Baku, August 10 (AZERTAC). England boss Fabio Capello says he hopes to “improve the minds” of his players for the team`s European Championship qualifying campaign.

However, Capello conceded that he did not know how to go about doing so.

Capello was speaking at a news conference ahead of his side`s friendly against Hungary on Wednesday.

“The mind is important but I don`t know what you do to improve the minds of the players,” said Capello, whose side lost in the second round of the World Cup.

The Italian was heavily criticized for his role in England`s poor showing in South Africa, where his side struggled through the group stages only to be drubbed 4-1 by Germany in the last 16.

He attributed the exit to the mindset of the players and tiredness, saying “we were not so fresh as the games we played before the World Cup”.

Capello added that he had received three job offers since England were knocked out in South Africa. “They were from important clubs but I don`t want to speak about them because I respect the managers who are working there now,” he said.
