I don\u2019t think I have had time to really think about this defeat. I am not a player who is used to losing like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am lucky to win a lot of games and I am not used to it at all, but these things make you stronger, help you reflect and go out in the next game with renewed energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to ride with the punches in football and move forward. This was not our best game and we know we have to improve a lot of things if we want to continue in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will unite us more than ever. I am a player that in tough moments, my character shines through even more. I don\u2019t want to see anyone downbeat and, if I do, I try to pick them up because that doesn\u2019t help anyone. We acknowledge it was not good enough, but now we want to kick on and go again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bonmat\u00ed said she was surprised by the tactics used by Japan, who have laid down a marker as one of the favourites for the tournament in the group stage, winning all three of their games, scoring 11 goals and conceding none.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan thrashed Spain to ensure they topped Group C in their final group game of the Women\u2019s World Cup Aitana Bonmat\u00ed said Spain are \u201cpissed off\u201d after suffering a shock 4-0 loss to Japan yesterday, but the midfielder hopes they can use the game to kick start their FIFA World Cup campaign.
