da aviator aposta: Fabio Capello’s descent from “god to monster” since England’s shambolic display at the World Cup means he is now immersed in pressure as England enter their European Championship qualifiers and his reputation could be defined by their performances.
Since that fateful day in Bloemfontein the Italian’s disciplinarian approach has come under mass scrutiny but is there a better alternative to set England on the road to recovery?
His reputation goes before him having managed two of the greatest clubs in world football, AC Milan and Real Madrid and regardless of his World Cup woe in South Africa surely his experience at the top level permits the opportunity to try and instigate redemption. It will of course take time.
England fans will have been demoralised by the unrealistic expectations that “this could be England’s year under a manager like Capello” compared with now as England look to enter another ‘new era’ such was the blatant exposure of their failings but the loss of authority the Italian suffered will only intensify his desire to put things right.
So he will have no doubt welcomed a victory against Bulgaria with open arms – a 4-0 victory which eases the pressure on him slightly. Granted the opposition are ranked 43rd in the world but you can only beat what’s in front of you and England did so -in an emphatic manner. Capello himself stuck to a distinctly rigid 4-4-2 despite many citing it restricts the side’s fluidity in attack and Rooney dropped deep behind Defoe to devastating effect.
The simple fact is despite Capello being tainted by this summer’s debacle, the scarcity of the FA’s options means there is nobody with sufficient pedigree to do any better.
Steven Gerrard launched an ardent defence of the national boss when he said:
“It is important Fabio is still given a chance,’ said Gerrard, in response to a suggestion that an Englishman should lead the national team.
“Who out there, that’s an English manager, has the C.V. Fabio Capello has got? It would be a knee-jerk reaction to sack a manager after one bad tournament, and then think everything will be rosy when you start with a new guy and we’ll go on and win the Euros. That’s crazy. It’s crazy to think it’s as easy as that. I wanted him to stay. I have a lot of belief in him.”
As Capello’s skipper, it is perhaps natural for him to rise to the Italian’s defence but his words do ring true. Ultimately, there is only so much Capello can do, for he is only as good as his playing squad and if they do not deliver his hands are tied.
Switzerland are likely to provide a sterner test than the one at Wembley on Friday evening particularly when you consider the Wayne Rooney sideshow that has being the main topic of choice in the lead up to the game.
Fabio Capello’s claim that “Words are not so important” when England are victorious may be justified once more.
