The Tottenham Hotspur star has had a rollercoaster two weeks.
Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has told L’Equipe that he bears no ill will toward anybody who has doubted him recently.
Lloris was among the heroes for Tottenham on Tuesday after the Frenchman saved a penalty from Sergio Aguero during Spurs’ Champions League quarter-final win over Manchester City.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side went on to win the first leg 1-0 in North London, with Lloris denying a potentially huge away goal.
It’s been a very mixed season for the World Cup-winning Lloris, who has also made a series of mistakes – including in the 2-1 defeat by Liverpool on March 31.
The 32-year-old received plenty of criticism after the gaffe at Anfield, but the former Lyon star says that harsh critiques only makes his motivation to improve even greater.
He told L’Equipe after Tuesday’s win over Pep Guardiola’s side: “I answer on the pitch. I am not perfect, I can make mistakes but what I know what I give for the club. I am paid to play, they are paid to talk.
“I have no revenge to take, it is part of football. This is not a source of motivation for me. I play for my club, my coach, my team-mates, my family but not for those people. They have the right to analyse.”
