Prestige Network, the Berkshire based language services company, has offered Fabio Capello the services of one of its Italian/English interpreters for tomorrow evening’s England game at Wembley.
Colin Dudley, Business Development Manager, said: "The 2010 World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine is an important match and the team here at Prestige Network are keen football fans. Providing an interpreter for Fabio Capello’s pre-match or half-time pep talk is the least we can do."
Colin went on to say: "Fabio is doing an excellent job and we all want the England team to continue to do well under his management - sending an interpreter along to help communicate any last minute stratagems in face of the Ukraine team will be our contribution to the side."
The Ukraine team is ranked 14th in the world and is undefeated in Group Six, so might be the most challenging game the England squad has faced so far in the qualifiers. The match kicks off at 8.00pm on Wednesday 1 April.
Whereas the team at Prestige Network may not always agree with the team line-up - they have a soft spot for Theo Walcott who grew up in the area around Thatcham where the company is based - they have a long-standing interest in football.
The company offered Jose Mourinho a job back in 2007 after he left Chelsea - they found out he had worked as an interpreter for Bobby Robson, the former England manager, in 1992 before he took on various coaching positions.
