"Because of his movement, his passion and leadership on the pitch, he is very similar to Raul. When I started at Madrid for the first time, Raul was 19. He was very young but he was already a leader on the field. Can Rooney be England captain? Why not? But you have to wait. Now we have a good captain in John Terry. I remember when Sir Alex Ferguson bought Rooney … and he said 'Fabio, I am crazy, I have just spent an awful lot of money on a very young player'.' But now he is happy because he has spent a lot of money on a very important player." England coach Fabio Capello, heaping praise on 23-year-old, "Shrek"-faced striker Wayne Rooney, who he feels can lead both the Red Devils and the Three Lions to success over the coming years.
