Toshack goes easy on Giggs
John Toshack revealed that his decision to play Ryan Giggs for only 45 minutes of Tuesday night's friendly against Brazil was to protect Wales' interest as well as Manchester United's.
Giggs did not appear after the break with Wales, in front of 22,008 fans, slipping to a 2-0 defeat as Brazil turned on the Samba style. Wales boss Toshack was mindful of not over-extending 32-year-old Giggs at this stage of an already busy season.
He said: "Ryan did very well in that company. We decided to give him just 45 minutes, because he had a hard game against the Czechs and he will be involved in the Champions League next week."
