Still the most effective player in the English Premier League, Dimitar Berbatov, who scored two goals for his team, claims that the victory in the dramatic away match against Blackpool was achieved thanks to team spirit.
As we reported yesterday, in the postponed 16th round match, the footballers defeated the opponents from Blackpool with a score of 3-2.
"We are a team that, no matter how poorly the match is going - whether we are losing 0-1 or 0-2 - always believes that if we score one goal, we can score more. And that's what happened today," the Bulgarian told ESPN television.
"We fought as a team, especially in the second half. The first half of the match was not successful, Blackpool played better, but after the break we showed spirit and won.
The quality of the pitch was not as good as at Old Trafford, which caused some discomfort as the ball was bouncing around. Our opponents played good football and scored two decent goals. Fortunately, we were only 0-2 behind. In the locker room, we told ourselves: "we can do this". And we did.
Yes, the substitutions changed the rhythm of the game. Giggs's experience, passes, and cleverness tipped the scales in our favor. 'Chicharito' always strives to score, his mind is focused solely on goals. Today he proved that. I also scored a good goal, actually two, but the victory was determined by team spirit," Berbatov humbly concluded.
