Steven Gerrard has revealed Fabio Capello spoke to him about the England captaincy – even if he ignored deposed skipper Rio Ferdinand.<\/p>\n

The Italian has come under criticism after performing a U-turn and handing the armband back to John Terry, having previously stripped him of the job for his off-field behaviour.<\/p>\n

Capello did not speak to Ferdinand about his decision despite being at Old Trafford for Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League game with Marseille earlier this month.<\/p>\n

But Gerrard, who is the vice-captain, told Goals on Sunday that the England coach called him to explain the situation, even though he was not part of the squad for the Wales game.<\/p>\n

“I did actually get a call,” revealed the Liverpool midfielder. “The manager spoke to me. He spoke to me and just explained what he’d been doing – he didn’t have to.<\/p>\n

“The manager’s paid to make big decisions and he’s made the decision and I think we all have to respect it and move on.”
Respect<\/p>\n

Gerrard, who captained England at the 2010 World Cup, also gave his backing to Terry, even though he had some sympathy for Ferdinand.<\/p>\n

But he also insisted the England players were fully behind Capello’s decision and called for a line to be drawn under the whole incident.<\/p>\n

“The captaincy’s very important and I’m really pleased for John that he’s got it back because I know what it means to him,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I know he’s been frustrated since he lost it.<\/p>\n

“We have to all respect the manager’s decision. The good thing is that we went on and won the game and played well.<\/p>\n

“We can all move on from the captaincy thing now. Everyone’s obviously upset for Rio because he hasn’t done anything wrong to lose it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
