da premier bet： England captain John Terry has stated that his team know that their fate is in their own hands, and has targeted six points from the next two Euro 2012 qualifiers.
da aposte e ganhe： Fabio Capello’s outfit take on Bulgaria in Sofia on Friday night before hosting Wales at Wembley on Tuesday, and the Chelsea defender realises that the next two fixtures could decide whether England make the tournament.
“It’s in our hands. In the way we perform and the way we play we must be very positive. In our minds we’re coming here as a group of players to pick up three points. These next two games we must pick up six points and put ourselves in a very good position in the group,” the centre half said in a news conference.
England were forced to come back from 2-0 down against Switzerland in their last qualifying match back in June, and ended up salvaging a 2-2 draw, but Terry was not happy with the result.
“I think the way we drew the game against the Swiss we all realised as players that we didn’t play to our potential. The second half was obviously very encouraging, to come back, but unfortunately we didn’t go on and win the game,” he stated.
Capello has opted to include a number of under-21 stars in the full international reckoning, with Manchester United trio Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling looking to make their full debuts; Terry thinks they have adapted well to the step up.
“They’ve come into the England set-up and felt very comfortable and very assured of themselves as well and rightly so because they’re huge talents and certainly for the present and future of the England side they’ve got a lot to give.
“If we do get ourselves to the Euros we can go there with some young players with an awful lot of games under their belts and a little bit more experience as well. That mixture of the young and the old that we always speak about, we could do very well by that,” the skipper concluded.
