Following Gareth Bale as captain of your country is a hard act to pull off, however early signs are that Aaron Ramsey is doing the job his way. To be lucky is a great asset to have and Wales will admit to some luck in getting a point against Croatia, but you do often make your own luck.
Wales could have settled for a plucky 1-0 defeat, they could have expected Croatia to get a second goal and end the game as a contest, but they kept driving and Nathan Broadhead was in the right place at the right time.
Never give up. That comes from the manager, the players, but also the captain. Ramsey's delight at the late equaliser along with the rest of the squad says lots about their group mentality.
Ramsey said he would be a different captain to Bale, he's quieter and gently spoken, but Wales fans will surely be delighted to hear him say that he feels it is right that he is now the Wales captain, that it's his time to take a new group forward.
The Nice midfielder is making it very clear that it's a fresh start for Wales after their disappointing World Cup and that he is not in any shadow of Bale.
