Following Manchester United's game against Fulham, former Manchester United striker Berbatov has given his opinion on the Man of the Match award. Although Zylkiser came on as a second-half substitute and scored the only goal of the game to be named Man of the Match, Berbatov believes that Casemiro or Bruno Fernandes were more deserving of the honor due to their more outstanding contributions in the game.
Berbatov began by recognizing Zylkiser's positive attitude in the game, especially his behavior of asking for the ball from his teammates, which demonstrated the young player's confidence. However, he also pointed out that this confidence may sometimes reflect the player's inaccurate grasp of the overall rhythm of the game. Although Zilkzer managed to score a goal, Berbatov believes that, in terms of their performance throughout the game, Casemiro and B Faye outperformed Zilkzer in terms of the control they showed on the field, the accuracy of their passes, and their contribution to the game.
"Football is like that sometimes, you score goals and you are the best in the game." Berbatov admitted that scoring goals is crucial for a striker, but more factors need to be taken into consideration when evaluating whether a player is the best of the game or not. He further said that although Zilkidze had a good start, he still has a lot to improve and enhance. Berbatov mentioned that Zirkerze looked a bit shy on the field, which could affect his chemistry with his teammates and his consistency in the game.
However, Berbatov is also looking forward to Zirkezer's future. He believes that Zirkezer's ability to grab the ball in the box and his desire for possession are positive signs that will be important building blocks for his future growth. At the same time, he also believes that under the guidance and help of predecessors such as Van Nistelrooy, Zirkezer will be able to find his own niche more quickly and contribute more to Manchester United.
Finally, Berbatov encouraged Zirkezer to maintain this positive attitude and continue to work hard to improve his skill level and game experience. He believes that Zirkezer will be able to be an important part of United's forward line in future matches.
