00:00It's a fact of life, you know. If you're in one of the most high-profile jobs in
00:10world football, then there's always going to be speculation, there's always going
00:14to be assessment of what's going on. So, yeah, I'm not worried. When I was a
00:22young manager, you're trying to forge a career and you're worried that if the
00:29first job doesn't go well, you'll never get another job. So you worry about
00:34failing and you worry about getting the sack and you worry about all those
00:38things. When you're older, I'm 53, I'm not worried about losing, I'm not worried
00:44about what might go wrong. The downside for me is irrelevant, it's about going
00:50for it now. That's been my mindset for quite a while and certainly it's
00:56been my mindset through this tournament because you know that there's always
01:01going to be reaction to how we play as well as the result. It's the nature of
01:05the role that I have.
