England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST)<\/p>\n

\"\"Wales<\/p>\n

Wales boss Craig Bellamy: “Everyone gets caught up in this [Tuchel being German]. What’s the most important thing for England to do? I don’t believe it matters. Get the best person.<\/p>\n

“If the most incredible coach and he happens to be from your country that’s a win-win. I always believe it should be the best person, it does not matter where they are from. Just get the best person who will help you get the moment you want. <\/p>\n

“England have a top manager, who has won the Champions League. You have an incredible squad. It is getting them into the right system. If you look at Spain, did they have all their best players? No, they went in a different direction that fitted the way the manager wanted to play.<\/p>\n

“I’m expected to qualify. Rightly so. You want that expectation, you don’t hide away from it. You don’t have a right to win it. You have a right to expect to win. We always talk of pressure as a privilege. With an experienced manager like you have now it is normal. <\/p>\n

“Serbia, you go to Belgrade and win 5-0 in a hostile atmosphere, it is a nice benchmark. We are not Serbia. I don’t think you put unnecessary pressure on. We demand it. It makes you feel alive. If it helps you progress even quicker go with it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Just get the best person’published at 18:06 BST 18:06 BST England v Wales (Thursday, 19:45 BST) Wales Wales…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-186069","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
