Argentina goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri has refused to be sidetracked by criticism of his recent performances for Jose Pekerman's side.

The Boca Juniors custodian endured a torrid press reception after the 3-2 defeat by Croatia, but Abbondanzieri says he is firmly focused on the task in hand at the World Cup finals.

He said: "I'm fine, I'm feeling very secure and that's important.

"I've been playing several games in the national team and I've been getting used to it.

"The goals that have been scored against me and the ones I could have saved are part of the past. Now the only think that I think about is that people trust in me.

"We've been talking about this and it can't happen in the World Cup. We're working not to repeat those mistakes."
