How Wales boss Craig Bellamy and The Bear's main character Carmy Berzatto use 'non-negotiables' in their pursuit of perfection.
Craig Bellamy and Carmy Berzatto, played by Jeremy Allen White, share some traits in their respective pursuits of excellenceIn the critically acclaimed television series The Bear, head chef and lead protagonist Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto lays out a list of “non-negotiables” for staff at his upscale restaurant.
Players have actually used the same terminology in reference to Bellamy, while he himself has mentioned “non-negotiables” in every one of his interviews so far. The hours that players have spent in meeting rooms with Bellamy and his analysts are clear in the way they switch positions or change tactically according to the match situation or what their opponents are doing.“Habits have to be good,” he says. “Body language has to be good, showing intent.
“Being able to recognise all this, it sounds like it's just race, race, race. It’s not. Players are very clever. They are able to move into these situations. Do I expect it all to happen? No, there are certain times it won’t. But that’s what we’re looking to get to.”Bellamy’s long-term aim is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Before then, he wants his team to demonstrate a clear playing identity and, if possible, win their games while doing so.
That was evident during his first game against Turkey. Even though it ended goalless, this was a thrilling glimpse of what lies ahead and a bold antidote to the underwhelming display that had seen Wales fail to qualify for Euro 2024. Bellamy has laid out what he wants from Wales now and in the future, and there will be no negotiating how they get there.
