Lets analyze some of Capello's post-match comments, shall we?
“Today I realised I have a remarkably strong squad, as we conceded a goal when Milan weren’t doing any damage at all,” he said after the 3-1 defeat at the San Siro. “
Hmm, now that doesn't really make a lot of sense, does it? While we let in a goal, it finally occured to Capello that we have a remarkably strong squad, as if nobody has pointed that out to him before. Not to mention the statement is rather contradictory.
“I don’t think our goalkeeper was particularly tested, as the only real chances went into the net. I told the lads that they are a really strong outfit. We knew Milan were good, but the 3-1 result was too harsh considering the overall performances of the two teams.”
How can he sit back there and make a comment such as this? Was he even watching the match last night? I mean come on, Milan could have easily scored another and we looked absolutely miserable throughout most of the match...the result was not harsh at all Capello, and I think you should stop babying our performances and stop trying to avoid the real questions.
So Capello tells our team they are a strong outfit at halftime or after the match? Is that the only cutting-edge advice he can give our side? Why not just hand out goody bags to the squad after the match?
"Good luck"
Oh, we have certainly heard this one before...avoiding the real questions and problems and continuing on like absolutely nothing is wrong with the side. Lets just wait for lady luck to give us a helping hand so we don't ever have to change tactics and player personel choices...what a fantastic attitude. These statements easily reflect Capello's complacent mentality.
