The match at Wembley will be the first meeting between these two sides since England confirmed Wales' group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup with a comprehensive 3-0 win in Qatar.A lot has changed since then, most notably the managers, with Bellamy replacing Rob Page and Tuchel succeeding Gareth Southgate.Former Newcastle United, Liverpool and Manchester City forward Bellamy has impressed during his first year in charge, as Wales have won their Nations League group and caught the eye with an ambitious new style of play.Whereas this is Bellamy's first senior managerial role, Tuchel is a vastly experienced coach and proved himself a serial winner in German, French and English club football before moving into international management with England."We get the opportunity to go and play a top manager and a top nation," said Bellamy."But our biggest rivals are ourselves. Who we are. It's us against us. It always is. What's the version we want to carry? Who are the people we represent?"That's our identity. We have to show that in every single game. How we work without the ball. How we get back in numbers. How we show our personality when we have the ball."That's who we want to be. That's the team I want to coach. That's what I'm more concerned on than a rivalry. I don't buy into that, and I've never looked at it that way."Before facing England on the field, Wales have been taking on their neighbours by trying to convince Tottenham Hotspur winger Mikey Moore to switch international allegiance to play for them.Moore, who is on loan at Scottish Premiership side Rangers, has represented England Under-19s but qualifies for Wales through a grandparent.BBC Sport Wales revealed last week that the Football Association of Wales (FAW) had contacted the 18-year-old Londoner, with Bellamy among those to have spoken to him."We look at every player that's available," he said. "I'd prefer it if it wasn't aired, if I'm being honest, it does us no favours."We do our work behind the scenes. We do it for every player we feel is going to offer us something, but I'm always against pressure from the outside."I've spoken to a lot of players we feel would definitely benefit us in the future - we need a big squad, so we're always aware of that. We would be naive not to be aware of it."No individual, I don't believe, especially young players, should be in the public domain. I understand it but it's not how I go about it. For me to mention individuals, I never do."But for us, we're always aware of who can represent us. Do they have the mentality, do they have the ability to add to us? And if they do, then we're always aware and always trying to be as active as we can, as we have been for a number of years."
