Steven Gerrard and Glen Johnson[LNB]GLEN JOHNSON believes Fabio Capello's single-mindedness will prove crucial in helping England negotiate their way into the World Cup's knockout stages.[LNB]England left their training base in Sun City today to fly down to Cape Town for tomorrow night's crucial Group C clash with Algeria.[LNB]Having drawn their opening fixture 1-1 with the USA - and seen Slovenia steal a march with a 1-0 win over the Algerians - England have little room for manoeuvre.[LNB]Capello has come in for criticism on a number of issues in the time since that game, largely down to the fact he did not name his team until two hours before kick-off.[LNB] LIverpool right-back Johnson, though, has revealed that Capello will not let any outside factors distract his approach - and that is why he is confident England will continue to progress.[LNB]'He is a very good manager and a nice man,' said Johnson, who was outstanding against the USA in Rustenberg.[LNB]'He is well aware of what he wants to do and he knows how to do it. He knows how to get the job done and is definitely a manager at the top of his game.[LNB]'Every kid dreams of playing for England in the World Cup so what I am doing now is a dream come true. There are a lot of good teams and every game is difficult.
