Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil admits he doesn't listen to advice about his game.
However, he does insist he respects his coaches.
"Look, I know there's people out there that like me, there are also people who don't like me," Ozil told the Daily Mail.
"This is a fact of life. But, for me, what is important is what the people in my inner circle tell me.
"I don't care what people say outside of that. It doesn't affect me.
"If the coach, or people in my circle, tell me: "Mesut you have to do this, or have to do that" then I listen. I'll take that and work on it.
"But I don't look at what someone else is saying. It really doesn't affect me."
