http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=632194 Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry feels that he and Manchester United man Owen Hargreaves are different enough in style to be able to offer Fabio Capello's England something good together...
Barry revealed that he and Hargreaves had been able to co-operate together before, and that they can do so again.
The 27-year-old told The Daily Mail, "I've been in a few under-21 squads with Owen years back and this year when he's been in the England squad.
"You get compared to any player who plays in your certain position.
"I don't think we are similar players. We play in the same sort of position - or that's where the England manager sees us - but we can both do different jobs and I'm sure we can play together too."
Experience
Although Barry debuted for the Three Lions almost a decade ago, he admitted that the experience of playing under a new manager unnerved him.
But the Aston Villa captain added that the experience of facing Switzerland under new boss Fabio Capello helped to settle his nerves.
He said, "The last time around I was pretty nervous with it being a new manager because they always have different ideas from a previous regime.
"But once you're in, it settles you down and I was pretty confident I would get back in this squad.
"At the same time you can never rest on your laurels and you should never presume it's going to happen."
Beckham
With media attention turning towards Beckham's 010th cap, he added, "A lot of the headlines building up to the game will be about David Beckham but on certain occasions like this, Beckham winning his 100th cap deserves the headlines.
"It's not often that a player achieves something like that and anyone being a part of it will be proud to be there when he gets to the milestone.
"Captaincy? There's been a lot of speculation and the manager may want to try a few different captains. I'm not really that bothered about it.
"You can name so many players who are candidates or who have got a possibility. I'm not going to choose anyone.
"A number of the squad are captains at their club and who do the job well so it would be unfair to just single one out.
"There are also players in there that have captained their country before.
"I've not thought about it at all really. I'm sure anyone who turns down an England captaincy would be foolish."
