Eder: ‘I don’t listen to criticism’

Few expected Eder to shine for Italy, but he contributed to their 2-0 victory over Belgium. “I don’t listen to criticism.”

The Inter striker has found the net just once in Serie A over the last six months, but worked hard alongside Graziano Pellè in the Euro 2016 opener.

“Football is a wonderful sport because it gives you such remarkable emotions,” Eder told Rai Sport.

“Football is a wonderful sport because it gives you such remarkable emotions,” Eder told Rai Sport.

“Antonio Conte has faith in me and during a rough time I was training at home by myself to be ready for France.

“I don’t listen to criticism, don’t want TV or read the papers. I only watch games on television.

“This evening we saw many things tested out in training that made an impact in the match. It was a wonderful victory, one for the whole group, but in four days we play again and therefore our minds must turn to Sweden.”
