Well Davies admits that the disappointment of the Wales departure from the 2022 World Cup took some time to overcome, but the defender insists that the team is more motivated than ever before their classification against Kazakhstan.
Wales was eliminated from the tournament in Qatar in the group stage without collecting a victory in what was his first appearance in a World Cup final in 64 years.
Dragons begin their classification campaign for the 2026 World Cup on Saturday, as Kazakhstan is home to Cardiff City Stadium.
Wales is unbeaten with new manager Craig Bellamy and will be confident after ensuring promotion in the Nations League in November.

Davies will capture the side in the absence of the wounded Aaron Ramsey, and despite the strong recent form of the team, the defender was a candidate in his assessment of his sample two years ago.
“It’s something that hooks me and I’m sure you stick with many other boys,” said Davies.
“The best time of Qatar for us was probably the game of Ukraine (play-off). It was disappointing and is a difficult thing to overcome for a while.
“We really didn’t show ourselves on the world stage that we are or how good we can be. So hunger to go -again is still there.”
Beside his Saturday’s opponents, Wales has been drawn in a group qualified with Liechtenstein, North Macedonia and Belgium.
And while on paper, there is likely to be more severe evidence waiting for Davies and Co. That Kazakhstan, the Tottenham player believes that there is no forgotten conclusion in international football.
Davies said: “Each game now internationally will be a hard game. We are aware that the expectation (win) is there, but it is not something that as a group we have to pay attention.
“It will be a tough game against a rival who will make us very difficult and will fight for each ball.”

The game will also mark the first major qualification game of the Bellamy Tournament as its manager.
The 45 -year -old, who won 78 Wales as a player, has supervised three wins and three draws in his first six games in office: the best start of any manager of Wales.
And Davies believes that the squad is gaining the benefits of Bellamy trainer talent.
“I feel like I’m learning all the time,” Davies said about how to play Bellamy.
“The level of detail of the training terrain and the meeting rooms is not second. The greatest fulfillment that I can give -(Bellamy) is that all the players in this squad feel that they are improving.”
Wales assumed Kazakhstan at Cardiff City Stadium Saturday, with the start of the United Kingdom at 19:45.
