Fabio Capello is a man who knows what he’s talking about.
Current manager of England’s national football team, he’s won titles with Real Madrid, Juventus, Roma and Milan – and the Champions League to boot.
When England wanted the man to fix their woes… they called Fabio Capello.
So far, he’s delivered the goods, and he’s done it by making them all sit down at the dinner table together.
His take on the England squad?
Apparently it does young men no good to have too much money.
There’s a modern “hands off my life” mentality that says, “As long as I satisfy my obligations to you, you have no right to comment on my character. (Perhaps it’s not a modern mentality, maybe it’s always been around). From this perspective, it makes no sense for a football coach to be commenting on a player’s wealth.
But character doesn’t work like that. Character underlies everything we do.
It’s impossible for a football coach to not be concerned with character and the money that is ruining his players’ lives.
That is, if he wants a winning team.
Cheers, Fabio!
