England were held to a goalless stalemate by Scotland in Group D (Picture: Getty)Mason Mount says England\u2019s players must try to ignore the boos and focus on improvement in the wake of their disappointing goalless draw with Scotland at Euro 2020.
\nThe Three Lions beat Croatia in their opening Group D match but produced a limp performance on their return to Wembley last Friday night, with some supporters jeering Gareth Southgate\u2019s players as they left the pitch.
\nHowever, victory over the Czech Republic on Tuesday night would see England qualify for the last 16 as group leaders and Mount will hope to continue his run in the side after playing every minute of the campaign thus far.
\nSpeaking to The Daily Mirror ahead of the match, the 22-year-old Chelsea midfielder said he was hoping to make the country \u2018proud\u2019 again with a strong performance and all three points.<\/p>\n
Mount believes England\u2019s players must focus on themselves (Picture: Getty)\u2018I\u2019ve had a lot of boos in my short career so that\u2019s obviously from away fans or home fans,\u2019 he said.
\n\u2018We focus on ourselves, how we can improve, what areas of our game we can do better at.
\n\u2018The perfection that we want is going to be tough to get better. We put pressure on ourselves to be perfect.
\n\u2018We want to make the country proud and hopefully next game we can do that.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u2018We know what we\u2019ve prepared,\u2019 the young Chelsea man added.
\n\u2018Fans want to see us attack al the time but sometimes you have to manage the game and keep the ball.
\n\u2018The Scotland game was frantic at times and sometimes you have to control the ball, build possession. That\u2019s part of football.\u2019<\/p>\n
Rooney says \u2018there is no need to boo\u2019 England\u2019s players (Picture: Getty)In his column for The Times, Wayne Rooney criticised those supporters who decided to boo at the final whistle and called for \u2018patience\u2019 with Southgate\u2019s young squad.
\n\u2018I was at Wembley with my two oldest lads to watch England draw with Scotland and at full time stood and clapped the players off. Around us there were fans booing the team,\u2019 England\u2019s all-time record goalscorer said.
\n\u2018It reminded me of my time playing for England, when we were jeered on more than one occasion \u2013 and I can tell you it never helped any individual play better, nor helped the team.
\n\u2018I think we, as a country and England supporters, have to get behind our players. Gareth Southgate and his players did not deserve to be booed on Friday.
\n\u2018I know, 100 per cent, that they are giving everything to help England do well. Those players are young lads and I know, first hand, how hard it is\u00a0wearing that England shirt and walking off to boos.

\u2018Be patient with them. There is plenty of quality in that squad and there is still a good opportunity for England to do something at Euro 2020, so why make their task more difficult?
\n\u2018Booing will not make anyone play better. Overreactions are not what we need.
\n\u2018Patience. Let\u2019s get behind this team and stay behind them. There is a lot of pressure playing for England. There is no need to boo.\u2019<\/p>\n
