply a monstrous waste of talent.

Despite 10 goals in 34 caps for Wales and nearly 100 Premier League appearances, some believe he should have enjoyed a career comparable to that of old friend and academy team-mate Steven Gerrard, who bid an emotional farewell to Liverpool with a Champions League medal on the shelf in 2015.

In contrast, Koumas' time as a professional football player ended at Tranmere Rovers as they slipped out of the Football League for the first time in 94 years.

Few fans of the clubs he played for will have anything other than good things to say about him. Yet his career throws up more than its fair share of unanswered questions, particularly because he completely disappeared from the public eye several years ago.







So what's happened to him? What exactly does he do now?






We set about trying to find out...





The search begins

It soon becomes clear I'm not the only one looking for answers on Koumas' career.

"Let us know when you find him," a source at West Bromwich Albion tells me. It turns out they too are keen to track down one of their most beloved cult heroes, a player that was named by The Birmingham Mail as one of the Baggies' 20 best payers of the Noughties.

The newspaper have also had little luck in tracking him down since he left the game.

One of their journalists tells me: "Jason is impossible to get hold of.

"I've tried for years. And now, unfortunately, decided to give up.

"He won't do interviews."

The only real lead I have is an old address for an apartment block in Cardiff where Koumas used to live.

A rather confused concierge tells me they haven't had a footballer live in the building since Gary Medel, a former Cardiff City player from Chile, spent a solitary season at the club in 2014. He does claim to recognise Koumas by name, but it's clear he hasn't exactly left a lasting impression.






The fan view

The next stop is to check in with Welsh football writer and blogger Leon Barton, who knows exactly what it's like to try and put the playmaker's career into words.

Barton's cousin actually played with Koumas, allowing him to pen a very well received feature for fansite Podcast Peldroed on what made the midfielder tick.

"The last thing I heard was he'd gone into the coaching set-up there [at Tranmere] and that really surprised me to be honest, because he'd previously just not played football for about two years. He hadn't said he was quitting or anything he just didn't play and that points to someone who's not really in love with the game or particularly bothered by the game.

"He just happened to be very good at it and sort of took his talent for granted. It really surprised me to hear he was going to stay in the game in a professional capacity."

A source at Tranmere Rovers refutes the suggestion Koumas continued to be involved at the club, categorically denying he ever held any kind of coaching role, but Barton's scepticism around his passion for the game is an accusation that crops up time and time again.

An insider in the Wales camp under John Toshack paints a very similar picture.

"He was very much a different character to a lot of the boys we had," he explains.

"He was, in many ways, very much an outsider and I also remember him saying he looked upon football as a job rather than a love or a calling.

"Most of the guys who play football, whatever level they play at, they just absolutely love the game. They can't imagine doing anything else but I do remember with Jason it was a job of work.

"I never remember him being a really demonstrative sort of player. He wasn't someone who wore his heart on his sleeve by any means. He just got on with doing his job and he was probably, and this might be a bit cruel, the sort of player you'd expect far more from than what he actually delivered.

"When training was done that was it, he went back to his room and I remember he was also a very big fan of horseracing. He was interested in everything to do with it and I think that was probably his passion in life. I don't think football was necessarily a passion to him."

But even if he didn't enjoy football, there's little question fans enjoyed him.





Jason Koumas' career

Ben James of Cardiff City fanzine View from the Ninian remembers: "He was a YouTube footballer before YouTube existed. Everything he did belonged on a highlights reel.

"His first goal, buried into the bottom corner against Leeds, through to his free kick in the Cup a few days later and then everything that followed. He carried the ball in a unique way and I always remember thinking if he got the ball, he was going to do something.

"He was just different class. He just raised expectation when he got the ball."

What strikes me as interesting is that Ben, like many other fans, is well aware of Koumas' alleged shortcomings.







So why is he still so loved?

The answer is simple.

"It might sound like grandeur but why does everyone love Messi?" he explains. "Because he makes the ridiculous look easy. And that's what Koumas did - albeit, at a lower level. A free kick anywhere around the box and if he's stood over it, you can be confident it's going in.

"He could beat a man with ease, he could score from anywhere, spray passes 60 yards and land it on the foot of the recipient. Football is about the spectacular moments and seemingly everything he did was just that. He was one of a kind."

The fact Koumas was voted into Cardiff City's team of the century last year, which you can see here, says it all.






The captain's view

Former Cardiff captain Darren Purse was also dazzled by the brilliance of Koumas, even if he has no idea what became of his former team-mate.

"Technically he was one of the most gifted players I've ever played with," he explains. "He was one of those players where it would be 0-0 away from home and he'd come up with an 89th minute winner that nobody else in the side, or in the league, would be able to do.

"Being a defender, he'd turn you inside out at times. He was unplayable at times in training. He'd turn it on and be that sort of player that could put you on your bum and then put one in the top corner."

Darren Purse played with Jason at both Cardiff City and West Brom
However, Purse believes Koumas' ability to conjure up something special managed to mask the big shortcomings that prevented him from reaching the level his talent deserved.

"I just respected him for the player he was and accepted the bad side of it because you knew how good it could be when he really turned it on," he adds.

"Jason was one of those frustrating players because with the ability he had he should've been playing at the highest level for a long period of time.

"But he never quite had that work ethic or mentality to make the best of what he had.

"Looking at myself, I used to love training every day. Koumy would see it as a bit of a chore, thinking 'do I really have to be here?' and that was part of his make-up.

Koumas remains a massively popular figure at West Brom as well as Cardiff

Not only did Koumas seemingly struggle with keeping a focus in training, but Purse also believed he actually struggled with the baggage that came with being a professional footballer, revealing he would often withdraw himself from the limelight whenever possible.

"He didn't like mingling so when there were fans and things to do, he wasn't the sort of name you'd pick out to do it, because his heart wasn't really in it. That was him though.

"There are some people that don't like being in the public eye and don't enjoy being a footballer, but they've got that god-given talent that every player and every manager, every club wants in their side. I don't think he enjoyed the life of being a player but he was immensely talented at what he did.

"I don't think he enjoyed the fame side of football, I don't think he actually enjoyed playing it. Sometimes, when it becomes your job and you've been doing it since you were six, it can become a bit of a chore."

Interestingly, Purse claims that Koumas' perceived introverted personality meant that despite playing alongside him at two separate clubs, he never really got to know him.

"I don't really have any stories about Jason. He was a quiet guy. He didn't really socialise with players outside of football. He just kept himself to himself and he just enjoyed his own company I think."




The respect of a Wales team-mate

Former team-mate David Cotterill insists he saw nothing to suggest Koumas had a bad attitude in training
"If someone ever says a footballer's workrate or attitude isn't right, it just spreads like wildfire and then before you know it people judge you before they even know you. Everyone's quick to judge."

When Koumas signed for Wigan Athletic in 2007, a young David Cotterill was looking to make his own way in the game.

Cotterill, who recently announced his retirement after suffering depression, doesn't seem to recognise the Jason Koumas painted out by Purse, adding that questions over his mentality were often over-exaggerated.

He explains: "Jason never showed a bad attitude in training when I was with him.

"He always tried to help me, he was always very good with me. When he came to Wigan I was still a young lad and he was the main guy because of the money we spent on him and he was always great with me."

However, Cotterill also noticed the shy and reserved Koumas described by others.

"When we used to go away with Wales he liked a beer and we'd also go out and party after one of the games, but other than that there weren't really any stories.

"He'd keep himself to himself."






That phrase again.

The impression I get from what I've heard so far is Koumas actually had very few friends in football, with Cotterill another former colleague who hasn't kept in touch.

"I think he had his own mates outside of football really. He didn't really go out with team-mates very often and preferred hanging out with his friends," he says.

Not having ties within the game has undoubtedly helped Koumas stay off the radar, although Cotterill rightly reminds me Koumas doesn't have to justify his absence from the media spotlight to anyone.

"Just because you're a footballer doesn't mean you have to stay in the public eye."






The Instagram page

Perhaps what makes Koumas' ability to avoid the spotlight all the more impressive is the fact that even in the age of social media, he manages to give very little away.

A Twitter profile under this name hasn't been updated since 2011, while a Facebook page bearing his name lists his workplace as 'sex, sex and more sex'. It seems unlikely.

His Instagram page is predictably placed on a private setting, but a friend request sent in hope is surprisingly accepted. A response to a message asking for a chat is, however, unsurprisingly ignored.

A trawl through Koumas' Instagram page sees the same faces cropping up time and time again. As Cotterill suggested, it's obvious Jason has a strong, tightly-knit group of friends, but none of them appear to have much of a connection to football.

I send them all a message. No reply.

Despite those frustrations, Jason's Instagram shows he's still obsessed with the game, particularly his beloved Liverpool.

Not only is there a tribute post to his old pal Gerrard, there's also a post from 2015, shortly after Koumas announced his retirement, showing tickets for the Reds' trip to Old Trafford along with a comment voicing his frustration at Brendan Rodgers.

"F***ing Rodgers is doing my head in, he needs to go," he writes. Perhaps a little harsh on the former Swansea boss, but hardly indicative of someone with the passive interest in the game that some have portrayed.

I'm no closer to finding him, but at least now I have small snapshot into what he's up to.

Koumas was immensely popular among Wales fans







The agent

"If I'm being honest, I'd prefer all my players to be like Jason Koumas, to go and do their talking on the pitch rather than in the papers. I don't like to see players thinking they have to be in the press."

After a bit of digging, I manage to find a number for Jason's former agent, who's worked with him for around 20 years.

He confirms Koumas is still living in the Merseyside area and agrees with many of the assessments I've heard about his career, even admitting himself that "Jason perhaps struggled with the limelight". He categorically rejects any assertion Koumas didn't enjoy football though, believing his unwillingness to open up meant he was often misunderstood by critics.

"I think where a lot of people don't get Jason is how quiet he actually is," he explains.

"He's a really nice lad but a private lad too, and I think people mistake that for arrogance.

"He's very close to his family, he comes from a very closely-knit family, especially his brother and also his uncle, who essentially brought him up.

"So once training had finished or a game had finished, he couldn't wait to get back home and be with them and I think that perhaps rubbed people up the wrong way."

"But as a player some of the stuff he could do was magical, he just didn't like the circus that went round it."

It turns out he's still in touch with the man himself and gets Liverpool match tickets for him and his friends most weeks.

He reads out a number.

After weeks of digging and searching, I finally have a direct line to Jason Koumas.

The phone call

I dial the number and nervously wait. It's ringing.

First comes a pause, the the voice. Sure enough I'm speaking to the man himself.

"I'm just at a football tournament mate, can I call you back?" he says.

Football tournament? It turns out he's now spending a lot of his time coaching his two sons, both of whom are promising footballers.

One is even on the books of the Liverpool academy after signing on at the age of 11.

"They love football and Jason loves football", his agent tells me.

It sounds like a good arrangement for Koumas. Bestow all he knows on to his two sons and catch a Liverpool game at the weekend, all while staying out of the glare of the public eye.







I wait for Koumas to return my call that day.

He doesn't.

I give him another text just a few days later, he tells me that he's "down in London with the missus for a few days" and promises to drop me a line the following weekend.

He doesn't.

I go back to his former agent in the hope he can maybe give him a nudge, although he tells me I'd have to "catch him in the right mood" if he's ever going to talk to me properly.

He still sounds reasonably positive about a chat happening, even going so far as float the idea of a face-to-face meeting up at his Merseyside office.

Then, a couple of weeks and a few ignored texts and voicemail messages later, Koumas finally gets back to me.

It's not good news - for me anyway.

"Hi mate, sorry I'm away at the minute. I'm just too busy at the moment to do anything with being away so much with my lads etc.

"I have too much on, plus I like to keep my private life private if that's okay.

It sounds like a polite 'p*** off', which is fair enough really, although he doesn't exactly close the book on an interview completely.

"Get in touch after Christmas if you still want something doing and we'll sort," he says.

It's bitterly disappointing, but from what I've learned about Koumas, not at all surprising.

He's clearly a man who does things on his terms.

Perhaps that was why he did apparently find it so hard to cope with the limelight. After all, footballers are granted little to no control over what's being written about them, and many of the commitments off the pitch are not exactly voluntary.

But even if he did have trouble with it all, I don't really get the feeling he's left pondering on all the 'what ifs' that so many outsiders seem to so desperately want to attach to his career.

"Whatever people wrote about him was often water off a duck's back," his former agent adds. "I don't think he put pressure on himself or beat himself up.

"If he was slaughtered for having a bad game, or praised for a good game, he would treat both the same."

Perhaps that's just it. Maybe, it all boils down to that one point. Maybe, even now at the age of 39, beneath the quiet and reserved exterior, Jason Koumas simply doesn't care what we think.

Kasper Schmeichel: Denmark's Leicester goalkeeper's mixed emotions over Cardiff return
SectionFootball


Wednesday 14th November 2018




Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has mixed emotions about returning to Cardiff City Stadium to face Wales.

Schmeichel was in the Leicester City side who played at Cardiff City on an emotional day on 3 November.

It was Leicester's first game following the death of their owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a helicopter crash.

"It's probably not really the place that I personally wanted to be after the last time," Schmeichel said.

"But we've got good memories. It was a good tribute that we had and a really good result.

"It's a kind of different feeling, but still looking forward to it."


The 32-year-old has previously said he will never be able to rid himself of the memory of the helicopter crash that killed Leicester's owner and four others.

He was part of a delegation from the club who travelled to Thailand to attend Srivaddhanaprabha's funeral.


Schmeichel returns to the Cardiff City's home for Friday's Nations League match, which he describes as "must-win game" for Denmark.

Victory for Wales would guarantee them a first place finish in Group B4 while a draw would give Denmark the chance to top the group when they face Republic of Ireland three days later.

"It's a must-win game, but it's no different to any other game for us," Schmeichel said.

"We've got to go and win, simple."


Denmark won 2-0 thanks to two goals from Christian Eriksen when the countries met in Aarhus in September.

But Schmeichel said that result will have no bearing on Friday's game.

"That's gone - it's all about now," he added.

"We can't use that for anything. Wales are obviously going to be highly motivated to go and win and so are we."

Wales handed huge Gareth Bale boost as Ryan Giggs delivers full injury update ahead of Denmark Nations League clash


By Tom Coleman


Thursday 15th November 2018

Gareth Bale has been declared fit for Wales' crunch Nations League clash with Denmark at Cardiff City Stadium.

The 29-year-old had been struggling with an ankle problem following Real Madrid's 4-2 La Liga defeat to Celta Vigo on Sunday night.

It comes after he missed Wales' last two fixtures against Republic of Ireland and Spain in October.

But on Thursday morning, Bale trained with the rest of the Wales players in a session at the home of the Bluebirds.

And Ryan Giggs revealed that Wales' talisman is fit to start against the Danes.

"He's good. He arrived a little bit later than the rest of the group after playing on Sunday evening. But he's fine he's looked good this week and he's ready," said the Wales manager.

"He had a little bit of a different programme earlier in the week but the last couple of days he's been good."

Giggs won't be able to call upon the services of Neil Taylor or Chris Mepham who have both withdrawn from the squad due to injury this week.

But Giggs has revealed that George Thomas could be in contention to feature in the friendly with Albania next Tuesday after suffering an ankle injury last weekend.

"It's not ideal, Meps having to leave," added Giggs.

"George Thomas is not in the squad, he went over on his ankle at the weekend but that's coming along nicely.

"He's got a 50:50 chance for Albania, but everyone else is fine."

Wales will top Group 4 of League B with victory over Age Hareide's men in South Wales on Friday night.

And Giggs admits the incentives for finishing at the top of the group are hugely significant.

"There's lots of incentives to top the group," said the 44-year-old.


"First of all, to actually win a competitive group would be great and then you get a second bite of the cherry with regards to the Euros if you don't qualify automatically.

"It has an affect on the seedings for the Euro draw aswell.

"We started off wanting to win, it's a new tournament, we wanted to win the first Nations League group and it's in our hands.

"It's not going to be easy because we're up against a top class side who have proved over a period of time that they're tough to beat."

Nations League and Euro 2020 qualification explained: What happens if Wales win, lose or draw against Denmark tonight





Nations League Explainer



Wales face Denmark at Cardiff City Stadium in the fourth and final group stage match of their inaugural Nations League campaign.

Ryan Giggs' side go into the match at the top of Group 4 in League B.




Here's everything you need to know about the Nations League game, and what it all means for Euro 2020 and everything else.

Results so far

Wales 4-1 Republic of Ireland

Denmark 2-0 Wales

Republic of Ireland 0-0 Denmark

Republic of Ireland 0-1 Wales

How the groups stands

1 Wales - Pld: 3; Pts: 6; GD: +2

2 Denmark - Pld: 2; Pts: 4; GD: +2

3 Republic of Ireland - Pld: 3; Pts: 1; GD: -4





Remaining fixtures

Wales v Denmark, Cardiff City Stadium - 7:45pm, November 16.

Denmark v Republic of Ireland, Ceres Park - 7:45pm, November 19.

How does the group work?

Given that there are only three teams in Wales' group - as is the case with each of the four pots in Leagues A and B - each position has differing rewards.

The winner of the group will gain promotion into League A for the next Nations League in 2020 after the Euros.

But crucially, the country to finish in first place will get the chance to secure a place at Euro 2020 via the play-offs (if they don't qualify through the regular format).

Whoever finishes second in the table will remain in League B next time around.

And as for the side that finishes third, they will be relegated into League C for the next edition of the Nations League.



So what do Wales need to finish top of Group 4?

A win. Simple as that...

If Wales beat the Danes in Cardiff, they will have an unassailable tally of nine points.

But if they fail to win, their destiny will no longer be in their own hands.

They could still top the group with a draw against Denmark, although Wales would have to hope the Danes don't win in their final game against Ireland in Aarhus next week.

Age Hareide's side will finish top if they beat Wales at Cardiff City Stadium.

Whatever happens, Wales cannot be relegated as they have five more points than Ireland who have just one game remaining.

Talk us through the Euro 2020 qualification bit again

Ok, the actual main qualification process for Euro 2020 has thankfully been simplified, with the top two teams in each of the 10 groups qualifying automatically. The group draw takes place in December, after the conclusion of this year's Nations League.

The seedings for qualification will be determined by how teams performed in the Nations League and the fixtures will played between March and November 2019.

Those qualifiers will account for 20 of the 24 competing teams at the tournament in the normal way. The final four teams to make it through will come from the Nations League play-offs, with one from League A, one from League B, one from League C and one from League D.

In theory, the winners of each of the four groups within each League will play in a single leg play-off semi final, with the two winners facing off in a final for a place at Euro 2020.

The better ranked teams - based on their performance in the Nations League - will host the semi-finals, while the host of the final will be decided by a draw.

However, inevitably some teams will already have qualified through the normal qualifiers. In that case, their place will go to the next highest-ranked team from their Nations League tier (not necessarily the second placed team in their group).

So, if Wales fail to qualify for Euro 2020 through the normal route, there's no doubt the Nations League gives them a real chance of a second bite of the cherry if they perform well.

For example, if they finish third in their Euro 2020 qualifying group (as they did in the World Cup qualifiers) but top their Nations League group they will still have a shot in the play-offs.

The draw for these play-offs will take place in November next year following the completion of the Euro 2020 group stage matches when we'll know who has already qualified through the usual format.

So what about the Euro qualifiers?

The draw for the Euro 2020 qualifiers takes place in Dublin on December 2.

Teams will be seeded based on the overall Nations League rankings.

There will be a total of six pots, with pot 1 featuring the top ranked sides while pot 6 will include the lowest ranked teams.

Wales' victory over Ireland in last month Dublin ensured they will be in pot 2.

The 55 teams will be split into 10 groups of five or six, with the top two from each group qualifying for Euro 2020.

When will the Euro qualifiers take place?

Each team will play twice (unless in a group of five) during each of the following five international breaks in 2019:

March 21-26
June 7-11
September 5-10
October 10-15
November 14-19




So when will the Euro 2020 tournament draw take place?

The draw for the tournament itself will happen on December 1, 2019 while an additional draw will be made in April 2020 if required after the final Nations League play-offs in March 2020.

RYAN GIGGS:

“There's lots of incentives to top the group. First of all to actually win a really competitive group would be great, and then you get a second bite of the cherry with regards to qualifying for the Euros if you don't qualify automatically – and it has an effect on the seedings come the Euro draw as well. We started off wanting to win, it's a new tournament, we wanted to win the first one, the first Nations League, and it's in our hands now.

"It's not going to be easy because we're up against a top-class side, a very good manager, players who have been a together a long time and who have proved over a period of time that they're tough to beat and they're a very good team.”

Well happy we didn't sign Lawrence, what an absolute shower. Unlucky with Injuries tonight. Not sure team selection was right from the start mind.
