🔗 Share this article England Squad Depth Labelled 'Ridiculous' - Welsh Manager Bellamy The German manager was appointed England manager in late 2024. Published 1 hour ago International friendly: England v Wales Venue: Wembley Stadium, the capital Date: October 9th Kick-off: 7:45 PM BST The Wales head coach states the English squad depth is remarkable that matchmakers would not pair them against the Welsh team. The Welsh squad meet England in a non-competitive match at the national stadium on Thursday before their important World Cup qualifier against Belgium next Monday. England manager Tuchel has omitted the likes of Bellingham, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish out of his selection for the Wales friendly and their World Cup qualifier against the Latvian team. "The English have a incredible team, like the French," Bellamy said. "England have a transfer market value of £1.4bn, Wales' is £170m. Were you a boxing promoter, you would not put us together. It wouldn't be allowed." Bellamy says ensuring the Welsh team can face the talented rivals is a "key motivation". Bellamy continued: "Our team do not rely on values, but the simple fact is England have more than a single lineup. They possess multiple and France and others have the same level. They have many top talents and that's a fact." "One right-back was ruled out injured the other day and there are two dozen others to choose from! They have 60-odd footballers. I wish us to be stacked like them." The neighbouring countries last faced each other at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when England ran out easy victors in a group match before the previous England team made it to the last eight. The new manager is Tuchel, a Champions League and Fifa Club World Cup champion at the London club who has won domestic titles in France and his home country. Bellamy was formerly an assistant at the Belgian side and Burnley to Kompany, who replaced Tuchel at the German giants. "He's an outstanding manager - his record is proven," he added. "I possess a degree of understanding because the club he left I know people who have joined. I gain a glimpse from that of how he works and it's remarkable. " "His tactical detail is top level and I wanted to be up against that - see how we adjust because he adapts too. I will get to learn from it. I'd love to reach that level."
