Bayern Munich defender Dier: People rate me higher in Portugal than in England

Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier feels he doesn't get the recognition he deserves in England.

Dier has just signed for Bayern permanently from Tottenham.

He told The Times: "I have always felt that I am perhaps more valued in Portugal than in England. I may not be talked about with the respect I should get for what I have achieved in my career.

"I wouldn't say that the perception of me is positive (in England), but I don't feel sorry for myself in the least.

"I know what I have done and not done. No one is more critical of myself than myself."

Dier kicked off his pro career with Sporting CP.
