Coach Capello has used Lampard in a more disciplined holding role since he took charge of the team 15 months ago.

It has allowed Gerrard to do more of the attacking, although he was asked to play out of position on the left wing in his last international appearances, against Kazakhstan and Belarus, earlier this season.

Capello's predecessors, Sven-Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren, both struggled to come up with a way to utilise two of England's best players. But Lampard insists the Italian has changed England's midfield for the better.

He said: "The way Capello works is very authoritative. Other managers will sit you down and ask how this or that is going, whereas he will just tell us how we' re going to do it.

"I am playing a different role. It is much more of a holding position, while Steven has been asked to play more on the left, but to be fair it's worked.

"There had to be a re-jigging of the midfield because it wasn't working. I do want to get forward because that is my natural game but I will try to adapt."
