Capello: Beckham always plays well

England manager Fabio Capello loves the fact that veteran midfielder David Beckham always plays well no matter the situation. The 35-year old LA Galaxy star came on in the 58th minute of England's 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Belarus on Wednesday night and performed brilliantly.

Capello said it doesn't matter when Beckham comes on because he will always produce for the team.

"When he plays the last 20 minutes, for 50 minutes, half an hour, from half-time .. he's always played well and been focused," the Italian said.

"Sometimes some players when they're substitutes have problems playing normally. Beckham always plays well."
