PSV forward, Hirving Lozano has blasted his critics who accuse him of diving, he told them he does not care about their opinion of him.
Lozano netted 17 goals and provided 11 assists in the Eredivisie this season, but was accused of diving against NAC Breda.
He said he does not try to deceive defenders into receiving yellow or red card, and he only falls because the league is very physical.
His words, “If people say I do that [diving] or put opponents on a yellow card, I don’t care,”
“I know it isn’t [true] and that’s enough. It makes no sense to talk to me about one mistake, while so many violations are being committed against me. That’s no different here than in Mexico.
“There you have more to do against different defenders,”
“The defenders here [in the Netherlands] are the best players in many teams. I try to help my team with my game and the defenders also want to help their team. So they have to stop me.
“If they cannot do that in a normal way, then they’ll do it in another way. With fouls. They run the risk of getting a card.
“All I want to do is keep the ball with me, I do that by using my whole body. That there is sometimes contact is normal. That so many defenders get a yellow card against me, I think that’s enough.
“The defenders in the Netherlands are sometimes too hard in their tackles, they are often late and pull a lot on my shirt.”
