Chelsea striker Diego Costa says he will not change his aggressive approach because he retains "100 percent" support from Jose Mourinho, the club and the fans.
Costa was handed a three-match retrospective ban for violent conduct last month after incidents involving Arsenal centre-backs Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel in Chelsea's 2-0 win.
The Spain international was also given a retrospective ban for violent conduct for stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can during last season's Capital One Cup semifinal.
However, Mourinho said after the Liverpool game that the stamps were "absolutely accidental" and blamed TV pundits for creating an issue, and the Chelsea boss hinted that his striker had been harshly treated when questioned about last month's suspension.
Costa, who has always maintained that he faces strong provocation during matches, says he feels no need to adopt a less confrontational attitude.
"I have 100 percent support from my manager, from the club and from the Chelsea fans," he said in the Daily Mirror. "So other people, other opinions, I don't care, I'm not really bothered.
"I will not change unless my manager or the people from my club or my supporters tell me so.
"No, I don't need to change, because I have done nothing wrong. During my football career, many, many times other players have done stuff to me, like kick me, but I am not a cry baby.
"So I think the supporters saw that was unfair and so the supporters, the manager and the club have given me a lot of support."
