England vs. Wales: friendly international

Wembley Stadium, London Date: Thursday, October 9 Start time: 19:45 BST

A boxing promoter wouldn’t pair England and their squad against his Wales side because they have such impressive squad depth, according to Craig Bellamy.

Before their crucial World Cup qualifying match against Belgium on Monday, Bellamy’s men take on England in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday.

For the Wales friendly and their World Cup qualifier against Latvia, England manager Thomas Tuchel has eliminated players like Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, and Jack Grealish from his squad.

Bellamy claimed that England has a ridiculous squad similar to France.

“Our transfer market value is £170 million, while theirs is £1.4 billion. You wouldn’t join us if you were a boxing promoter. It wouldn’t be permitted, “.

The head coach of Wales, however, stated that “we don’t go off values. They don’t just have one team.” France has the same level, while others have two, three, four. The truth is that England has a lot of talented players.

There are only 24 more left after one right-back was hurt the other day. There are 60 or so players there. We should be stacked like them, in my opinion.

The neighbouring nations most recently met at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when England won the group game comfortably with a score of 3-0 before Gareth Southgate’s side advanced to the last eight.

Tuchel, a champion champion in the Champions League and Fifa Club World Cup at Chelsea, is Southgate’s replacement, who has won national titles in France and his home country of Germany.

Bellamy served as Vincent Kompany’s assistant at Anderlecht and Burnley before taking over from Tuchel at Bayern Munich.

“Tuchel’s a fantastic manager, and his record is impressive,” Bellamy continued.

Because the club he left, I know people who have entered there, so I have some sort of insight. It’s very impressive to see how he operates in his own eyes.
