Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says his critics attack him out of envy.
Courtois has played his way through a form slump to record five consecutive clean sheets.
And he said, "I don't read the press, I just pay attention to what my coaches and my teammates tell me. If they haven't been goalkeepers, they don't know how everything really works.
"I do not doubt my qualities. I am one of the best goalkeepers in the world and that is why they sometimes criticise me. I have been calm because against Celta, against Sevilla or against Atltico I made good stops. The same in other games. I'm showing a good level, it's a good start to the season and I have to continue like this.
"(Real coach Zinedine) Zidane told me to continue, to stay focused. He has always maintained confidence in me."
