De Gea criticism affects everyone on Spain - Saul Niguez
Though David de Gea is not lacking confidence and remains one of the world's best despite his international struggles,Spain team-mate Saul Niguez believes criticism of the goalkeeper harms the team.
The goalkeeper was criticised for Tin Jedvaj's late Nations League winner for Croatia on Thursday, a 3-2 loss leaving Spain's chances of reaching the finals out of their hands.
De Gea made a single save at the World Cup, where he was guilty of a poor mistake that allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to score in a draw against Portugal, and his international form has not improved since.
