Craig Bilami from Wales wants to “honor the shirt” by not switching with the opposition – Irish news

Craig Bilami told the Wales players “Honoring the shirt” and not swap of shirts with Kevin de Bruyne and Partners after the World Cup qualifiers in Belgium.

Wales resumes an attempt to reach the 2026 World Cup this week with a double head at home to Liechtenstein and away to the stars in full Belgium.

Confronting the Red Devils in the backyard in Brussels is the biggest test in Wales in the Group J, but Boss Bellamy believes that the culture and mentality that has been strengthened since his appointment last July and the eight -year -old, which Wales did not follow in a good position.

Bilami insists that Wales should not be considered vulnerable – “The small football countries do not expect to qualify for the World Cup, and we do” – and keep the shirt after the final whistle is among the pillars of his philosophy.

“You have to honor your shirt.” “The only time you give up is when you lose your place and another person takes it, but you left it in a good place.

“This is illogical to me and I think the players love it too.

“Our shirt is the most important football shirt. We don’t give it away, you cannot give it up.”

When asked if the shirts extended to the Belgian midfielder Maestro de Bruyne, one of the Premier League greats in Manchester City, Bilami replied: “I don’t think it is worth holding a conversation about him.

“You don’t need to answer this question. It will not happen.

“If you are an ambitious young player, I want a Wales shirt. I see our shirt the most important shirt, no one else.”

Wales opened her World Cup qualification campaign in March by winning 3-1 at home at Kazakhstan and tied 1-1 in northern Macedonia.

David Brooks tied with the latest kick in Scopji to protect the Bilami record, which was not defeated after Wales won the upgrade to the first degree of the Nations League in the fall.

Bellamy draws similarities with the basic habits of the football field to the success of a drama in Hollywood martial arts in the 1980s at the box office.

“Have you ever seen a karate child?” Bilami said.

“Does karate do immediately? No – it’s Mr. Miji who decides.

“It is wax, wax. It draws the fence. He teaches all these types of bases before he can do karate, so he has specializations.

“It comes to the basics and customs. If you do not have this intensity without the ball, if your body language is weak and you are waving with your hands, this is the wrong team for you. This is not your team.”
