Colin Kazim-Richards has blasted criticism of his recent performances for Feyenoord and pointed to the likes of Arsene Wenger and Thierry Henry as the reason he takes such talk on the chin.
Kazim-Richards has been blasted for poor performances in recent weeks, but was on target today for Feyenoord, striking in the 32nd minute to help his side to a 1-0 Eredivisie win away at NAC Breda.
And after the match he opened up on how he has simply let criticism bounce off him, taking no notice of what the pundits say.
"I never understood the criticism", Kazim-Richards said pointedly to FOX Sports.

"I have two kids at home. I'm enjoying myself in life, I enjoy going to work and I enjoy this kind of game.
"Criticism does not matter.
"Thierry Henry, Roberto Carlos and Pierre van Hooijdonk were also criticised.
"At the moment, Arsene Wenger is given criticism every day. And it's the same for me.
"Graziano Pelle twice scored 25 league goals for Feyenoord, but when he arrived at Feyenoord people had a lot to say."
Kazim-Richards, born in London, spent time in the youth ranks at Arsenal before breaking through into the senior game with Bury.
He signed for Feyenoord on loan from Turkish side Bursaspor in the summer.
