After failing to qualify for Euro 2008 England are strolling towards South Africa 2010 and Gerrard says that is down to the FA appointing Capello.

"I think the manager could be the key to having a successful World Cup. He is one of those managers in that handful around the world who are the best," said the Reds captain.

"Managers who are that good can make the difference. I am so happy to have him here and it is a pleasure to work with him and his staff. They are focused, they are winners.

"If they can translate that into the team, and you listen and learn, I am confident we can do well."
