John Terry has been named as England captain for Wednesday's international
friendly against the USA.
隊長特里會在星期三的對美國的友誼賽當上隊長
The Chelsea defender had been captain under former England boss Steve
McClaren but this is the first time he will lead his country under Fabio
Capello.
他已經在麥克拉倫的時候當過隊長了,但這是卡佩羅第一次用他
Capello has decided to rotate the captaincy around before naming a permanent
skipper for the World Cup qualifiers with Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand
both having the captain's armband in his first two games in charge.
Terry's appointment as captain will come as a massive boost to the player as
he tries to recover from the heartbreak of missing his penalty in the UEFA
Champions League shoot-out defeat to Manchester United last week.
Leader
And Capello has confirmed that he hopes the role will serve as a positive
distraction after last Wednesday's disappointment in Moscow.
The Italian said on Sky Sports News: "I made the decision before the UEFA
Champions League final. I think it is a good decision for John Terry after
last Wednesday.
"I saw him and he was very well. I told him he will be the captain and he was
very happy. It is very important to be a leader and John Terry is a leader.
"It is important for the Chelsea players to play for us so they can forget
the game in Moscow. They will all play some part."
