Neil Taylor has revealed that he is in the 35 man Team GB squad for the Olympic football tournament
The 35 man squad will be trimmed to a final number of 18 on July 6 and Taylor revealed how happy he was to be in the provisional squad
“It will be a great thing to do, if you make the final cut,” said Taylor to BBC Sport
“I am delighted to have made the cut and it’s a great opportunity and we just have to wait for the final squad to see who he takes,” said the 23-year-old.
“Technically, you are going to be an Olympian and that is something a lot of athletes work towards all their lives.
“I think it will be a strong team,” said Taylor.
“We have a country full of good young players but it is the Olympics and you expect the teams to be good.
“I think Fifa have put players and coaches in a bad position in Britain,” said Taylor.
“Because the countries don’t want it but the individual players want to play in the Olympics. It is a tough one.”
Taylor is joined by fellow Welshman Craig Bellamy, Gareth Bale and Joe Allen while Ryan Giggs and Aaron Ramsey are also tipped to be selected
