hits out at the press and their ‘manufactured’ mind games:
"It's a lot of nonsense. It's something manufactured by the

psychological warfare - as they call it - against your

"If you have to have an opinion on the state of your own
game then you say it as you see it, but to suggest it's all
psychological warfare, it's all nonsense."

mean by a point or two.
