Coach Bellamy is frustrated as Wales settles for a draw with North Macedonia
Wales head coach Craig Bellamy had mixed emotions during a recent match against North Macedonia. Despite a strong performance, Wales ended up with a 1-1 draw, disappointing Bellamy.
In the first half, Wales controlled the game but struggled to score. Captain Ben Davies praised Bellamy's calm approach, calling him ‘Mr. Calm’ after a steady half-time speech.
However, the match took a dramatic turn in injury time. Wales seemed set to lose when North Macedonia scored from a mistake. In a thrilling moment, substitute David Brooks equalised before the final whistle. Bellamy's joy was evident after the goal but quickly returned to his serious demeanour.
He expressed mixed feelings, saying, ‘I thought it would be hard to accept losing, but we need to learn from this.’ He acknowledged that while the draw was a point earned, it felt like a missed opportunity for a win.
Bellamy also noted that football can be cruel and that his team deserved more. Wales is second in Group J, trailing North Macedonia on goal difference. With tougher matches ahead, Coach Bellamy knows his team must improve.
