Bellamy was doing a Q & A tonight with Ian Gwynn -Hughes at Ton Pentre Football club, apparently the FAW have been doing a sort of roadshow with him around the country.
Very impressive very interesting to hear his opinion of how we need to play football to be successful, also interesting was his thoughts on some of the Wales squad and basically if you don’t work hard for the benefit of the team its unlikely you will get a game.
A few Cardiff fans there were going off about Ruben Colwill he replied he is playing well and then emphsisied in League 1, went on to say he is talented but doesn’t do enough tracking back and wont be playing for Wales or a higher level until he learns that lesson. Was very supportive of a few of the other Cardiff youngsters but full of praise for products of our academy.
Concerns that Acadenys picking up players at 6 yr old is damaging for children and believes that the academy system should only come in at teenage years. Up to that age coaching should be about skills and enjoyment with your friends.
Was very open on his mental health struggles over the years and how his behaviour was linked to that, talked about the lonely life in an academy and being homesick as a 15 year old in Norwich.
Someone asked about Celtic job and it would appear he was approached by them for the job whilst Brendan was still there but desperately wants to get to a tournament with Wales and leave a legacy.
Well worth attending one of these events if you get a chance.
