The return to fitness of players such as captain Aaron Ramsey and forwards Kieffer Moore and midfielder Ethan Ampadu could further such aims, with several others having missed games through injury.
Bellamy, though, has used 25 players over his opening games to ensure his wider squad are feeling part of what already seems like a new era for the side that missed out on Euro 2024 qualification.
In this latest example, Wales came from behind for the first time – and also scored after the interval to ease concerns of a high-tempo instruction tailing off in games.
“This was probably the most complete performance so far,” said forward Mark Harris.
“You don’t want to go one down, but he [Bellamy] just said in the dressing room that reacting like that, still playing our way, playing our stuff, keeping the ball – and even without the ball – I thought we were fantastic.”
Cabango added: “He just wants us to play with courage on and off the ball and we’re buying into it.
“It’s being willing to take the ball at any time, but also with the high line, pressing from the front, wanting to win it back – he gives you freedom so if you do give it away you have the backing of him.”
The players are now keen to showcase such belief on a bigger stage, with automatic World Cup qualification on offer for 12 group winners by this time next year, the 12 group runners-up, plus four Nations League group winners, heading into the play-offs for the final four spots.
“I think in the first six games it shows the ideas and the way he wants us to play is working for us – and hopefully we can take that into the World Cup qualifiers,” added Cullen.
“Topping the group tops off the perfect start for the manager and his staff.”
