"With our strongest group out [on the field] we have a strong team. The players are massively behind what we're doing, the players know we're moving in the right direction, I'll keep fighting for resources and to make sure what we provide for the players and how we set ourselves up is the very best for the players."
Citing the New Zealand U-23 side which he took charge of, Hudson argued that the most recent results haven't been all doom and gloom for New Zealand football.
"The last seven or eight games we've been in we've not lost. I made a big decision to take over the 23's - that's not my responsibility, I did it for the benefits of what I feel is right for the future of football here, to take the younger players and bring them through into the first team and we're still seven games unbeaten with the games that have been in front of us."
Despite the long-term focus, Hudson still understands the importance of getting results with the All Whites.
"Every game I go into I want to win, I understand that I'm in the business where it's about results. Results are important, I get that, and ultimately I want to be and will be judged upon results."
The All Whites' path to World Cup qualification begins in May 2016, when they take on the rest of Oceania in the OFC Nations Cup.
Hudson is certain that the All Whites will be ready, and will still qualify for the World Cup.
"We will be ready by the time the qualifiers come around. 100%."
