Berbatov: “Surely Mourinho has had something to do with Bale's recovery”

Dimitar Berbatov, Premier League legend and Betfair ambassador, pointed out José Mourinho as one of the main culprits that Gareth Bale, Real Madrid forward on loan to Tottenham, has gone from underperforming to exploding as one of the current references of the London team.

“Look, we will never know what Mourinho's ways are like at Tottenham, how he motivates the players or how he talks to them in private, but surely José has something to do with Bale's resurgence”, He began to explain that he was also a Tottenham forward.

“Let's see, of course, everything depends on the player, it's true, but Mourinho is also part of that. He has worked with so many excellent footballers, so who better than José to help great players get into their best form? ”, Berbatov insisted.

“It doesn't surprise me that Bale is back in shape with Mourinho, because he knows perfectly how to approach and deal with these things with Bale, how to manage your situation. He has been everywhere, won everything and managed the best ”, insisted the Betfair ambassador.

“The only way to silence criticism is to perform well”

Berbatov, who has always been a fan of Bale's game, encouraged the forward to continue. “Now what you have to do is keep pushing. The only place where you can silence criticism is to get out there and show what you can do. Perform well. That is the best medicine ”, repeated the one that was the top scorer in the Premier League in 2011.

“Of course, it's that everyone knows about football, everyone has an opinion, but few know what happens before and after a game, what it feels like to play there or what it is like to have an environment during an injury or a defeat. I know and the only thing left is to shake the criticism out of your head and press to give the best of yourself ”, He launched for thought and advice.

“When you win, you go home repeating all the plays in your head, and you are charming with everyone: your friends, the children, the family… But if you lose, it is the opposite. You just want to be left alone. I guess Bale has been through all of this and now feels great, ”concluded the Betfair ambassador.
