England Warning

Fabio Capello has reiterated his fear that the England team may suffer from the pressure of expectation at Wembley
Fabio Capello has warned England's players against over-confidence after the 4-1 win in Croatia and urged them to re-establish Wembley as a stronghold. He said recently that the pressure of playing at the stadium had hampered his players but Saturday's visit of Kazakhstan is an opportunity to thrive there.

"Ahead of the previous games I said playing away from Wembley was helpful," writes Capello in the official program for Saturday's game. "I said this because there is often less pressure away. With 90,000 fans at home there is great expectancy. Now we have some of that crucial confidence back it will be easier for the players to perform to the best of their ability here."
