England v Switzerland - Capello: "Il mio capitano è Stevie G!"

Listen - England v Switzerland - Capello: "Il mio capitano è Stevie G!"

It's the eve of a new era for England. Fabio Capello takes charge of his first match against Switzerland at Wembley with a nation expecting to see changes from Steve McClaren's ill-fated tenure.

The players have already spoke of the Italian's strict discipline levels and now the 61 year-old speaks at his first pre-match press conference announcing Steven Gerrard as stand-in captain for the tie. There will be no permanent announcement before the World Cup qualifying campaign kicks off according to Capello, speaking through an interpreter, but says the Liverpool midfielder is an extremely important player in his plans.
