"?Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane knows the value of hard work more than most. He's established himself at the top of the pecking order for both club and country after an incredible goal return over the last two years and will only continue using the criticism as motivation.
"Well when people doubt you, you have to use it to your advantage," came the reply when asked how he keeps the belief in himself.
"It's up to you to prove them wrong. We all work hard and there is a lot of strain involved but as long as you focus on showing what you can do, you can achieve exactly what you want to.
"I have always said that hard work and self-belief have been two very important things for me along the way. There will always be ups and downs but as long as you know you have got what takes to make it, you should be able to do it."
Kane scored 25 Premier League goals in 2015/16, bettering his tally from a year earlier, and became the first Englishman since Kevin Phillips 16 years earlier to claim the coveted Golden Boot. The season had started slowly in that respect, but the players always had faith in his own ability.
"After about the first nine games of last season I only had one goal and people were doubting me," he said.
"People were talking, saying I was a one-season wonder, but I had kind of expected that. I always knew I would score goals though and in the end I did score goals. To win the golden boot proved a lot of people wrong."
For Kane now, the challenge is keep coming back, game after game, season after season, and the attitude that has got him this far will continue to shine through - he's a natural born competitor whatever the scenario.
"I think you have to enjoy your football and if you are not smiling you won't be playing that well. But also when it comes to competition - you want to win," said Kane, who is inspired to simply be the best that he can be and not feel like he has let himself or his family down.
"I'm a winner and that's the case no matter what I'm doing. If it was a race in the playground or if I'm playing tennis with my brother, I always want to win. That mode always sets in, no matter what I'm doing."
