Before his side’s 1-1 draw with World Cup-bound Ghana at Cardiff City Stadium, Bellamy spoke of his desire to improve Wales’ poor summer record.

And three days on from facing the Black Stars, he raised concerns over his country’s miserable record in away friendlies.

The Red Dragons are winless in their past 16 away friendly fixtures – a run that stretches back to November 2008, when Bellamy himself scored the only goal of the contest to earn Wales a 1-0 victory over Denmark in Brondby.

“Our friendlies are not great when you look at the records,” said the Wales boss.

“I think the last time we won away was 2008. It’s like, ‘come on’.

“If we want to create expectations, to put demands on ourselves and the public as well, we have to have a better record than what we have.”

The contest in Bucharest represents an opportunity to end the summer schedule on a high and send Wales into their Nations League A campaign later this year in positive spirits.

Bellamy’s side will face Portugal, Denmark and Norway in that campaign, and captain Ethan Ampadu says Wales’ meeting with Romania provides one final chance to build towards those eye-catching fixtures.

“That’s what our focus has been in this June camp; to raise our levels, to put in better performances, to learn from mistakes that we’ve learned from in the past and to put them right,” said the Leeds United midfielder.

“For what’s to come to make sure we prepare to keep building momentum for that.”
