Rules and respect are the buzz words
as Capello seeks winning mentality
Richard Williams
February 6, 2008
native tongue were given headphones. “I will
speak English with you when I am sure that I
know all the terms and all the right words,” he
said. “You are good at twisting things, so I want
to be very careful. But with the players I can
explain and communicate in English and I’m
happy about that.”
1
At Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid the players
called Fabio Capello ‘Mister’, the name given
to generations of managers in Italy and Spain
by British football coaches around the world. In
England, however, he will have another title. The
players can call him ‘Boss’, Capello said.
8
Capello’s objective is to create a strong team
in time for the irst World Cup qualifying game
against Andorra in September. In the meantime,
he will be watching videos of each England
match and talking about them with the players.
2
The England football team will have to do
exactly what the Italian says. And that means no
computer games, no having breakfast whenever
they feel like it, and absolutely no golf before
international football matches.

“We’ve worked very hard on tactics for the last
few days in order to create a group mentality and
a different way of moving on the pitch,” he said.
“I’ve seen some English clubs move on the pitch
in the way I want my team to move. So for some
players it won’t be anything new. Others who
aren’t used to moving this way will have to learn.”
3
At a press conference Capello explained the
need for strict rules. “After the match they
can play all the golf they like,” he said with a
serious smile.
10
Psychologically, his main task will be to restore
the players’ self-conidence which was lost when
the England team failed to qualify for Euro 2008.
But that, as he said, is not an overnight job.
4
“We are only together for a short time,” he
said, “and in that time we need to ind a way
of working. To do that you need rules. Eating
together and getting up from the table at the
same time and being punctual – these things
are about respect for other people and for each
other. We don’t have a long time to create
a group mentality, so it’s important to spend
time together.”
11
“I want the team to regain their winning mentality
by being conident and by playing bravely. I
believe we need to leave the past behind. We
need to look ahead positively. But we can’t
perform miracles. We’ve only just started our
work. Give us time to show what we can do.”
5
Capello said: “Compared to football clubs, we
don’t have many days together. Therefore we
need strict rules. If we follow those rules, we’ll
create a speciic winning mentality, which is
what I want.”
12
So, after a month in England, what was his
view of England’s players? “I think players are
the same everywhere,” he concluded. “My irst
impressions of these players are very good and I
believe we will be able to do very well.”
6
He said: “People make mistakes but, if they want
to be part of this group, they will follow the rules.
If someone doesn’t, then we will look at why the
rules were broken and do something about it.”
