But it's a risk you must take," Bravo told the Guardian. "The criticism is going to exist but I have no problem with that."In fact, I often accept criticism because I feel it helps me to get better and get stronger. And I hardly ever remember the compliments." After starting life under Guardiola with 10 straight wins in all competitions, City went six without a victory, before a current sequence of one loss in eight and Bravo says it will take time for the manager's ideas to take full effect."We are changing the idea of how the team plays. I think it's been positive in that sense. Maybe the results at home haven't been positive but overall we have made some great performances," Bravo said."We need to keep following the same idea. We cannot play 10 games this way and then switch the method to play another way. We just need time. "In Barcelona they have been playing this style for years, from the kids to the first team. Here we have had only a few months trying to learn a different way of playing from the rest of the teams in the Premier League."</blockquote>
