00:00 We work on defending as a team.
00:02 I think when we press or when we're in a block,
00:07 we make sure that we're very compact and make it difficult for the opposition.
00:12 I think especially since Arnie's come in, we've improved on that a lot.
00:19 When you come into a tournament, everything changes to a friendly game or club football and everything like that.
00:28 It's a one-off game.
00:30 We've really got to be switched on every minute of the game.
00:34 I think against India we did that really well.
00:36 I don't think they had any clear chances at all.
00:39 Us as a defence, we know that we do our job.
00:43 We've got enough quality on the other side of the pitch to punish teams.
00:46 For us, it's just about keeping clean sheets and making sure that we put them away down the other end.
