Rooney’s low down on Capello

Wayne Rooney has revealed the incredible attention to detail displayed by England boss Fabio Capello and also how he can get physical with his players if they do not deliver on the pitch. Admitting that he was initially not keen on a foreigner managing England, Rooney says he quickly warmed to the ways of the Italian. “His attention to detail is just unbelievable. He once made the whole squad watch a half-hour tape of Glen Johnson doing a bad job of taking throw-ins,” said Rooney. “The players couldn’t believe it. But that’s how he works. He has his own ideas about what players should do and he leaves absolutely nothing to chance.” And if you do not display the same level of commitment? “There have been times during training sessions when he has physically grabbed players and placed them into the positions he wants them to occupy,” added Rooney.
