It's not that he suddenly performed well, Nichols showed good strength at the club, but until today, Nichols didn't get the chance to perform in the national team, that's the reason why it's surprising."

Capello did not forget to satirize his predecessor. Capello actually looked down on McClane. His incompetence and stupidity directly caused England to miss this European Cup, and Capello lost the opportunity to perform.
