Coleman: Wales ready for "play-acting"

Chris Coleman has said that Wales are prepared to face Israel's "play-acting" in their Euro 2016 qualifier tomorrow evening.

Wales are unbeaten in their qualifying campaign so far, but they face the Group B leaders at the Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa in their fifth match.

The manager said at his pre-match press conference: "Most of our players playing at the top level are used to that pressure, used to playing good players, international players, week in, week out.

"What we have to put up with is a bit of play-acting, simulation. Israel have got to do what they've got to do to get a result.

"They're top, we're second and it's a much better pressure to have going into top-of-the-table clashes than when you're at the bottom. We welcome this type of pressure. It's what we work for."

Israel have won all three of their qualifiers so far.
