Craig Bellamy is buzzing about the future of Welsh football, despite Wales taking a beating from England at Wembley. Bellamy admits his team got its backside handed to them, but he’s viewing it as a learning experience and insists the defeat has only fuelled his determination to push Wales to the top of international football.
Reflecting on the match, Bellamy said, “I didn’t love the loss, but there’s plenty to gain from it. This team has the potential to go further, and that excites me.” He emphasised Wales needs to be more aggressive and have a faster pace to compete against top teams. “It’s about intensity. We can’t be sluggish; we need sharp changes in speed to keep up.”
Ahead of the crucial World Cup qualifier against Belgium, Bellamy hopes the reality check at Wembley might light a fire in his squad, motivating them to climb above Belgium in Group J. He underlined the importance of maintaining positivity, saying, “I only see the good. There was a time when I focused on the negative, but I choose to look ahead now, believing special moments are coming.”
As for Belgium’s recent draw against North Macedonia, Bellamy isn’t overly concerned, suggesting the unpredictability of football is what makes it thrilling. “I’m not looking too far ahead,” he said. “In football, expect the unexpected. We have three matches left; if we win all, we take the top spot.”
Wales vs. Belgium at the sold-out Cardiff City Stadium promises to be a thrilling clash, with both teams vying for the top spot. Bellamy’s confidence and positive outlook have created a buzz around what could be a pivotal moment for Welsh football. Let’s embrace the journey and see where it takes us! ⚽🐉
