Liverpool hero Craig Bellamy has
admitted he is not worried about speculation regarding his future
at the club.
Bellamy's long-term future at Anfield has been thrown into doubt
following last week's reported bust-up with team-mate John Arne
Riise on a training camp in Portugal.
The Welshman put all the rumours behind him to inspire Liverpool to
a memorable 2-1 win over Barcelona in midweek and he insists he is
used to speculation over his future.
"I am a player who has always been linked with other clubs each
season," Bellamy told the Daily Star.
"At Blackburn last year it was 'he's moving on' all that sort of
stuff.
"At Newcastle I was joining a different club in every transfer
window. I live with speculation.
"When you are at a club like Liverpool and are my sort of player
there are always going to be stories about getting rid or bringing
someone else in.
"It doesn't bother me at all, it's part of football and life.
"I am going to enjoy the moment, which I repeat is the best of my
career.
"This result after all that had been said about me is right up
there."
Meanwhile, Bellamy has revealed his golf-swing celebration at Camp
Nou was pre-planned among the Liverpool players.
Bellamy celebrated his equaliser against Barcelona by swinging an
imaginary golf club in a gesture towards the media following his
reported attack on Riise with a golf club.
Bellamy said: "If any of us scored, that was the deal, I was
supposed to do it straightaway, but there was a delay, because it
was one of those was it in or wasn't it moments?
"I don't know about any turmoil at the club. All I can say is we
have had a decent week. We were all looking forward to this game
and determined that nothing would be allowed to spoil it.
"It probably sounds mad and people can write what they like, but we
have a quiet group of lads here. In terms of having a laugh, the
last week has been the best we've had since I joined the
club.
"It brought us all closer together and maybe because we knew
Barcelona were coming up, we knew we had to work for each other. It
has turned out perfectly."
