Fabio will allow Wayne to be his 'crazy guy' .....?
This is what Fabio Capello will do about Wayne Rooney the next time England meet
up. Nothing. Nothing different, anyway.
Nothing that takes him to task for his tackle on Alexander Aliev of Ukraine, nothing that makes him feel that he must change the way he plays for England, nothing that will risk harnessing the spectacular, free talent that his coach (and a growing band of
disciples) feel may win England the World Cup in South Africa.
There are some players a manager must go with for all their faults or discard, and Rooney falls into this category. Capello is not a fool. He can see the danger, he will know that a reckless challenge like the one against Aliev, even though Rooney won the ball, could be interpreted harshly in tournament conditions and attract a red card
and, in that moment, England’s hopes would go with him.
Yet what is Capello to do? If the message to Rooney is that his temperament could lead to his absence and jeopardise England’s hopes, then leaving him out is not an
option.
