Sometimes you need to leave out great players who can’t work with those in their long shadows.”</p> Lippi was himself in the frame for the England job, but he has always been reluctant to work abroad. He recently turned down an ofer to manage Birmingham City.</p> Lippi had a warning for Capello - that he may struggle if he cannot achieve his objecive of learning English within two months.</p> “The fact that you need to speak English is one of the reasons that made me turn down three or four offers from clubs there,” he explained.</p> “I have always said that a boss must try and speak to his players from the heart and to do that via a translator is impossible.”</p> </div></p>
