But the Swede insists he's not bothered by his critics, stating: "Criticism is part of the job, the only important thing is Milan.

"I can't make jokes, because not everyone understands. I'm working, it's hard work and I like it, I'm developing.

"The important thing is the team, not me. We are getting over this moment, but personally, there is nothing that bothers me. I played for 25 years with criticism, I keep doing what I do and it just fires me up more."
