Bellamy Targets Growth Over Rivalry
Wales head coach Craig Bellamy expects England to win another major tournament soon.
He scheduled the friendly against England to test his squad against top-level opposition before facing Belgium in a World Cup qualifier.
Bellamy rejects the idea of friendlies, saying Wales will compete to win and show their identity on the pitch.
He praised England’s recent performances and emphasized respect for their fans and football culture.
Wales last met England at the 2022 World Cup, losing 3-0, and both teams now have new managers.
Bellamy has guided Wales to a Nations League group win, impressing with an ambitious style of play.
He contrasts his experience with England coach Thomas Tuchel, a veteran manager with multiple club-level titles.
Player Recruitment and Squad Strategy
Before facing England, Wales approached Tottenham winger Mikey Moore about switching allegiance from England.
Moore qualifies for Wales through a grandparent and has represented England at Under-19 level.
Bellamy confirmed Wales contacts players quietly, focusing on long-term squad building rather than public pressure.
He evaluates potential players based on mentality and ability to contribute to the team’s identity and performance.
Bellamy emphasizes collective improvement, saying Wales’ main rival is themselves, not other nations.
