In the warm-up match held early this morning, Wales lost 0-3 away to England. Wales coach Bellamy was interviewed after the game.
In the first 20 minutes of this game, Wales conceded three goals in a row. Bellamy first said: "I believe we were just shocked. We didn't run that extra yard or press that extra yard, and you can't do that against an opponent of this level. We looked very struggling, and we can't be like this. We have to find some ways in the game. This is indeed a difficult game."
Bellamy then emphasized that he did not regret arranging this warm-up match. "What determines whether we can be a good team? Pressure, away from home, packed stadiums... That's why it's so important to schedule this game. Because you will be tested and you will feel the pressure."
Bellamy continued: "That's why I want to schedule this game. We need to test our current situation. If you like, we could have chosen to schedule a game against Lithuania. - It's not disrespectful to say that, but that way we can have a lot of chances to have the ball and then try to break through the opponent's defense."
Bellamy also pointed out: "What do we want to do? What kind of team do we want to be? Today, even now, I see the physical fitness of the English players, the speed, the confrontation, of course, when you have a lot of players. That helps when you play in the Champions League, the most important competition in the world. And that's the level we want the players to reach, and I want the players to see that and feel that. "
Bellamy said: "This feeling is very familiar to me, just like when I played for Burnley against Manchester City in the past, when we were already 0-6 behind at 60 minutes. I still remember Vinnie coming up to me and saying, ‘How long is the game left? ’ I said, ‘30 minutes more,’ and it was like, ‘Oh, no! ’ But the players should understand that this is the level we want to reach and we know we have to give it our all to compete with these national teams and we have to give it our all next Monday. "
Next, Wales will play a World Cup qualifier against Belgium. Berard believes that this defeat will not affect the next game. "I hope our egos are hurt, I hope we're angry, but next Monday is a different game. We learn from this experience and we don't want to feel this way again, and you can take advantage of that. Getting hurt? You can't go anywhere if you don't want to get hurt. And it's just a football game, and I've never been injured in a football game. You learn the most if you lose badly, and I lost badly this time."source:ket qua 7m
