Ajax star Brian Brobbey claims he 'can live with' Ronald Koeman's criticism at his first touch and finishing, as Holland striker admits he has 'a lot of areas for improvement'

Brian Brobbey has claimed he can 'live with' criticism from Ronald Koeman, after the Netherlands manager claimed that the Ajax striker's first touch and finishing were 'not good'.

The former Barcelona, Everton and Southampton manager's comments came just weeks after he had given the 21-year-old star his international debut during their European Qualifiers match against Greece in October.

But the youngster, who has been linked with a move to Man United and Real Madrid in the past, didn't take Koeman's comments seriously, acknowledging that he was still a very young footballer and had plenty of things to improve on.
