As a handful of England national team players find themselves in the headlines for the wrong reasons, manager Fabio Capello is starting to get annoyed with the situation.

The Italian tactician has had enough of the sagas involving John Terry and Ashley Cole and the emerging news of Rio Ferdinand being implicated in a similar situation and intends to take control of things when the squad meets near Watford on Sunday.

"The players have to understand what I want if they want to stay with me," warned Capello.

"That is very important because we need to create the group.

"The England shirt is very important and for me this will be one of the most important points that we speak about."

Capello added: "After a four-month break, we will meet the players next week for a very important game.

"Part of that is to talk about how important it is to behave well when you are representing England. I will talk to the players about this issue, it is very important.

"I will not tell you now what I will say. That is between me and the players. It is personal.

"But a lot of the things we talk about and do next week will be important because four months is a long time not to see them.

"If you can meet the players every month it is different. This has been a long time and we will have two days to spend together and they will be really strong days and I will let the players know my message for them."
