Manchester United ace Ryan Giggs believes the Wales captaincy will improve the game of Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy.
"He's a proud Welshman and he'll be a very good captain. In the two games he was captain when I was injured, it improved his performance.
"Some players react to responsibility and Craig is like that. He'll enjoy the captaincy and his displays will get better. He's a leader on and off the pitch."
Wales defender Danny Gabbidon says Bellamy and Giggs are two contrasting personalities and expects Bellamy to hand out more tongue-lashings.
West Ham centre-back Gabbidon said: "Ryan is more quiet and leads with his performances, while Craig is very enthusiastic.
"Craig will do a good job as captain and we look forward to playing under him. I am sure that the captaincy will change Craig."
