?Without fear or shackles, Wales can upset Portugal?
 

MARSEILLE, France: Wales have ** reason to fear Portugal in their Euro 2016 semi-final on Wednesday and despite key players missing, coach Chris Coleman said he had complete faith in their replacements to do the job.

His team have been one of the big surprises of the tournament, topping a group including neighbours England, dumping out one of the favourites Belgium in the quarter-finals and progressing to highs **t seen enjoyed by the Welsh side since 1958.

“It’s new territory. You will either be blinded by the lights and crawl back to where you came from, or have belief in yourself and stand up for your identity,” Coleman told reporters at his side’s training camp in Brittany on Sunday.

“You spend too much time thinking about what you don’t want to happen rather than concentrating on what you want to happen.

The message has been ** fear, there’s **thing to be afraid of. We screamed long and hard to be at a major tournament, and as soon as we got here the handcuffs were off. We’re **t restricted.”

Coleman’s biggest selection dilemma will be seeing how to replace influential midfielder Aaron Ramsey and centre back Ben Davies.

Both miss the match in Lyon through suspension, but Coleman was adamant that he had e**ugh strength in depth.

“They are two outstanding players, but it’s **t like we haven’t been without them before,” he said.
