Premier League To 'Fix' League Fixtures For Capello!

Last updated : 23 March 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

So, obviously they put the infamous 'Top Four' above the rest of the Premiership, giving them senior status!

Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea will not play each other before an England fixture.

Capello: "This is a friendly. Having said that I'm not ecstatic, not happy about it. Some of the players I will not be able to train as I would like to.

"In England players play a high number of games and all of them at a very high intensity.

"At the end of the season players cannot be fresh. Club managers are there to win so they have to keep the intensity high and I get the players in the condition they are given to me by the clubs.

"We have two teams in the last eight in the Champions League who have [many] English players, Chelsea and Manchester United.

"We only have one Arsenal player and two Liverpool players. We have some important players in English teams who play very well but they are supported by foreign nationals who help them perform very well.

"It is a problem being debated in Italy as well."
