"Positivity is something I have to have around me, from my coaches, players; body language, I'm very big on that, how you present yourself, it's so important. I only ever see good. Trust me, there was a period where I only ever saw the other side. I know which side I want to see. Being positive is everything."
"Players have been in this situation so many times over the last 10 years, especially Cardiff nights. The crowd are used to these moments. When we've managed to qualify it's been here. I didn't get to experience that [as a player] usually at this stage I was out of the group so it's nice to be able to get to three games left and a huge game on Monday that if we win, it's a nice start to the remaining games."
Wales host Belgium in a crucial World Cup qualifier with automatic qualification still possible if they win in Cardiff. Craig Bellamy insists on a positive mindset, stressing body language and belief and saying a special moment could arrive. The squad received a boost when Belgium drew with North Macedonia, leaving Wales' fate in their own hands. The team aims to recover after a 3-0 friendly defeat to England, which captain Ben Davies regarded as a wake-up call ahead of his 100th cap. Bellamy intends to use Cardiff's big-night experience and wants to close the gap on top managers.
