The Welsh national team have changed their style of play with Bellamy.
Looking at Robert Page’s final 12 games in charge with Craig Bellamy's first 12 games as Wales head coach, one clear change is a new approach to focus more on ball control and dominating games through possession.
During Page's tenure, The Welsh aggressive tactics centered around applying high pressure off the ball, especially in the flanks, mostly employing a adaptable 3-4-3 setup to attack directly.
Craig Bellamy has only utilized a four-man defense, pushing the team to maintain possession and develop plays in a more prosaic manner.
The change in approach has produced a far higher average ball control, a increased pass count and a small decrease in how regularly they give the ball away high up the pitch.
The team also shows a improved expected goals metric since Bellamy took over.
Can Bellamy's approach offer Wales a better opportunity of defeating England?
The new approach with the new coach signifies a significant departure away from the previous regime.
