Alfred Johansson's reaction to Motherwell 0-4 Aberdeen: 'We won't feel we're the worst team in the world' - Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson reacts to a 0-4 defeat at the hands of Stephen Robinson's Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership, insisting there's no need to go back to basics. Johansson says his side will stay true to how they've trained all season, keep their chest out and heads up, and be ready to react on Saturday.
Just as Motherwell didn't get carried away when they were winning, Johansson says they won't overreact now: "we won't feel we're the worst team in the world."

Before the next game, do you have to reset and go back to basics? Is that what you need to emphasise to your players?
Depending on what "basics" means to you... obviously we go down the same route we've been doing since the start of the season. I think we need to have chest out and head up, and accept that tonight we lost. We need to make sure that in the next couple of days when we come back to train, we improve, we have a reaction, and we're ready on Saturday. When we were winning a couple of games, we didn't feel like we'd rule the world, and tonight we will not feel that we're the worst team in the world either. So it's just: stay true to ourselves, go back and train the same things we've been doing, and make sure we're even better next time.
