Our forecasts about certain leaving of group D of English National Team seem to be corrected. For some time past a strange behavior and not less strange statements of Englishmen's coach Fabio Capello prove his lack of self-confidence and confidence in his team. And if ordinary football votaries like us notice such things, the British team should be disappointed with the non-optimistic humor of their coach. Considering the importance of psychologic comfort and good vibes inside the team for the win, the prospects of the team of "Three Lions" look delusive even now.
When a coach feels bored
What claims signor Capello did for the last week! Firstly, he recognized the Spanish team as a favourite of coming Euro 2012, noting that nobody can stop "Barcelona" and the national team composed of its players. But don't the football itself and the European championship in particular exist to demonstrate the victory of spirit over strength and proficiency?
Secondly, Fabio Capello continues to remind, that he is going to leave the English national team just after the finish of Euro 2012 - regardless of the tournament results. At the same time, he has no certain plans for his future: maybe he wants to work in club football, or maybe he is going to become a commentator or something. In fact, the mentor of the British informs regularly that he is bored in England's national team. So how should the football players get their fight spirit then?!
By the way, there are talks in print media about possibility of the current coach of "Real Madrid" Jose Mourinho to succeed Fabio Capello at the helm of English national team. Though, football fans interpret these talks sceptically: they say that Mourinho, who needs constant action and progress, full control of the situation and closer attention to his personality, will be bored to death - the national team gathers only for a couple of days every two or three months.
Head and shoulders above all
The German are head and shoulders above the Englishmen and all the others in their football patriotism and optimism! For them their national team is always either "a young and high-potential", or represents "a golden generation of German football", or "has a tremendous experience". And whoever is asked - from the masseur of FC "Bayern Munich" to the Head of The German Football Association - everyone repeats: the Germany is a favorite.
The President of FC "Bayern Munich" Uli Hoeness the other day noted modestly, that the «bundesteam» now is on the same level as the national team of Spain. To the opinion of the former German football star, within the next few championships - until the "golden generation" will leave - the Germany will have the supreme chances to win. Obviously, this refers not only to Euro 2012, but also to the championship of 2014, which will take place in Brazil - on the territory of "ball wizards"!
The Frenchmen - rivals of the Englishmen - also keep in every way the atmosphere of unity and mutual understanding in their national team. This week the President of the French Football Federation Noel Le Graet informed that the contract with the national team coach Laurent Blanc will be prolonged - whatever the results during Euro 2012 the team will show.
