906 The New Captain of the Three Lions

The Sun decided to publish an article about the tension between Twain and Wood to gain an advantage in the increasingly competitive news industry.

On the other hand, the media outlets associated with Stamford Bridge were much more concerned about whether their player, John Terry, would be able to retain his captaincy on the England national team.

Usually, every new national team manager would announce who the captain for the team was after all the national team players had gathered. Some managers would choose to go with the player who was named captain in the previous year as a way of stabilizing the team, but there were quite a few managers who had selected another player whom they thought are more suitable or whom they had a preference for as the new captain of the team.

After Beckham left the national team, Terry was named captain of the England national team, and Gerrard was named as the vice-captain.
