Crystal Palace captain Milivojevic: Why I don't bother with social media

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic admits social media isn't for him.

The Serb doesn't feel the need to show off online.

He explained to Palace's website: “I don't need to go over that – to show myself on Instagram, to provoke their eyes onto myself – with hair, tattoos. It's just not who I am. Of course, this is just my opinion, and some players love that side of life and I respect that.

"For me, it's very simple: I try to be a normal person, I don't try to be a Premier League footballer. I try to be very professional person, who has responsibility – I am playing for my national team, for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, I have a family. You have responsibility in your life, because a lot of people are watching you.

"The most important, yet the most difficult thing is - to be simple. But when you are, your life is much easier to lead with that."
