Former Coventry City striker Michael Mifsud has said that he feels let down by people who have tried to undermine his credibility.

Speaking to the Maltese press after becoming the leading goalscorer for his country last Wednesday, Mifsud, who is still seeking a move to a foreign club said: "I have been let down by people who tried to undermine my credibility in recent months. "There has been a lot of negative talk and in some sections of the media, critics have used my situation to stir controversy before international matches.

"I have always approached the game in a professional way and I wouldn't blame the coach were he to drop me for not being 100% fit or because I am not giving my all in training but this has not been the case.

"We did some tests recently and the results showed that I'm one of the fittest players in the national squad. Furthermore, I think my performances in the last matches prove that I deserve to be in the team.

"I've also been dismayed to receive three anonymous letters from so-called supporters. These are not genuine fans because if they were, they would not have written the stuff they did.

"On the positive side, I've received a lot of support from several people who continued to believe in me. I want to convey my gratitude to Teamsport for their unstinting backing.

"I always like to say that I prefer to do my talking on the pitch. That's what I have done in the past and that's exactly what I intend to keep doing."
