i agree with the rio decision, captaincy these days has changed , no longer do you need it to be the player who wears his heart on his sleeve or the player who makes that crunching tackle to get the players pumping , for example , bryan robson , he wouldnt last 5 mins on a pitch these days , therefor , todays captain needs to be calm n cool and looked upon with respect fro his on and off field actions .. rio is the man , ok he messed up with the missed drugs test. but this made him a better person. plus lets face it , john terry has people breathing down his neck to partner rio , for me terry can be dodgy , he gets caught out many times . so the obvious choice is your first choice defender..... goodluck to rio
