Bosnia's Dzeko poses big World Cup threat - Bellamy

"Always. He was never that speed player but his link-up play and game intelligence is always going to be high. He's still playing at a good level and he's definitely a dangerous player. The idea for us would be to keep Bosnia away from our box because that's when he comes into his own."

"The more time he's outside the box the benefit it would be for us, so we have to keep him as high away from our goal as possible. Watching Bosnia has been a decent watch so far. It's going to be a tough game. Physically they are very good, well-organised and good in both boxes."

Wales head coach Craig Bellamy has cautioned his team about the threat posed by Bosnia-Herzegovina's veteran striker Edin Dzeko ahead of their World Cup play-off semi-final on March 26. Dzeko, Bosnia's all-time leading goal-scorer with 72 goals in 146 caps, will turn 40 just nine days before the match. Currently playing for Schalke in Bundesliga 2, Dzeko is no longer a speed-based player but remains dangerous due to his exceptional game intelligence and link-up play. Bellamy's tactical approach emphasizes keeping Dzeko away from Wales's penalty box, where his strengths are most effective. Wales aim to qualify for back-to-back World Cups after finishing runners-up to Belgium in their qualifying group.
