Bellamy has regularly been keen to stress the need for Wales to increase and improve their player pool.<\/p>\n
The 46-year-old has used 37 different players during his tenure to date.<\/p>\n
He has also handed seven players – Karl Darlow, Dylan Lawlor, Ronan Kpakio, Kai Andrews, Joel Colwill, Isaak Davies and Cameron Congreve – their senior Wales debuts.<\/p>\n
Qualifying for Euro 2028 remains the long-term aim for Wales and Bellamy, and blooding young talent has been viewed as a necessity to strengthen the nation’s long-term prospects.<\/p>\n
Now halfway through his four-year contract with the Football Association of Wales, there are clearly signs of evolution, although there is work still to be done.<\/p>\n
Assessing his two years in the hotseat after the loss to Romania, Bellamy said: “We’re definitely very different, two years older.<\/p>\n
“It’s been really enjoyable, there’s a lot of stuff I really like that we’ve been able to do.<\/p>\n
“But also it’s so, so clear, I feel that if we want to improve, these are the areas we need to improve on.”<\/p>\n
Bellamy, who has been linked with several clubs in recent months, has clearly not lost his appetite for the Wales job.<\/p>\n
“That excites me as well because I do like the team, I like how we play, but we need to be better in certain areas,” he added.<\/p>\n
“That’s going to allow us to be able to compete with the top, top teams on a regular basis – because that’s where we want to be and we’re going to be tested now on that in Nations League A. <\/p>\n
“It’s going to test everything about us. That’s where we want to be and that’s where we want to stay, so a lot of work to do.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
