Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone welcomes criticism

Diego Simeone claims he enjoys being criticised because it is motivation to do better.

"I get excited when I see or hear criticism," the Atletico Madrid coach said at his press conference on Saturday. 

"Because criticism shows me that we can do more. I like criticism. I hope that we can find consistency in this situation.

"We are always looking to get the best out of ourselves, but the fact is that we have lacked some consistency. We have to be more consistent. LaLiga is all about consistency.

"Since Christmas, we were at our own level versus Las Palmas, then the first half against Eibar was not very good, but we improved. We did alright in the return against Las Palmas until the 85th minute. And the game against Eibar the other day was good."
