Hupu September 30th News Italian coach Fabio Capello accepted a long interview when participating in the podcast program "Supernova". He talks about anecdotes, interesting stories and football hot topics. The former coach and current commentator talked about a number of stars, including Casador, Seedorf, Ronaldo, Beckham and Rooney. The following is the second half of his interview.

Talk about Casano and Sidorf

"One time I was talking during the break, setting up the second half. Everyone sat quietly and listened, but when I finished speaking, Sidorf stood up and said, 'No, I would do this, this and this. ' So I took off my coat and handed it to him, and said, 'You have another coach, 'I left the locker room. He was only 18 years old at the time, and I brought him from Sampdoria. Casano was a unique player, a real genius. If he had been more focused at the time, he could have achieved higher achievements than he is now. He was such a person, and creativity could not be taken away by others. "

Talk about Ronaldo and Beckham

"The best players I have coached are absolutely It was Ronaldo. But I had to let him go because I thought it would be possible to win the league. He had a negative impact on the locker room, always having a party, he weighed 94 kg, and he was only 84 kg when he won the World Cup. I told him he had to lose weight, but to no avail. He was harmful to the team at that time because he took everyone off. I had him and Van Nistruei, but we lost three games. And Beckham, when his contract was about to expire, Real Madrid offered him a renewal, but he hoped to go to the LA Galaxy, the president asked me to ban him, but a week later I said I would let him back on the team and he could help us win the championship. "

The saliva with Rooney

Rooney had said Capello was not very good in English and the coaching staff was too Italian. "That was a response to my words. I said at the time that Rooney did not meet our expectations in the South Africa World Cup. He encountered problems like his wife-mistress, some gossip and off-field factors affected his status."

Gerard is not compatible with Lampard

"Yes, they are both players who can win games for you, but they both play the same position. We sent them both on the court, and I asked one of them to pull the side a little bit. But they are two centre-fronters who like to get ahead and they are a bit inadequate when there is a need to defend to maintain tactical balance. Although Gerrard has understood that it might be better to put him in front of the defense line. They are two players you can't rule out because they have the strength, but it's a bit difficult to do on the tactical level. Both of them are excellent, that's for sure. "

Modern football is eager to make stars

"Worldwide, they let 18-year-olds play, for example, when I arrived at Real Madrid, I activated an 18-year-old and made him the main force , that is Seidov. In my opinion, there is no young player with enough strength to play in the game when the Serie A level is no longer the same, it is really incredible that there will be no young player with enough strength to play. "

Memories in Milan

"It was a war machine. An Italian team with some players who grew up in youth training, so they have Milan's blood in their bones and a red and black heart. Milan will look for the right players in the transfer market, not be willful and always strive to find the right person for the lineup. There is a gentleman there, Galliani, who is in charge of everything, and then Braida, who is the only person I trust in on the player issue. I said: 'I don't care what others say. If Braida tells me that that person is suitable for Milan, then he is suitable for Milan".

"Of course, some people still haven't met expectations, for example, we introduced the Golden Globe winner Papan, but he became a substitute. He understands that others are stronger, he is not good at playing tricks. That team...Maldini, Costa Cuta, Baresi, and Tasotti who also came to the team at the age of 18, and then Albertini. Newcomers will understand that these people are the soul of the team, and sometimes foreign coaches come to the training, and they are all stunned. They say: 'What's going on? Everyone is ready, everyone arrives on time, everyone is training hard, no one is late? 'Yes, why be late? That's a great team. '
