Harry Kane says there will always be fans who take their criticism 'too far' after beer cups were thrown at Gareth Southgate - and he has urged his compatriots to stay behind the team.
The manager was booed by England supporters as he defiantly applauded them following Tuesday's goalless draw with Slovenia. Some plastic missiles were also hurled from the stands.
But Kane said: 'I know there was a bit of stuff after the game, but the atmosphere was incredible. 99 per cent of the fans do what they always do. They're singing, they're pushing us on. I know the fans back home watching in the pubs, they're pushing us on. They want us to be successful.
'You're always going to get maybe one or two that take it a bit too far, but that's football, that's life. We've all been around long enough to have been a part of that. From our point of view, I'd say just keep doing what they're doing. We know they're behind us.
'They know that we're giving everything, we're putting everything on the line to try and be successful. Nothing's changed from that point of view.'
Kane says England's performance in the group stage is now irrelevant and has reminded his team-mates they will only be remembered for what happens in the knockout rounds.
Southgate's side have been met with criticism following every game so far in Germany, despite topping their group with five points. Kane himself has struggled to find his best form, but the captain is only looking forward, as he said: 'The tournament is split into two halves. Without sounding rude, the group stage now is irrelevant. We've done what we had to do. We learned from the games. We learned from some mistakes.
'We take the positives from what we've done well, but that's in the past. No one really cares about that now. Now, it's about what we do in the knockouts. That's what we're going to be remembered for. That's what we've been remembered for in the past tournaments as well. That's our mindset.'
Kane also believes the best is yet to come, as he told the FA's Lions' Den show: 'In these major tournaments, you're climbing a mountain. I feel like we're halfway up the mountain right now. We're at that stage where there's still a long way to go.
'I feel like we have more in the tank for sure. We have had some of our best performances in the knockout rounds. Whether that's because teams have to come out a little bit more and they have to attack a little bit more as well, who knows?
'But we seem to have played some really good games in the knockouts, and we're hoping we can take that into this tournament as well. We're relaxed.'
