Fabio Capello Quotations

They did a very beautiful job. We hope we can play here too.

Every manager dreams of a job like this [the England job] and I will be sure to learn English within one month.

Like [George] Best, there is a special fantasia about him

We deserved to lose and it was a good result for us, considering the way we played in the second half.

There are some nights when everything goes your way and some when it doesn't, and this wasn't our game. I was most disappointed with our lack of aggression as that is normally one of our characteristics.

We are not ourselves anymore, we've lost a little something.

I'm glad for the equaled record. However, the final numbers really count.

For me, I always study the last games that have been played, not what happened in the past.

I'm happy with my language progress - the only difficulty when I tour Premier League matches is that different people talk to me in different accents - and sometimes I can hardly understand a word!

When I was a player, I'd have a pre-match meal of the biggest lump of fillet steak you could find, followed by rice pudding. Other times I'd have a steak and kidney pie. I'd finish the meal at 12.30 and be playing two-and-a-half hours later.
