England boss Fabio Capello admits he?d love to clone Liverpool FC?s Steven Gerrard
THE KOP has a famous song about a Liverpool team containing 11 'Jamie Carraghers' but Fabio Capello admits he'd like to clone the defender's Anfield team-mate Steven Gerrard.
In the absence of a cloning machine, Fabio Capello will hand Ashley Young a chance to impress for England in their friendly with Holland tomorrow.
If Capello's dreams were to become reality, he would simply have replaced Steven Gerrard with an exact replica when the Liverpool skipper pulled out with a minor groin injury.
Real life is not so simple, which is why Young will get another chance to face top quality opposition in the Amsterdam Arena after failing to impress against Germany last November.
The Aston Villa man has been picked since becoming the only negative point from an otherwise memorable evening in Berlin.
But since Andorra provided the opposition in a six-goal rout in June, that doesn't really count.
'I cannot clone Stevie,' observed the Italian.
'Every player has a different style and Ashley Young is really important because he is one of the English players who can dribble and take people on one-on-one.
'He has only played twice for me. The first time it was so-so. The second he played very well.
'Now he needs the confidence to perform against one of the best national sides in the world.'
