Fabio Capello: “Steven Gerrard is really dangerous when he gets close to box”

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 05:03:14 +0000

Fabio Capello is planning to give Steven Gerrard an attacking role instead of keeping Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard combination at the heart of England’s midfield.

In recent run to world cup warm-ups and run to the world cup Capello has used Gerrard in a more advanced role, allowing him to interchange with Wayne Rooney at front rather than staying back in partnership with Lampard.

Capellod said: “Steven is really dangerous when he gets close to the box. If he has to play in the same position as the other midfielders he is good, but he is too far from the box. He has to get between two lines, the back four and the midfield. That is where you go to shoot”.

“I am lucky because his performance level is always high, but while I like to go forward you always need a holding player in front of the back four”.

“Twice against Mexico they got the ball in front of the goal. This position is really important.”

With Gareth Barry’s participation at the World Cup hanging in the balance and Lampard given the night off, Capello was forced to drag Gerrard back during Monday night’s 3-1 win over Mexico at Wembley.

England vice-captain and worlds best mid-fielder Steven Gerrard says England are desperate to win the World Cup this year in South Africa. Gerrard believes that backing from the travelling fans out in South Africa will significantly boost their glory.

Gerrard has admitted that when the Three Lions receive the full backing of the England fans it can be a major boost to their chances but if they get on their backs then it can have the opposite effect.

Gerrard said: “The fans see that we’re working really hard to improve and we’re desperate to achieve something for them. That is what we do it for. It would be fantastic if we could send them home from South Africa really happy and really proud of the team.”

Gerrard continued: “I’ve played in situations where the fans haven’t been behind the team and it’s difficult. It affects performance and individuals and it’s not helpful.”

“But on the other hand, I’ve played in front of a packed Wembley when the fans are roaring us on to victory and it’s a massive help. If we can get that kind of support in the World Cup, it could be key for us in getting over this quarter-final hurdle and going further.”

Newly appointed England’s captain inspiring Steven Gerrard believes that Fabio Capello has been successful in transforming England into a confident side who can beat any team in the world.

Speaking to News of the World, Gerrard said: “I can certainly say I experienced fear when I went out to perform. The pressure from supporters always transmitted itself on to the pitch. It’s always an honour to wear an England shirt but you only had to see some of the performances, myself included, to see it could also be a burden.”

“There was a lot of fear out there, it was difficult to play and we made hard work out of the fixtures we should have won. Fabio Capello has got rid of all that. The shackles are off and we play without fear now.”

Gerrard added: “He has given me some freedom on the left to go and express myself. He has helped me positionally and tactically too. The main thing I’ve noticed now is that when I go out there I really believe in myself. The fear has gone.”

While camparing Fabio Capello and Rafa Benitez, Gerrard said: “He was very similar to Rafa when he arrived at Liverpool. Capello is really good for players, he helps you individually”.

“He’s not the type of character who will be cracking jokes and having you in fits of laughter. But you don’t want that from the England manager, you want the best football man, the man who is going to improve both you personally and the team.

“When you listen to him talk tactics you know straight away that you’re going to be playing in a good team. Fabio is one of the best managers because he can give you that belief, which you can see in how we play for him. We’re playing some nice football, everyone is enjoying themselves and we’ve got smiles on our faces. The manager has brought that out in us.”

It all happened really fast in 2006 and I felt after the penalties that I should have taken my time more.”
