'A bad boy' Craig Bellamy (46) is showing amazing leadership after being appointed as the head coach of the Welsh national team.

The Welsh national team, led by head coach Bellamy, won 3-1 against Kazakhstan at Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on the 23rd (Korea time) with consecutive goals from Daniel James (Liz), Ben Davies (Tottenham) and Ravi Matondo (Hanover) in the first Group J match of the 2026 North-China World Cup European qualifiers.

Davis, known as Son Heung-min's best friend, remained the winner of the final goal. Tottenham striker Brennan Johnson started as a one-top and spent 62 minutes on the ground to help his team win.




With three points in the first game, Wales jumped to second place in Group J behind Northern Ireland, who defeated Liechtenstein 3-0. The score was tied, and the score was one goal behind the difference. In the European qualifying round, the first place in 12 groups will automatically qualify for the finals, and the second place in each group will play a playoff. A total of 16 copies will be distributed.

After appointing Bellamy in July last year, Wales have seen a clear rise. Coach Bellamy led the team to seven games before the match against Kazakhstan, winning four games, drawing three, and leading the team to an unbeaten run. It drew with Turkiye and Iceland, beat Montenegro and Iceland. Wales lead Group B of the European Nations League.

Bellamy has only coached Anderlecht and Burnley since his retirement from active duty in 2014, and this is the first time he has taken over as an official head coach. It is a remarkable achievement for a beginner leader.




Davis told British public broadcaster BBC'BBC' after the game that `the players were deeply frustrated at half-time. Then, director Bellamy came into the locker room in the form of 'Mr. Calm' and delivered a clear message. He simply asked for more energy and asked us to continue playing that we've been playing" he said.

Although Davis said 'Mr. Calm' was the opposite of his active days. When he played for Liverpool in the mid-2000s, he had a war of nerves with his teammate Jon Arneryise at the training ground. Bellamy's late-night sober return to her accommodation and wielding a golf club toward Lisse illustrates Bellamy's 'rough temperament'.

His skills were outstanding as well. He won the 2001-2002 PFA Young Player of the Year Award. He scored 170 goals in 549 games for Norwich City, Newcastle United, Celtic, Blackburn, West Ham, Manchester City and Cardiff City. He won the League Cup when he was in Liverpool and finished second in the European Champions League and the FA Cup.




He played 78 A matches for Wales and scored 19 goals. He is ninth in the national team and seventh in scoring.

Wales will play North Macedonia in an away match in the second round of World Cup qualifiers on the 26th.
