Capello warns WAGs World Cup in South Africa is no holiday | England coach Fabio Capello has laid down strict laws for WAGs, and is determined that team takes the World Cup in South Africa seriously. England's
last trip to the World Cup finals turned into a circus when the WAGs took over
the picturesque town of Baden Baden in Germany. There were parties every night
and the players were in almost daily contact with their loved ones. Capello insisted
that his stars will not go to the tournament for a holiday, and warned their wives
and girlfriends: "If you don't like it, don't come." Capello has ruled that his
current squad can have just one day with their partners and families after each
game next summer. And that will be the only socialising allowed. The 63-year-old
Italian, whose team qualified for the finals, said: "I hope this period that we
are at the World Cup will be very long. The players will have one day with their
family, with the girls and friends. It will be one day a week, after each game
and that is enough. That's it." Asked if there was any danger it could be like
Baden Baden, Capello replied: "No, absolutely not. Please. If they do not want
to come for the day, then they should stay home. I like what we've had at training
where the players stay together. We are going there to play, not for a holiday."
Stars like Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard have admitted the WAGs' presence affected
the team under Sven Goran Eriksson in the 2006 World Cup, where Portugal won their
quarterfinal on penalties, The Sun reports. Some of the WAGs have started planning
for South Africa, checking accommodation in Rustenburg, England's most likely
training base. |
