Former Chelsea defender Desailly: There are no concessions with Capello

He said: “It’s not a normal captain and coach relationship — it is more distant.

“He is really precise on asking the captain: ‘Look, I feel the group is not giving what I’m asking. Talk to your players.’ That’s the discussion, no more. There are no concessions with Capello.

“The players will have to watch their egos. He doesn’t give you any chance to fool around. He’ll shout, put them under pressure and show them nobody is indispensable.”
