As Extra Bula FC prepares for their crucial match against Auckland FC today, head coach Stéphane Auvray says the team knows where they stand and he understand the lack of experience in the squad but their approach will remain the same.  

He says they know that they have won some games without playing well, and in other matches they performed well but did not win.

He adds that at the end of the day, no matter what they do, there will always be criticism.
