The knockout-stage bracket was released: England vs Greece. A reporter then asked how he would assess opposing goalkeeper Navas's godlike performance.
Capello displayed the grace of a top-class manager, showing his opponent the utmost respect.
"Navas's performance tonight was simply unbelievable..."
"If not for his extraordinary display, we would have scored more goals."
"He is an exceptionally gifted young goalkeeper, and he will undoubtedly reach the very top of the world stage in the future."
When discussing the team's overall journey of winning all three group matches to advance, Capello's expression turned solemn.
"Every match in the Group of Death was a hellish test."
"We experienced last-minute comebacks, long spells without scoring, and the most intense tug-of-war between attack and defense."
"Advancing with a perfect record was a dual victory of the entire team's willpower and sheer strength."
Finally, when asked about preparations for the knockout stage, Capello remained clear-headed and cautious.
"Group leader is only a temporary honor. There is nothing to be proud of."
"The real tough battles begin in the first round of the knockout stage."
"Next, we will focus on resting and restoring the players' depleted fitness."
"We will formulate tailored tactical plans for potential knockout opponents."
"England's goal has never been merely to qualify for the group stage, but to reach a higher stage."
As his brief yet forceful remarks ended, the reporters throughout the room applauded.
