Wales manager Bellamy has stated that he is not thinking about the controversy surrounding his former club Manchester City as he prepares his team to face Norway, led by Haaland.

Norway will travel to Wales at Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday evening local time. Bellamy has faced difficult times recently, with Wales failing to win in their last six matches in 2024, and they are hoping to end this embarrassing run in the upcoming fixture.

External attention will likely focus on Norway's star player, Haaland. Beyond his remarkable technical ability, the recent controversy involving Manchester City has also drawn scrutiny to him.

Bellamy joined Manchester City in 2009 and left two years later. However, he stated that he is not spending time considering what is happening with his former club.

Bellamy said, "I've played for many clubs, and if we went through them one by one, it would take all day. It has nothing to do with tomorrow's match against Norway. We can talk about it later. But right now, we've just suffered three consecutive defeats and tomorrow we face Norway, so that's the last thing on my mind."

Bellamy also believes that Haaland will not be distracted by the Manchester City controversy.

Bellamy stated, "I don't think he'll be bothered. This guy is a machine. Have you seen his goal record for the national team? He just wants to score goals. Nothing can stop him. If you love football, you have to appreciate him. He's a world-class player. It's very rare to find a player of his physical stature who also has such exceptional mobility.

"When you see special moments in certain athletes' careers, or special phenomena in a sport, do you remember the impact Jonah Lomu had on rugby in the 1990s? We are now living in the Haaland era.

"Now, we will have to make adjustments. The sport will evolve accordingly. How we handle a player like that will be another challenge, but it's also an exciting one."
