Aaron Ramsey believes that playing in the World Cup would be a ' icing on the cake' for him, as he eyes up a second international tournament. The Wales midfielder has been injured for nearly 14 months and is currently without a club, Pumas UNAM having terminated his contract early amid reports of Ramsey's fitness issues.
Ramsey said that if he were to make it to next summer's World Cup, he would be 'over the moon.' He added that qualifying for the tournament would be "the icing on the cake" and stated that he is doing everything in his power to return to fitness.
He also praised Wales' coach Craig Bellamy, who led the team to a 7-1 victory over North Macedonia, saying that Ramsey "still has a lot to offer". Ramsey expressed gratitude to the fans of Cardiff City Stadium, where Wales will host Bosnia and Herzegovina in the semi-finals.
Ramsey revealed that he had been exploring the possibility of joining another club but acknowledged that he needed time to focus on his recovery. The 34-year-old believes that he has a lot to offer as a manager, stating that management is something he "definitely enjoys doing".
When asked about his desire to take up a managerial role in the future, Ramsey said: 'It's addictive'.

I'm not sure if Aaron Ramsey's comments are more about being optimistic or just masking some harsh realities. 14 months without playing is a long time, especially for someone who was once considered one of the top players in their position. 
At this point, it feels like he needs to be realistic about his own abilities and not put too much pressure on himself. 
His desire to join another club or even take up a managerial role seems like a natural progression, but let's not forget that football is an injury-prone sport 
. Can he really trust his body to hold up for the World Cup? 
The icing on the cake comment does come across as slightly arrogant, considering how much time has passed since his last professional match... 
. 34 and still chasing that international glory, says a lot about his dedication 
. but being part of a management team sounds appealing too, not sure if it's the right time for him just yet...
. And now he's all about playing in the World Cup, but what if he can't make it back to top form? That would be a major embarrassment for both him and Wales 
️. What if this is all just a PR stunt to boost his managerial prospects 
? I mean, come on, 34 years old and suddenly you wanna become a manager? Sounds like a well-rehearsed script to me 
.
They could use his experience and skill. And who knows, maybe the World Cup is in his sights?
