Dimitar Berbatov: I never told my team mates about getting kidnapped | Sesko needs more ANGER!

Welcome to another episode of Rio Meets where Rio sits down with a former team mate and ends up learning so much more about them, despite sharing a dressing room for years at Manchester United. You’ll see a completely different side to Dimitar Berbatov who discuses the impact his father refusing to say, “I love you” had on him, along with a gang kindapping him when he was aged 18 in Bulgaria. He is refreshingly honest about the toughest moments in his career and details the resilience and strength of character that he used following tough times in his home country. There is brilliant analysis of playing up front with Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo and he also analyses the current strikers in the game including Erling Haaland, Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane who Berbatov says is the most similar to his own style. The former Man Utd and Spurs striker gives his advice to the latest striker to arrive at Old Trafford, Benjamin Sesko, and details how 4 text messages made him realise exactly the sort of club he was joining when Sir Alex Ferguson signed him on deadline day in 2008.
