Berbatov Eager To Silence His Critics At Man United
'Berba' vows to find consistency.
Dec 14, 2009 7:28:28 PM
Dimitar Berbatov has assured the Manchester United fans that he is working hard in an effort to produce his best form week in, week out.
The Bulgarian striker has received mixed reviews since his £30.75 million move to Old Trafford two summer ago, with the supporters often left frustrated by his laconic style of play.
"The fans have probably seen glimpses of my best goals, passes and games," Berbatov said in The Mirror. "I know you need to show that all the time and that's my main goal - in every game to show my best.
"I think every person is different in coping with pressure, every person thinks differently. For me, sometimes it is difficult because people expect so much of me.
"But that's the way it should be because the people here have paid so much money for me.
"I try to give my best for the team to win things. I think I did that in my first season. We won the championship and I think everybody was happy about that."
However, the former Tottenham Hotspur star added that he tends to ignore those who believe he needs to sacrifice his natural elegance and become more aggressive.
"I try not to pay attention to this because always you have people who will say white is black and black is white," Berbatov said.
"I read a book recently and the book started saying unless you have beauty and grace, you are powerless to win a heart. I like to play like that, with beauty and grace. I like to do stuff like that.
"I've been here over a year now and everything is going well for me. I'm happy here, I love it here.
"The manager has been in charge of this great club for so many years that of course you are going to learn things. If you want to develop, this is the place to be."
