Dimitar Berbatov was in the midst of a mini goal draught
following his high profile £30.75million transfer from lily white
London side Tottenham Hotspur despite providing a delightful assist
on his debut.
The silky Bulgarian had gone three games without recording a goal
and then two came at once in Manchester United's 3-0 victory over
Aalborg in the Champions League.
Despite sending the ball over the line on two occasions Berbatov
struggled to even muster a smile, but he has now explained that he
wasn't slipping into his old sulky Spurs ways, but ws simply ruing
earlier opportunities that he had squandered.
"I did not celebrate the first goal because I was still angry with
myself for missing the first chance," he told the Manchester
Evening News.
"On that occasion, my shot was not right at all, in fact I was
embarrassed by it. When you pay so much money for someone you
should score chances like that... I was disappointed with the first
one. Sometimes in a game you might only get one opportunity and I
was trying to score.
"But I guess the most important thing was that we won," he added.
"The pressure is [always] there to score. Hopefully I can deal with
that and handle it in a positive way."
"I feel happy playing in this team. It is everything I thought it
would be. Ryan Giggs has been here since the beginning and says he
never wanted to go anywhere else. I don't want to go anywhere
either," the 27-year old concluded.
