Theo Walcott has denied falling out with England team boss Fabio Capello, despite Walcott's autobiography statement that the Italian was "cold and clinical".
There were rumours that Capello had been frustrated with Walcott's statements in his autobiography and considered dropping the winger to the bench against Bulgaria.
However, Walcott was quick to deny any problem with the coach.
"I didn’t have a clear-the-air meeting with the manager. I saw him in Italy. We had a laugh and joke about it," Walcott told Sky Sports.
"He said he preferred me as a footballer rather than a writer and laughed it off. He was great but I never thought it was going to be a problem anyway. He has been great to me. There are no hard feelings.
"I don’t find him intimidating at all. He is a very dedicated manager. He is very professional but he is more relaxed. He has given the freedom to players; he loves his golf as well."
