“If we have now a couple of accidents, which we had a couple of or two, they miss 4 video games,” stated Bellamy.

“We can take care of two, do you perceive? And then the squad will get actually examined. The depth of the squad, the athleticism, actually I believe [the four-game break] is designed for the elites.

“[They can] say, we are able to go, we are able to go, we are able to flip over these video games actually, actually shortly and we are able to change, we are able to change [the team] like for like as a result of we have now the numbers. So, it places an actual stress on numerous us.”
