AS Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman has hit back at his critics.
Strootman feels he's silenced the doubters.
"A few months ago, some found it incomprehensible that Roma paid so much for me," he told Algemeen Dagblad.
"Football is like that, as one week everything is perfect, a week later it all looks bad. I received a lot of criticism and some is still coming in.
"I am happy at Roma, but there are many people who call me up just because they saw me play a game in Italy. Perhaps many of these people ought to see me play at least a couple of times."
