Who shall be the next England captain? Steven Gerrard wants the armband. He said: “Every England player wants to captain his country. It’s every player’s dream from a young age. Then you say ‘Yes of course’.”
As for David Beckham, he is a former captain who is now dispatched to the wilderness of Major League Soccer, but still keeping himself in the limelight by training with Arsenal players. He should be in contention too.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes new England boss Fabio Capello would be wrong to deny David Beckham his 100th international cap. Beckham has had his differences with both Ferguson and Capello in the past.
But Ferguson does not want a player of Beckham’s stature to be left stranded on 99 caps. “To deny him his 100th cap would not be right and I think Fabio Capello has made up his mind about that,” Ferguson said. “In fact, I don’t think there is any doubt about that.”
Frank Lampard has lauded praises on Capello and maybe fancies a shot at being skipper. Now Rio Ferdinand has also received a vote of confidence from his gaffer.
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson believes Rio Ferdinand can be the next captain of England. He said: “Rio has captained us a few times this season and experience is important in that role. He wouldn’t have captained my side if he wasn’t capable of captaining England. Rio has more than 50 caps. John Terry has the position but if it happens, I think he will be happy.”
If Capello listen to all these people, there will be a bunch of generals out there and no soldiers to fight the war.
