The Welsh team scored third goals in four Nations League matches held during the recently ended international break. The Welsh lost to Denmark with a 0:1 draw - the share of the strikers was the share of penalty conversions against Vikon Rasmus Gylund in the other half.
After the game, Wales head coach Craig Bellamy directly linked the recent result to the new calendar, and instead of the main two matches, the results were changed.. According to the mentor, such an intensive schedule plays into the hands of great football nations with deep reserves, but for this team it turned into a real personnel collapse.
" It makes no sense. Chotiri gri on such a level. We know which countries voted for the resolution, even if I was in that room. I am among those who voted against it, but we realized that for us it is absolutely inconceivable. The intensity of the grill is adjusted to the highest level, so that you can quickly rotate the warehouse without wasting juice.. For the rich among us, this creates unnecessary stress,” Bellamy said..
Wales' hopes of returning to the top were plagued by an epidemic of injuries. Karl Darlow, Joe Rawdon, Dylan Lawlor and Harry Wilson passed through the polling station.. David Brooks was knocked out after kicking off against Portugal, while Den James was found unfit to take the field against the players..
In addition, the coach learned that the main defender Ben Davis was out of order and demanded a fix. The next step was the toothless game of Wales in the attack. On the eve of the final close match against Norway, the Welsh could not find the energy to press on the opponent's goal.

Goalkeeper Denny Ward made two remarkable saves after shots from Goylund and Gustav Isaksen, leaving zeros on the scoreboard, but his penalty and foul led to a fatal penalty. Bellamy did not call the goalkeeper, which meant that Denmark had pressed hard on defense throughout the entire match.
Despite the defeat, Wales continue to claim third place in Group A4 of the Nations League. The team beats Norway in a head-to-head match (2:1). This month, Bellamy will finish the tournament with a foreign match against Norway in Oslo and a home game with Portugal.
