Capello returns to John Terry in the England captaincy

After several days of speculation the England head coach Fabio Capello has confirmed that 30-year-old defender Chelsea "meets punishment" and can be restored as a permanent captain of the national team.

Officially, his decision Capello has announced a day before the qualifying match for Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales, which will be held March 26 in Cardiff, but his statement during a press conference on Monday evening left no doubt that a year after the captain bandage with Terry has been selected, it will be returned to him again.
In the coming days Capello will go to Manchester, where he will meet with the current team captain Rio Ferdinand and vice-captain Steven Gerrard to explain to them the situation. And the main reason why Capello has made such a controversial decision - it's innate leadership qualities, Terry, as well as reluctance to ever pass the armband from one player to another.
"I think the one year sentence is enough to realize his mistake - he said Capello. - For this reason I want to make a decision. I do not need a captain for one game, I need a permanent captain. Before you announce your decision, I will talk to Terry and the other players, but the latest decision will be mine. "
The Rio was a captain, but my first captain was John Terry. Rio was a good captain, a good captain and was Steven Gerrard, but first I chose Terry, until he made a mistake. "
Error Terry - is, of course, his extramarital relationship with Vanessa Perronsel, common-law wife of his former teammate at Chelsea, and partner in the England Wayne Bridge, who was so upset by what happened that defiantly refused to shake Terry's hand before the match between Chelsea and Manchester City, and later announced the completion of an international career.
Then Capello felt that such behavior is unworthy of the national team captain England, but was only a year, and the Italian specialist miraculously changed their opinions, and pushed him to this event during the friendly match between Denmark and England in February, when in the first half, the captain was Frank Lampard, and after a break bandage first moved to Ashley Cole, and then to Gareth Barry.
"I did not like this situation in Copenhagen - said Capello. - Players are asked: Who is the captain? Where the bandage? "
"I do not think that I have so often talk about the captaincy, but I understand that in England it is really important. I decided after that I saw in Denmark, because what happened there helped me understand the importance of captaincy in England. "

However, Capello is concerned that may cause a split between the players, and therefore, before announcing its decision, wants to first talk with the players. Whatever it was, you had to be blind not to read between the lines of what I wanted to tell Capello, especially when he spoke of Ferdinand in the past tense.
It has already lost the captain's armband in his club and has played since February last year, only 4 out of 11 matches in the national team, defender of Manchester United, incidentally, is so upset by recent events, which, according to unofficial information, thinking about the conclusion of an international career - script, which Capello would like to avoid at all costs.
"Now the captain Rio, and I'm not saying that he is a bad captain. It was a fantastic captain and a very important player. But above all I want to know whether he is healthy. After that, I'll talk to him about his decision and explain what happened in Denmark, and that I think about it. "
"I would understand if he would be unhappy, but I am a manager, and I accept this decision. What others think, I worried a little. "
"I also think that John Terry is old enough to understand how important this role to be the captain of Chelsea and England captain and one of the most important players in the world."
