Sheffield Wednesday defender Di’Shon Bernard is feeling more confident in his abilities as he prepares to face his former team, Hull City, in the Yorkshire derby on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old recently scored his first goal in 101 EFL games during a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City, marking a significant moment in his career since his last goal for Salford City in January 2021.
In a recent interview with BBC Radio Sheffield, Bernard admitted that he was not satisfied with his performance at the start of the season, attributing it to a lack of a full pre-season. However, he expressed that he is now feeling much better and more confident in his abilities on the field. Despite a red card early in the season, Bernard has played every minute of league football that he has been available for and believes that he is nearing his best form.
“I’m looking much better on the ball, much better defensively,” Bernard shared. “I’m always trying to keep working hard and improving. Hopefully, I can stay consistent with these performances.”
Having spent the previous season on loan at Hull City from Manchester United, where he made 28 appearances in the Championship, Bernard is eager to return to face his former team. He expressed his excitement about playing at the MKM Stadium again and hopes for a positive outcome for Sheffield Wednesday in the upcoming match.
As Bernard continues to grow in confidence and improve his performance on the field, fans of Sheffield Wednesday can look forward to seeing more consistent and impactful displays from the talented defender. His dedication to hard work and self-improvement serves as a testament to his commitment to success in his career.
In addition to his contributions on the field, Bernard’s journey and development as a player offer inspiration to aspiring footballers who may face challenges or setbacks in their own careers. His perseverance and determination to overcome obstacles serve as a reminder that with hard work and belief in oneself, anything is possible in the world of football and beyond.
