Venables sceptical over Baldini remarks

Former England manager Terry Venables has cast doubt on whether Fabio Capello and his backroom team can improve the technique of national team players in the short time they spend together.

England general manager Franco Baldini claims the players need to work on their technique and find a way to transfer their club form to the international stage, but Venables, who also served as assistant manager to Capello’s predecessor Steve McClaren, insists that cannot realistically happen during the training sessions before international matches.
