Capello wants commitment

Fabio Capello has warned any player lacking the total commitment required to play for England to "stay at home".

Capello issued his message ahead of the end of season double-header with the United States at Wembley on May 28 and away to Trinidad and Tobago on June 1.

The England coach said: "If a player doesn't love to play for England then perhaps he should stay at home. Players must love the England shirt and that is all there is to it."

He added: "If someone doesn't want to come and play for England, it means they don't love the England shirt enough. Obviously, they must prefer to go on holiday."

Meanwhile, Capello has urged Wayne Rooney to relax his "obsession with scoring" if he is to become a prolific marksman for his country.

The Italian is a huge admirer of the Manchester United star and has tipped him to eventually become England captain.

But the former Real Madrid coach believes the one area Rooney has to improve is his finishing power and he will attempt to help him to keep cool in front of goal.

Capello said: "I have spoken to Rooney and technically he is very strong and good. What he needs to do is be more relaxed in front of goal.

"He has not got to have this obsession with scoring. It depends how relaxed and confident you are in front of goal.

"You can coach a player to be more relaxed by constant exercise in training until he is confident enough. A lot of training in front of the goal can help."
