Fabio Capello is an authoritarian who doesn't listen to anyone else's opinion, Russia midfielder Andrei Arshavin said of the national football team's new coach


Capello's reign started Wednesday with a 1-1 home friendly draw with the Ivory Coast, with Max Gradel cancelling out Alan Dzagoev's opener.

"With Capello I like that he doesn't listen to anyone and relies only on his own opinion," Arshavin said Wednesday.

The ex-England and Real Madrid coach has also changed Russia's style. "As you see, we don't trace out squares any more, we play a bit differently," Arshavin added.
