This is a team Bellamy has built in his image. They are daring, adventurous, unafraid to lose in the pursuit of glory.<\/p>\n
To sit back and play for a draw is not in their make-up, Bellamy said beforehand, and Wales backed that up with a momentous performance to roar back from 3-0 down to level.<\/p>\n
Harry Wilson’s penalty, Sorba Thomas’ composed low strike and Brennan Johnson’s header had Belgium rattled and Wales dreaming.<\/p>\n
Kevin de Bruyne had the final say to secure a 4-3 win for Belgium, but Bellamy could not help but smile when he was asked for his thoughts.<\/p>\n
“I don’t like losing. I understand the game, but how you lose is more important,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Who are you as a person? Who is your team? I see that and I’m beyond proud. We’re a good team.<\/p>\n
“I understand results, I really do, but football means more to me than that. It always has done. I’d rather try something great and fail than do nothing and succeed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is a team Bellamy has built in his image.
