#1: Both managers have contrasting notes to take from the game
Luis Enrique and Ryan Giggs have taken over their respective national teams quite recently but the difference in the impact created by both the managers is quite visible. Giggs surely has been unlucky with a seemingly weaker roster at his disposal.

His vision to provide opportunities to the likes of Ampadu and Wilson is very promising and indicates that Giggs has a definite plan for the national team going ahead. Bale’s presence could have helped them in certain aspects but the team should arguably be well adept in dealing with the absence of one of their players.
Currently, the Welsh side needs a lot of polishing and unique ideas to proceed further in an upcoming couple of years. Their gameplay was predictable and bland of creativity at times yesterday and this needs to be changed if they were to emulate their success from the Euro 2016.
Giggs still has to work on various aspects, team selection process and different approaches to attack during the match. Enrique surely had a much more talented and experienced lot of players, but his impact has been visible and refreshing after a disappointing World Cup campaign for the Spaniards.
The former Barcelona and AS Roma manager has embroiled his team with exciting ideas on the pitch. He has ensured that they stick to the legacy of growing into the game through large chunks of possession.
However, Enrique hasn’t been afraid of trying out a more direct, viable approach if the initial plan fails to work. Spain’s loss to Russia in the World Cup 2018 was evidence to the fact that lack of a Plan B could be troublesome if the opposition figures out your primary plan in any game.
Enrique achieved immense success at Barcelona and even there, he didn’t refrain from shaking things up and undertaking a different outlook towards the game at times. The promising signs in Spain’s setup need to be converted into major trophies and Enrique might be the ideal manager to do so.
