Capello says England will perform ‘without fear’ against Croatia

FABIO CAPELLO insists England must perform “without fear” against Croatia in tonight’s World Cup qualifier – after claiming he currently prefers to play away from Wembley because the players lack confidence in front of their own fans.

England were beaten 2-0 in Zagreb two years ago in a Euro 2008 qualifier and will again be confronted with a hostile atmosphere in the Maksimir Stadium.

But Capello has sensed a growing belief among his players during the 10 days they have been together which he feels is not evident when in action at the national stadium.
