The back of Manchester United John O’Shea complimented the captain of the Bulgarian national team and his teammate Dimitar Berbatov, and joked that he would prefer him… out of the game, announced Gol.bg.

“Dimitar has not yet showed his full class. The day he stepped on “Old Trafford” I knew, he was an exceptional football player. It is extremely difficult to take the ball from him during training. He has it in full control, and his passes are incredible. Dimitar is also very stable psychically, which helps him a lot in his career”, said O’Shea for the local newspaper “Independent”.

O’Shea will place against Bergatov in the qualification game between Bulgaria and Ireland in March next year. Respected by the skill of the Bulgarian player, O’Shea quipped “Hopefully, he’ll be injured for that game.”
