This will be Wales’ first friendly under Bellamy, who has only previously presided over Nations League and World Cup qualifying matches.<\/p>\n
There will be an opportunity to experiment with selection, Bellamy hinting that more players could make their debut after Cardiff City’s 19-year-old centre-back Dylan Lawlor impressed on his first senior international appearance in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n
His Bluebirds team-mates Ronan Kpakio and Joel Colwill, as well as Coventry City midfielder Kai Andrews, are the uncapped players in the squad.<\/p>\n
“We want to play the best teams. I haven’t been in a position where I could choose games because every game I’ve had to this date has always had something riding on it, points and qualifying,” said Bellamy.<\/p>\n
“But now this game with Canada really fitted us. And the opportunity to play England at Wembley? Never underestimate it. That’s amazing.<\/p>\n
“I want [it to be the case] that every game is tough, every game is intense. You’ve got to run, sprint and change direction and what if that ball goes over the top – no ambling back, ploddy players. <\/p>\n
“If we don’t do that against these type of teams we’re going to get hurt. That’s why these games are so important, we have to have the right habits.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This will be Wales’ first friendly under Bellamy, who has only previously presided over Nations League and World…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-129458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
