Argentina and Brazil, the teams to beat for Capello
May 28th, 2010 - 6:15 pm ICT by ANILondon, May 28(ANI): England manager Fabio Capello has admitted that Argentina and Brazil are the teams that he fears most in next month’s World Cup in South Africa.
“I’m wary of Argentina. They are probably the team with the most talented players, while Brazil is the most compact and solid team. Their style is very little Brazilian and very much European,” The Mirror quoted Capello, as saying.
Among other teams Capello said that most of the European squads are strong, and capable of giving tough competition.
“Spain is the European champions, a team that can play really well. They’ve been together for ages, haven’t lost for ages, they are a real danger. As for the other Europeans, don’t forget that Italy are the world champions,” Capello said.
“Nobody seems to take Germany into account, but they have played the most finals, and always finish in the top four. Another team one should consider is Holland, with some very good players,” he added.
The 63-year-old further reiterated his prediction, and said that there could be an African surprise in the tournament. (ANI)
