Beckham set to equal England great
October 20, 2008
LA Galaxy player David Beckham looks set to win his 108th Cap in a friendly against Germany next month giving him the same number as Bobby Moore.
Beckham hasn’t started the last 4 competitive matches but he looks set to be handed a starting role in this match.
Capello said: “Beckham might have played five minutes against Belarus but, for the next game, it is possible he might play all the game.”
Although Capello hasn’t picked Beckham in his starting 11 in recent game she sees him as still a major part of the team.
“For the game against Spain, if he is not playing, he will not be in the squad,” Capello explained as the MLS will be in close season.
“He is good for the group. This is important. In fact, this is very important - his influence.
“He knows everything. He transmits confidence in the other players. This is very important for the group.
“I have to choose the first XI and at the moment I choose Theo Walcott and Shaun Wright-Phillips who are playing well.”
“It is frustrating to now have six months without a competitive game but we knew this.
“We have been lucky because we have played two games twice. Some have only played three matches.
“We have to wait a lot now. At the moment we are in very good physical condition because we always play better in the second half of games because the other teams play strong and press a lot.
“In the last 20 minutes, they are competed out and we are strong. Whether we will be the same physical condition in April, I don’t know.”
