England boss Fabio Capello is impressed with Aston Villa midfielder James Milner after showing a good performance during England’s game against Brazil, where he had to face Brazil’s Maicon, according to The Daily Mail.

“James Milner is improving, Maicon is one of the best right-backs in the world. He is very fast. He is a good defender and when he goes forward he is really dangerous, but Milner played well. He is a good player too.” Capello said.

Milner has featured at right-back and left-back as well in midfield for England in recent games. His good performance so far could well see him seal a place on the plane to South Africa next summer.
