Capello saw plenty of positives, however. “As I told the players, I am very happy with what they did because we made progress compared with the Switzerland game,” he said, referring to England’s 2-1 victory over the Swiss at Wembley last month.

“I am happy because I saw some very good things, especially because we played against a top level team and we showed our value. I am happy because I made the team play two different ways and I could see many players.”
