Capello has up to three friendlies - against Germany, Slovakia and possible Spain - to look at rising talent before England resume their qualification campaign against Ukraine at Wembley on April 1.

He made the most of the five non-competitive games he had at his disposal, after replacing Steve McClaren, in terms of trying out different formations and line-ups before the World Cup programme got under way.

Now the Italian will look to go down the same route, as England sit at the top of their qualification group, with a maximum 12 points from the opening four games after their 3-1 victory against Belarus last night.

Capello confirmed: "I did a lot of experimenting in the friendly matches. That is what they are for. I experimented to decide the best XI, to decide the squad, everything.

"In the next three games I will experiment again - against Germany, against Spain, whoever.

"I need players with confidence, players that play more games with the seniors - and for this reason, in the next games we will definitely experiment.

"I know a lot of players. I know all the English players, and some are injured now, and some can maybe be involved in the next couple of games.

"Before the next game versus Germany, I will try to find some new players."

Aston Villa duo Gabriel Agbonlahor and winger Ashley Young, plus Tottenham wide player David Bentley, could come into the frame against the Germans in Berlin on November 19.

Capello has been used to dealing with players on a day-to-day basis during his distinguished career at club level and has welcomed two sets of back-to-back games to work with his squad.

But he is also aware that all his coaching skills would count for little if he did not have a talented squad at his disposal.

He said: "The time I have had with the players is very important. I have usually trained every day of my life with players at club level, and to have 10 days with the players now - and the same last month - has been very important.

"When we stay together as a group like this for a few days we work - on the pitch, with watching videos, everything. It is very important.

"The players are good. Without good players, it is impossible to win. For even the best managers, with no good players to choose, it is impossible to win.

"I think they are very good players. If you look against Belarus, Wayne Rooney and Emile Heskey played very well; Wayne Bridge played very well; Wes Brown played very well; Matthew Upson played a good game. The captain (Rio Ferdinand) was fantastic.

"All the players played well - because they are good players."

Capello will resist the temptation to think England already have one foot on the plane for the 2010 finals, despite their healthy position.

He said: "There is a long way to go before we qualify for South Africa. We have to win more games, but the position we are in is good.

"It is an important position. You have to accept these victories but also think 'this is only one win'. You have to think just about the next game. I am happy, but no more than that."
