Ben Fisher was in Cardiff tonight, and his verdict has landed. Here it is! Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
A radiant Craig Bellamy, smiling in cat-cream mode, is asked what made him happy by S4C. “Being able to control the tempo of the second half … now, we still need improvement on it … obviously you’ll get breaks when you go forward and you feel like you can score from every opportunity … but then they’re dangerous then for the counter … it’s that transitional game that becomes a little bit complicated … in the first half they sat deeper … at this present moment that really suits us … we were able to control it a little bit better than we have [previously] been able to do … this Nations League is so good, so competitive … but it allows you to play players who need game time … it’s going to take 20-plus players to have a real good go at qualifying for a major tournament … so to get the minutes in … expose the players … it’s really beneficial to us in the long run … there are still bits of improvement we need but that was better.”
