But we won't take anything lightly."[LNB]Johnson also revealed his determination to break into Fabio Capello's England squad ahead of next year's European Championships after missing out on the World Cup in South Africa last year.[LNB]"Missing out on the World Cup was devastating for me," added Johnson.[LNB]"That is gone now, but I can't not go to Euro 2012 as well.
