REVEALED: How Chelsea striker Diego Costa rejected English press criticism

Alexandre Pato has recalled playing alongside Diego Costa at Chelsea.

Pato says Diego Costa had a unique approach to the criticism he would cop playing in England.

"When I arrived at Chelsea, Diego Costa was there," he told Flow Sport Club. "The English media were criticising him & the rival fans were swearing at him.

"But he's always calm. I asked him: "How do you cope with this pressure?"

"Diego said: 'I don't understand anything. I don't speak English'."
