It’s nothing new about athletes being put to the challenge and being rebuked for off performances in a string. Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, however, loves being questioned and criticized because he believes that the flak brings out the best in him. Jackson has formerly struggled to maintain a certain level of consistency.

Talking on the Premier League’s Big Interview, Nicolas Jackson opened up on how criticism helps him bring out his best. Unlike most of the footballers who want to shy away from the rebuke, Jackson wants more of it.
??? Nico Jackson: “I want to hear people say bad things about me! Criticise me on the pitch, it’s nice… it helps you, I love this you know”.
