Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt has dismissed critics after Tuesday's Champions League defeat of Lokomotiv Moscow.
De Ligt has struggled to win over the local press since his summer arrival from Ajax.
"I think I played well: I was solid and stable, and I didn't do much wrong," the 20-year-old told De Telegraaf.
I just had to do my job and that was defending. Lokomotiv had virtually no shots on goal.
I worked more in the gym at Ajax than I do here, so that's just a myth [that I spend too long in the gym].
I'm not particularly clued up on the criticism because I don't read that much anymore, to be honest."
