DBasia.news – Dimitar Berbatov, a former Manchester United striker, said that Real Madrid attacking midfielder Gareth Bale will continue to be criticized even though the Welsh national team player scored as many goals for Los Blancos as possible.
“Even though Bale can score a hat-trick, for example, every week, he will still be the target of criticism from Real Madrid supporters,” Berbatov was quoted as saying by Marca.
Berbatov hopes that Bale can be played when Real Madrid against Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League last 16. According to Berba, Gareth Bale could be a key player because Eden Hazard was absent.
“I hope he plays because he enjoys and has experience when playing against English League clubs. He was able to score two goals in the final against Liverpool, “he added.
“I hope Zinedine Zidane gives him the confidence to be an important player in the match against Manchester City. He remains one of the world’s best players, “said the Bulgarian.
Related to the game, Berbatov said that the match against Manchester City should be maximized by the Real Madrid fans. Playing at home, Real Madrid has an injection of motivation from supporters.
“The best way for Madrid to stop City is to cut the ball from Kevin de Bruyne to Sergio Aguero. And exploring the weakness of the City back line, “closed Berbatov.
