England can make it all the way to the final during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa according to coach Fabio Capello. England’s manager believes that his team has some of the best football players in the world, and with a little bit of luck on their side anything is possible.
“The best football players in the world are coming to South Africa, and I am proud to say that I have many such players in my team. I am very satisfied with England’s current squad, so why not winning the World Cup trophy this summer? Our goal is definitely to reach the final because we have a fantastic team. If my players are healthy we could beat any opponent,” said the Italian coach.
Fabio Capello also talks about the Calciopoli scandal, and says it was the main reason for him leaving Italy: “I wouldn’t be the coach of England right now if Calciopoli had never happened. I wouldn’t have left Italy to coach Real Madrid, and come to England right after. But it wasn’t a bad thing after all, it just proves that something negative can create something positive later on.”
Fabio Capello used to be the coach of Juventus in 2006, a team that was heavily implicated in a major Italian football scandal over a network of close relations between teams, managers and referees. Capello left Italy for Real Madrid where he stayed just one season. After 6 months without a job he moved to the UK and started working for the English national football team.
