England coach Fabio Capello has hit back at some of his critics in the press.

Capello has withstood heavy criticism from all sections of the media following England's poor World Cup campaign.

And Capello lead England to a 4-0 win over Bulgaria in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier on Friday.

And the Italian insists that some of his more fearsome critics should take a look at themselves, saying: "When you shave in the morning you have to look in the mirror and ask is what you wrote about this man correct or not.

"I can't change what people write. I understand it has to be done.

"I look at myself and I am sure what I brought was good.

"I try to do my job really well but sometimes I make mistakes.

"When I started my career as a player I had a lot of big injuries. When I was 20 the newspapers said I was finished.

"I worked really hard and stayed strong. This time it is the same."
