Jamie Carragher believes Fabio Capello's proven track record gives England genuine hope of achieving World Cup glory this summer.[LNB] The Liverpool defender has returned to the international fold after a self-imposed three-year absence and was used as a second-half substitute against Mexico at Wembley on Monday.[LNB]Carragher has played under a host of different managers for club and country during his distinguished career.[LNB]But he knows that ultimately whether they are good, bad or indifferent will be decided by results - and he feels Capello's record should give cause for optimism in South Africa.[LNB]Carragher said: "Capello is a focused manager. He is that type of manager. It is difficult for me to say much because I have only been back with England a week.[LNB]"I don't think it is right to say 'one manager does this and it is right'. If you win, you are always right.[LNB]"Every manager has their own way of winning things, different England managers have their own ways, but the reason they become England manager is because they are very good managers.[LNB]"It is not that one way is right or one way is wrong - but this manager has his own style and it has proved successful over the years which is encouraging (for the World Cup)."[LNB]Carragher has had little problem in returning to the England fold after initially deciding to quit the international game following the friendly with Brazil at Wembley in June 2007.[LNB]He said: "The set-up is different in the sense of it is a different manager, and every manager has their own ideas and way of doing things, so that has changed.[LNB]"But in terms of the squad, the players, the backroom people, it is all the same and is always run very well, and always has been."
