Capello names Gerrard as captain

[Clowgon]

New England manager Fabio Capello has made Steven Gerrard his captain for Wednesday's friendly against Switzerland, his first match in charge.

The Liverpool midfielder steps into the role until Capello has had more time to decide on a permanent skipper, with previous incumbent John Terry injured. Capello said: "Gerrard is important because he can pass on things, transmit things and inspire the players. I think we need somonr like
stevie to lead the players. Rio whould be great too:P

You have to be able to captain your league team before you can captain your national one. Well at least that's what I think.

I knew that was coming.

If you've ever seen Rio de Janerio Ferdinand in playing in a game, and I mean, REALLY watched him then you'll know he has leadership skills. You have to be at least good to be a captain and Gerrard is pathetic for England.

Gerrard deserves to be captain.
