Giggs hails “magnificent” Chelsea star after Wales win

Ryan Giggs spoke highly of Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu after Wales thrashed the Republic of Ireland 4-1 on Thursday. “Ethan is a talent, not only as a player but as a person. He is so measured and mature and takes it all in his stride. “He’ll be a magnificent player. I am really pleased for him.” “Every time he plays, he makes a difference, whether it’s for Wales or Real Madrid,” Giggs said. “It gives everyone a lift, but he’s a great example of the level you have to get to. “It’s a difficult match with a very good team on Sunday. We don’t know what their preparation has been like, but we expect a tough game, their best 11, and they are probably favourites in the group. “We might have to play even better to get that result. I said to the players the bad news is you have to keep to that standard. They have to keep getting better, keep improving.” The 17-year-old Ethan Ampadu started in central midfield and was named by many outlets as the man of the match.
