Berbatov was interviewed by metro a few days ago and talked about Gary Neville's criticism of Sheshko and Sheshko's own performance.

Berba said: "Everyone can express criticism through social media or TV, but no matter how powerful you think you are, the constant sharp accusations will always erode your heart. This will affect your game state, mood swings and self-confidence. After all, we are all Flesh and blood."

"Of course, I can easily blame the forward, the team, the player or the coach, but we need to look for constructive criticism, those opinions that bring additional value and make you reflect."

"Some retired players do. Those who are more qualified to criticize, such as Gary Neville, have more say due to his career, achievements and length of playing at Manchester United. For my part, I will try to put forward a constructive point of view and focus more on the positive and explain the expectations for the players. It started slowly, but I hope he is ready to break out and contribute goals to Manchester United's No. 9 position."

Berba believes that Sheshko has all the potential to become a top striker, but urges the forward to strengthen team chemistry: "He has everything a forward should have. Quality, tall stature, athletic ability, and ability to shoot left and right shots. But the Bundesliga is completely different from the Premier League. The latter is a completely different beast. "

"Of course he needs to rely on his teammates to deliver ammunition, so he has to go deeper. Understand the characteristics of your teammates. Does the winger make a fake move before passing the ball? These details will help you grasp the timing of the insertion. I hope he is working hard to improve. As I said, I appreciate his performance in the Bundesliga. , but now the challenge is even more severe. "

"This is Manchester United, the world's top club. The pressure is always there, even when you sleep, so you need to be patient. Sometimes a slow start means an explosion is about to happen."

During Manchester United's away game against Tottenham, Berbatov said: "I am cautiously optimistic about the two old clubs. Based on experience, the Premier League is not a sprint but a marathon, and we must be prepared for an intensive schedule until the final round. Both teams have excellent players and have also had wonderful performances."
