Mourinho blames Fabio for England woes
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has claimed England will never win while under-fire boss Fabio Capello is in charge of the national side.[LNB] Capello today awoke to another wave of criticism in the tabloids, with the Sun branding him a "donkey", and Mourinho has added his voice to the onslaught.[LNB]"The problem is the manager," Mourinho said in the Daily Mirror. "Capello will not work for England."[LNB]Capello is one of Mourinho's numerous predecessors at Real Madrid, a club the Portuguese coach says still remembers his managerial flaws.[LNB]"He has a one-track relationship with players," he said. "Ask anyone here at Real Madrid. He can't change. You cannot go around just shouting at players. They need to feel special.[LNB]"It is clear. Capello will not work for England. He does not know the players. They are frightened of him and they can't play for him.[LNB]"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."[LNB]Capello is not the only manager to take a hit from Mourinho this morning, as he also laid into his successor at Inter Milan, Rafael Benitez, saying he left Liverpool further from challenging for the title than ever.[LNB]"It is very difficult for Roy (Hodgson) to do it with Liverpool as, over the last few years, they have been getting worse, worse and worse," Mourinho said in the Daily Telegraph.[LNB]"The Liverpool of 2004 was better than the Liverpool of 2005, 2005 was better than 2006 and 2006 better than 2007.[LNB]"And they arrive at a situation now where, but for Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Pepe Reina, Fernando Torres, if his head is there, it is very difficult for Roy to make Liverpool champions.[LNB]"He needs time and it's not easy because I don't think they went in the right direction."
