Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has revealed his views on dealing with criticism, which he sees as a strength to improve.
In a statement, the Senegalese striker explained that he views negative comments as a form of motivation rather than an obstacle.
“I want to hear people say bad things about me, criticize me on the pitch”Jackson said. “That’s good, it helps.” I like it, you know”, he added.
The 22-year-old’s remarks prove his mental toughness and determination to progress as a player, even when being tackled severely. Jackson’s attitude speaks to his commitment to self-improvement and his ability to transform external pressures into positive energy.
However, Nicolas Jackson’s comments contrast with his attitude a few months ago. Severely criticized by former Chelsea player, John Mikel Obi, the Senegalese striker did not like it and responded sharply via social networks pushing the Nigerian and Jackson’s agent to react.
Note that this season, Nicolas Jackson is at his prime with Chelsea. Author of 8 goals in 14 Premier League matches, the former Villarreal player is one of the big players in the Blues’ current good form.
