Fabio Capello says he is not under any extra pressure after being set ambitious targets by the Football Association.

The FA have unveiled a four-year strategic vision which includes England making it to the semi-finals of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 or the last four of Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

And Capello, who took charge after Steve McClaren was axed for his failure to lead England to the finals of Euro 2008, insists that he has no problem with the targets as he feels they are more than attainable.

"We must be positive and my personal objective in every team I have coached was to go to the top," he said.

"I am not under any pressure. It's no problem for me and it's no surprise these targets have been set. I believe that it's important to have these targets and to work towards them.

"We should all be confident of this because the team I have at the moment is capable of reaching these objectives."

The FA plans also include the appointment of an international performance director as well as having the National Football Centre at Burton ready by 2010.
