Fabio Capello – We respect Algeria
Capello – We respect Algeria
Posted: 2010-06-18 07:23
Fabio Capello says England will respect Algeria, saying it will be a "big mistake" to think it will be an easy game.
Speaking on the eve of England's second match of the Fifa World Cup against Algeria in Cape Town, the Italian said: "We respect Algeria because they are a dangerous team, especially on set pieces and counter attack. It will be a big mistake to think this game will be easy."
Journalists packed out the press conference room and as expected the Robert Green subject kept popping up.
Capello would not commit to answering whether or not Green would start against Algeria, but reading between the lines it seems he will show faith in the goalkeeper once more.
Asked if he thinks a player who makes a mistake deserves a second chance, Capello said: "Any man can make a mistake and I think the goalkeeper, defenders, strikers and midfielders made mistakes. But now I have to choose the value of the player for this match not on who made mistakes."
