LONDON. — Dimitar Berbatov is not impressed with Harry Kane’s decision to skip Tottenham Hotspur training as the England striker tries to force a move away to Manchester City.
Berbatov himself left Spurs for a big move when he signed for Manchester United for just over £30m in 2008 after a controversial approach from the Red Devils.
Then Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson made it clear he wanted to sign Berbatov in the summer of ’08 and the public pursuit unsettled the Bulgarian who would miss the first two games of Tottenham’s 2008/09 season before the deal was done.
Berbatov does not see his and Kane’s situations as the same and feels the Englishman is in the wrong by missing training this week, still yet to return to Hotspur Way.
“I was surprised. I don’t think it’s the right way. I never boycotted training, that’s the difference,” Berbatov told The Sun.
“I didn’t play two games. It was difficult for me to admit but I found the power to say, “If I play, my mind will not be there, so I will be in the way of my team-mates doing their job’.
“But training is easy. It’s behind closed doors, most team-mates will understand you, and it will be easy to let go of some stress with banter and jokes.
“I hope Harry resumes training, then the difficult and interesting part comes — the games. — Metro.
