Berbatov has quit Bulgaria’s national team at only 29 years old. The announcement comes as a surprise as the striker became Bulgaria’s all time leading scorer last November when he scored his 48th goal on his 74th appearance.

“It was a difficult decision but sometimes we have to take difficult decisions,”

“I didn’t discuss it with (United manager) Alex Ferguson. I did it with my father and my agent.”

“I felt tired at times and I also know there are skilful young lads in the national team who look forward to their chance.”

Berbatov felt tired? I guess that would explain his laziness on the pitch.

It was obviously a move to try and concentrate solely on his club career. The Bulgarian has come under a lot of pressure for not performing at Old Trafford and if he wants  to stay he needs to bring more to the table.
