Coach Fabio Capello has announced that John Terry was reinstated indefinitely in the position of captain of England, considering that the loss of the armband for one year is enough punishment for the sex episode starring the quarterback and the girlfriend of the national colleague, Wayne Bridge.
"John was the team leader even when he didn't wear the armband, a leader both in the locker room, and on the ground. I was impressed by his attitude in these 12 months and he clearly is the player with the strongest personality.",said Capello. Coach added that the Terry option makes sense also because Rio Ferdinand or Steven Gerrard, who were also captains in the national team are injured.
Capello admitted though that Ferdinand said he was irritated that the decision to make Terry captain again.
"I went to Manchester to talk to him, but he avoided me. I wanted to talk to him face to face to explain the decision and not by phone. I hope he'll recover quickly, because we need a player with his experience, " said the Italian. Instead, the Liverpool midfielder said he has no problem with the armband's wearer , Gerrard wanting only to return as soon as the shipment.
