""We are here tomorrow to come and play our brand of football in difficult circumstances, in an incredible place like Wembley," said Bellamy. "It is excitement. We are not here as tourists to enjoy the occasion. We are here to be the best version of ourselves.""
""I honestly believe if you play this England team and you defend deep you'll die a slow death and I'm not into that," he said. "I'm like 'please put me up against the wall and end it now'.""
""Thomas is a top manager. It's been really nice looking at a lot of England's games under him, but also I watched a lot of games at Dortmund as well. "I went back because I've seen a bit of similarity to what I see with the team right now and what he's trying to transfer with England.""
England host Wales at Wembley on Thursday 9 October, kick-off 19:45 BST, with BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru coverage. Wales arrive after a disappointing friendly defeat by Canada but retain a strong chance of World Cup qualification, sitting third in Group J and scheduled to face Belgium in Cardiff on Monday 13 September. Wales intend to play an attacking brand of football at Wembley and treat the match as competitive rather than ceremonial. England sit top of Group K under Thomas Tuchel and are widely expected to qualify, having recently beaten Serbia 5-0. Harry Kane misses the match with an ankle problem.
