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.
