you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. wales manager rob page wants to take the team to the 2026 world cup despite missing out on this summer's euros. chelsea look to finish the job, they take a 3—0 lead into tonight's champions league quarter—final against ajax. paris calling, gb swimmer matt richards tells us about his quest for individual gold at this summer's olympics.
1:35 pm
the wales manager rob page says he wants to stay in the job and try to guide his young squad to the next world cup, despite narrowly missing out on this summer's european championship. they lost to poland in the penalty shoot—out in cardiff last night, but page is proud of what his side has achieved. absolutely, we are a team in transition, and while we are in the transition, and while we are in the transition, we were one penalty get away from qualifying. so we have games injune, we have nations league in autumn, then the start of a world cup qualifying campaign, so thatis a world cup qualifying campaign, so that is my full focus, and building what we have already started and the transition which we are in at this moment in time. former wales forward rob earnshaw says they need to analyse where it when wrong in this current campaign, but says there are positives to take from it. it isa it is a campaign full of ups and downs, full of controversy really,
1:36 pm
some bad results, some great results, so it is time to reflect now and what has happened and what goes on going forward. last summer, i wasn't optimistic at all, but i tell you what, since then, i am optimistic. watching the talent, it showed that the level that they can compete at. no aaron ramsey, no gareth bale, nojoe allen, none of that, so it is full of talent, it is a young group, and it is a bit of an inexperienced group. so i like where they are right now. when you don't get the right result and you don't go to a major tournament, you do have to ask the questions, but i tell you what, i think rob page should stay. i think he has done very, very well in the last eight months or so. i think he has improved the squad, but i will say this, robert page has to improve now, because we did not make it to a major tournament, and that also
1:37 pm
backs up going to the world cup. the world cup was very disappointing. so there has to be an improvement from there has to be an improvement from the coach himself, but also how do we take them over the line? because we take them over the line? because we were one penalty kick away from another major tournament. so questions and reviews will be done anyway, but i will say this, i do like where the team are right now. they have got talent, they are capable of much more. england manager gareth southgate has had his last chance to see his players in action, before he names his squad for the european championship. a reshuffled side earned a late draw against belgium last night. they were behind twice but scored through an ivan toney penalty on his first start for england and a 95th—minute equaliser from jude bellingham. southgate names his initial squad on the 21st of may, two days after the end of the premier league season, then come two friendlies before he has to name his final 23 for germany. we know who's been able
1:38 pm
to play at that level, who our very best players are. and the rest, we've got a lot clearer picture of what people are capable of from the two games that we've played. and we're just going to see how people are when they come back into form, whether they can do that fitness—wise with their clubs. chelsea have a job to finish tonight, they're bidding to reach the last four of the champions league, and they lead ajax 3—0 going into the second leg of their quarterfinal at stamford bridge. chelsea went back to the top of the women's super league at the weekend, and they're on a run of six wins in a row, as they pursue four titles. they're in the fa cup semi—finals and the league cup final, but the champions league is the one they really want. they've never won it, but despite that convincing win in amsterdam, they're well aware that they're not through yet. the fear of losing or the fear of not being in that semifinal is as big a driverfor us as
1:39 pm
not being in that semifinal is as big a driver for us as the desire to win it is, in fact it is more. there is no one in our dressing room that will take tomorrow's game lightly or think for one minute thatjust because we are winning 3—0, that the game is over. it is a mistake, it starts in your head, in your mind. and whena starts in your head, in your mind. and when a team has nothing to lose, 3-0 and when a team has nothing to lose, 3—0 down, they play with freedom, they play in a different way to express themselves, and they are often the most dangerous opponents. novak djokovic has parted with his long—term coach goran ivanisevic, saying the split happened a few days ago. djokovic enjoyed his greatest success under the guidance of ivanisevic, who became his main coach in 2022 after several years working alongside marian vajda. djokovic said on social media that his on—court chemistry with ivanisevic "had its ups and downs" but theirfriendship was always rock solid. the serbian�*s form has been shaky of late, but he's just one grand slam title away from passing margaret court's tally of 2a, to become the most successful
1:40 pm
singles player in history. england's women have taken an unbeatable 3—1 lead in the t20 series against new zealand, with victory in wellington. maia bouchier hit an impressive 91 off 56 balls, her second half—century in a row, to help england to 177—3. and charlie dean took four wickets, as new zealand fell 47 runs short. the final match is on friday at the same venue. it was great to get a win and win the series. i think we talked about going out there with the same intent that we have the whole time, and i guess it came off for me today, but also the backend put in a good end score for us. then the bowling to finish it off at the end was a great way to win and win the series and see it off. we want to come out with a 4—1 win, and see it off. we want to come out with a a—1win, and i see it off. we want to come out with a 4—1 win, and i think it will be good tojust go a 4—1 win, and i think it will be good to just go out and play with the same intensity that we have
1:41 pm
been, and we can try different things if we want to, but that is something we want to do, win games. as much as the series is over, it is not over yet, so we want to make sure we do that really well. we're just four months away from the paris olympics, with the quest for places on team gb intensifying. tokyo gold medallist matt richards is aiming to qualify next week, with a top—two finish at the british swimming championships. he was part of the team that won the relay in 2021, and he's the reigning world champion in the 200m freestyle. now he wants an individual olympic gold medal. felicity kvesic met up with him at a training camp in somerset. winning olympic gold is a dream only a few people can achieve, but matt richards from worcestershire has already made it a reality, winning
