Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard admits he spoke with England coach Fabio Capello about the Three Lions captaincy.
Gerrard has revealed Capello spoke to him regarding his change of captain, despite not informing Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand of the decision.
He said: "I did actually get a call. The manager spoke to me.
"He spoke to me and just explained what he'd been doing; he didn't have to. The manager's paid to make big decisions and he's made the decision and I think we all have to respect it and move on."
