I am not Capello's biggest fan as many people would attest to but our criticism of the guy is the past does not justify what he is doing or not doing at Milan. He played Raul throughout even when he was awful something he did not do with Dp. He did not really play the ronaldo, rvn combo often like i thought he was going to. 2 big men and all that. He started off with diarra and emrson but ditched that idea after a while. No his style is still aneamic but give him some praise, he is playing robinho, reyes, torres, ramos, higuain, gago , at the same time with de la red coming on as well, players not above 22, thats something we kept on criticising him for at Juve. When he was at Juve, his purchases , were they all his choices or was someone else making them?
And believe me , it is not easy being at Madrid as manager, with the likes of Ronaldo in one clique and Raul in the other not speaking to eachother. I rememeber at the wc when France played Spain, the looks that Raul was giving Zidane when they were coming onto the pitch, and i was thinking but these guys are team mates, not a smile at all from Raul. Not to mention the indiscipline of Cassano and Diarra were showing towards the manager.
Speaking of Cassano, in Spain, he looked like the most overrated player ever, slow, his skills were basic nothing special which the average spanish player does not have
As for Ronaldo, I am sorry, you cannot have a player who does not work hard at all and just wants to score goals, and not push his weight(no pun intended) around. He is overweight and i would hate to think he is living on past glories.
Nope Capello is not the best man to try and get along with, but as a manager , i think he is doing a great job. i do not think he is a good coach at all, as tactically he is just a mess, but when it comes to managing, like ferguson, he can manage players
