Soccer World: Capello pleased with England's double win

England manager Fabio Capello revealed he had ‘found what he was looking for’ after victories over Spain and Sweden.

The Three Lions defied the football betting on Saturday to overcome European and World Champions Spain, with Frank Lampard grabbing the only goal.

Then on Tuesday Gareth Barry’s header deflected in off Celtic defender Daniel Majstorovic to give England their first win over Sweden since 1968.

But what pleased Capello the most, as well as those who watch Live Football Online at home, was the emergence of several young players, giving real competition for places.

The performance from the likes of Kyle Walker, Jack Rodwell and Phil Jones means that many of the established order are no longer guaranteed a place, meaning there is a real battle on to make Capello’s final squad for next summer’s European Championships. Something that pleases the Italian.

"It was important to win and important to beat Sweden after 43 years, but, for me, it was most important to see Jones, Walker and Rodwell play against a team which is really organised on the pitch and difficult to play against," said Capello after the game.

"The answer that I received from the performance was really important for me. These three players played really well.

"The last two matches, against Spain and Sweden, have been really interesting. During these games I was looking for something new and I found it. I found three really interesting players. These three players are really good technically, really good physically and all three are fast. That is important in modern football."

At the end of the season I will decide on my squad. I hope that all the midfield will be fit but Rodwell is a really interesting player. A young player. The competition to play at the Euros will be really, really strong and I hope that competition involves all these players."
