Wales head coach Craig Bellamy expressed that justice was served when Turkey missed a controversial penalty in their Nations League draw, stating, 'I felt that was justice. I don't believe Turkey deserved to win it that way.' This incident highlighted the contentious decisions made by the referee, particularly as Bellamy insisted that Neco Williams did indeed touch the ball before the challenge that led to the penalty being awarded. He's skeptical about the influence of VAR in such moments.
Bellamy reflected positively on the draw despite Turkey's dominance, saying, 'I learned a lot [about the team]. Defending the box, we showed resilience under pressure and created our own chances. The disallowed goal and hitting the post demonstrated our potential. This match proved we can stand strong against tough opponents, and it is vital for our ambition towards the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign.' His remarks suggest a budding confidence within the squad.
