make somebody captain 让某人当队长
Ronaldo was named the national team captain
for the first time in a friendly match against Brazil on February 6,
2007,
a day after his 22nd birthday.
This move was in honor of Carlos Silva,
the Portuguese Football Federation president
who had died two days before.
Scolari explained, "Mr. Silva asked me to make him captain as a
gesture.
He thought the English fans would give him a difficult time
and this was a response.
He is too young to be a captain,
but Mr. Silva asked me, and now he is no longer with us."
