For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends.
Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson is the first-ever foreign coach of the England national soccer team. He was fairly successful (losing 15% of games in charge) but following a major public outcry, the English FA returned to its English roots by hiring Englishman Steve McClaren, which proved to be a huge fiasco.He bombed out horribly, prompting the FA to once again outsource the vacant post to a foreigner this time to Italian Fabio Capello.He signed a 4.5-year contract worth £6m per year, making Capello the highest paid national manager in the world. Is this sheer lunacy?Its an honor, amused Capello.Considering that Capello, despite being successful at club level both as a player and coach, has absolutely no experience of the English game. In addition, he has never coached a national side and barely speaks English.Naturally, there was another public uproar as Capello held his first media conference mainly in Italian on English soil. But English pride aside, the fact remains that Englishmen coaches have not achieved a lot for the team since Alf Ramsay won the 1966 World Cup under controversial circumstances.Since then, England have not even reached a final of any major tournament it featured in.Its such a crying shame for the national team knowing that at club level, the EPL is financially unbeatable and in fact, the last three Champions League finals each featured one EPL team.The 61-year-old Italian, who officially starts on Jan 7, was tasked to lead England to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.Interestingly, before coming to London, Capello spoke on Italian TV, The England team seems to have lost the determination and grit that they had in the past.But to restore the English pride and confidence is no easy task, considering that Capello speaks little English. How will his instructions be communicated effectively remains to be seen.I am convinced that, in a month (by Jan 7), when I meet the national team, Ill speak English, enthused Capello.Personally, I am convinced that his limited English is an asset rather than a liability. For one itll instill a quirky sense of insecurity and competition among the senior England players, many of whom have been taking things for granted. Capello is never one who fears dropping those who are out-of-form and of course, the prima donnas.I expect Capello to be very hard on the players, said Marcel Desailly, who once played under him at AC Milan.In addition, Capello is able to start on a clean sheet, knowing that he will not feel the strenuous weight of the nation as much as an Englishman would. Truly, it leaves me little doubt that if theres one man to bring honor to England, it would be an Italian.
