Wales head coach Craig Bellamy has described the abuse he received during the team’s winless run as part of a “really difficult” period, while saying the victory over Norway has lifted the mood around the side.
Bellamy said the criticism came during a spell in which Wales were unable to secure a win. He indicated that the treatment he received had affected him personally as he dealt with pressure surrounding the team’s results.
Wales’ win over Norway has since provided a more positive atmosphere. The result ended the winless run and gave the squad and coaching staff a lift.
Bellamy’s comments underline the contrast between the difficult period he experienced during the poor run and the improved mood following the Norway victory. No further details about the abuse or the circumstances of the match were provided in the supplied material.
