Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez says humility is an important part of his pro career.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has been heavily critical of players making individual errors in the past couple of months and the defender, still only 24, knows he has been at fault a couple of times.
Asked if the public criticism is hard to take, Sanchez said: “I can talk about myself.
“I've been a professional for five or six years and my position has a lot of responsibility.
"I'm just dealing with that from the start.
“You have to be humble when somebody is, not blaming you, but having to say something isn't right or correct.
“You need to accept it, be humble and take it.
“Of course, it's not trying to put that in the bin and forget it.
“You keep going because if someone is saying something like that to you, it's because they know you can do a lot better than that.
“The manager is very direct and wants the best for the team.
“No manager wants to get bad results. He is very honest with everybody, from who is doing well and involved, to who is not in the best form or needs to work.
“We are here to perform and to get results and of course, as a professional, you can have good periods or not as good as you expect and bad periods can come, too."
