In a shock interview for the Daily Mirror Jose Mourinho launched a stinging attack on Fabio Capello: “The problem is the manager. He has a one-track relationship with players.

He does not know the players. They are frightened of him and they can’t play for him. For me, it is a mess for England. Players need clear tactics. They cannot be confused about what they have to do. It is the manager’s fault. And it is a big shame.”
