[新聞] Green: I'll move on

[skywinjim (the Three Lions!!!!!!)]

I can bounce back, insists Green

Blundering England goalkeeper Robert Green insists he has the mental
strength to bounce back from his costly error that gifted the USA an
equaliser in the 1-1 Group C opener in Rustenburg.

Steven Gerrard scored after just four minutes to give England a flying
start but Green committed the kind of howler David Seaman, Paul Robinson
and Scott Carson have all done down the years and allowed Clint Dempsey's
harmless shot to slip through his fingers.

But Green, who made a good save to deny USA striker Jozy Altidore later
in the match, insists he has put the error behind him already.

"It was a mistake. The important thing is not to let it affect you for
however long is left in the game," Green said.

"That is what you prepare for mentally. You don't prepare mentally for
making great saves and playing the perfect game. You prepare for trauma.

"It is regrettable and not what you want to happen but that's life and
you move on, you hold your head up high and get to work in training. It
won't affect me psychologically. I'm 30, I'm a man, and you have
hardships in life and prepare for them.

"I'm strong enough to move on. At a younger point in my life it would
have affected me more. But you hold your hand up and say 'that's gone,
move on and don't let it affect you'.''

Green found out he would be starting the World Cup opener after winning
selection ahead of David James and Joe Hart when Fabio Capello announced
the team to the squad two hours before kick-off.

"I found out before we left for the game when they announced the team,
with everyone else," said Green. "It wasn't a factor. I prepared the same
as if I was going to play.

"You go through mental preparation the night before the game and prepare
for moments of trauma in a game when it happens. It happened today and
for me the important thing was to bounce back from it."
