“It’s normal,” he told reporters of the negative reaction. “There’s going to be opinions outside of what’s going on and what they think of the game, but we’re not too focused on that. We trust what we’re doing.
“(We) can’t spend too much time listening to people that aren’t playing and aren’t actually on the field. We know what we’re doing, we trust what we’re doing and we’re confident, so that’s all that matters.
“It’s a long journey. You can’t be too high, too low, you have to trust in what you’re doing in the present moment. We’re trying to enjoy it as much as we can and being confident on what’s to come.

“The mentality is still the same, still focusing on doing what we need to do to win. We’re positive. We know what we’ve been doing to get to this position; we’re confident of what we’ve been doing. Today was a difficult day because of how well they played, but we could’ve got a win today.
“I’m trusting that what we’ve been doing, how we’ve been playing, the confidence that we’re playing with will put us in a good position to top the group.”
