Fabio Capello hits back at Gary Lineker
FABIO Capello has hit back at Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker’s criticism of his ability to speak English.
Lineker believes the England boss struggles to put his points over to the players and the media because he has yet to really grasp the language.
But Capello said: “This thing about my English comes from what Lineker said. I think my English is much better than his Spanish!” The Italian was referring to the time when Lineker moved to Barcelona as a player and was never able to speak the lingo fluently.
Capello insisted: “I have no problems with my English. If I have to speak about politics I would have problems. But with football I haven’t got a problem. There have been no problems with the players.”
