Conor Coady is determined not to let standards slip as England look to put the seal on World Cup qualification in San Marino on Monday.
Gareth Southgate's side need only a point against the winless minnows in Serravalle to rubber-stamp their place at next year's tournament in Qatar.
It should prove a formality for a team bidding to wrap up an unbeaten qualifying campaign with an eighth win from 10 games and end the year on a high after reaching the Euro 2020 final.
Conor Coady wants England to maintain their focus and finish their qualification task
Southgate is set to make a number of changes with Wolves defender Coady one of those who will come in.
'It has been an incredible last 12 months in terms of where we've been and what we've done,' said Coady, who was made available for media duties after being told he will earn his eighth cap.
'But we've got one more job to do - one more job as a team to make sure are right, to make sure we are professionals, to make sure we stick to our principles.
'Then we can look back on what we have done in the last year and really say it has been a good one.'
