Since you're a Villa fan, I guess you should know they are best friends with Stiliyan Petrov. When Berbatov came to CSKA Sofia Stiliyan was the first man to talk to him and get him into the way the team was playing. Later they continued their friendship and transferred their common plays in the Bulgarian national team. Shortly after Stan was diagnosed with leukaemia Berbatov published a letter he had been writing to him for all the years both had been playing football. Now Berbatov is a candidate for president of the Bulgarian Football Union with Stan being one of his assistants. Even if I am a Man United fan, I am a Bulgarian before all. And I also will never forget what Stiliyan Petrov did for this team. Both of them were more than awesome players. Stan, the tenacious box-to-box midfielder, who never stops running and wanting the ball. And Berbatov, the striker, who always was two moves before the defenders and always knew what to do with the ball before even touching it. Legends forever. So sad Bulgaria no longer has players like them.

Aka jealous people who don't recognize soccer talent. He was very energetic and fast.

not slow paced pure class gifted foresight your right a exceptional player

mm... as scholes has once said - about doing the right thing as a certain player than doing some over the top things on the reason why he never try to over run or do extra step overs despite his talent. It is same with Berba. He does the right thing which is more productive and still stylish and amazing. makes things look so easy peasy...

As football fan I just love him .wat a player super talented.lotss of lv

Berbatov was the Bulgarian version of Cantona/Le Tissier/Zlatan

Брато, това е вярно, че феновете на Тотнъм и Манчестър Юнайтед го уважават повече от самите българи, но той това си го е заслужил, защото според мен можеше да постигне много повече неща за националките, поне голове щеше да вкара, щеше да бъде много полезен за отбора, но той какво направи на 30 години се отказа от националния, кой каквото и където си е заслужил 😏

Manchester United when they played like this were the best team in the world in my opinion. Look at the crisis they're in now

It's easy to see why we struggling to b 4th

3 of them are definitely the best players of their country ever. No wonder we were unnstopeable.

Add Nani off the bench and giggs to that mix too and you have a UCL winning team

@@elyeicovanterco6093 yeah all of them are except tevez, but yeah they were deadly, it was scary for me as an Arsenal fan

@@elyeicovanterco6093 Berbatov isn't the best Bulgarian player ever

@@BugWalk 😮

No he actually used a basketball, becouse at one point his family couldn’t afford football

Mario Rusinov spot on, I remember he said that!

@@BugWalk what a great memory, thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoyed Bulgaria!

Most football playgrounds in Bulgaria are still like that. Very few have a carpet.

Lukaku is nothing. Poor gay

Ahahah cuz he is bulgarian❤️

berbatov first touch is second to none.

Lukaku probably dreams only about food. He cant even dream of Berbatov's touch.

Check your records lukakau has scored many premier legue goals than berbatov actually lukaku is in top 28 premier legue goal scorers of all time he got 100+ goals

:D

😀😀😀😀😁😁😁

Saha left that summer to Everton fam

You also fail to mention O’Shea among that defense, I’d definitely place him ahead of Evans. Scored in the first leg against Arsenal in the semifinals of the CL that season

...and then perfect pass!

Hahaha

Rashford and Martial are still young. They can be very good players. Need the right temperament and some very good players with them.

i like martial he is very talented

Rashford has great potential.

But martial is lazy

Well, he did spend a lot of time on the pitch standing still...

@Kamen Braykov Why are Bulgarians so biased towards Berbatov? He was no Stoictkov, he achieved nothing with Bulgaria national team, he never won the champions league and for ManUtd he was Berbaflop, a waste of 30million. That goal at 2:12 was his only ManUtd goal against a top5 team in his 4 seasons at the club so definitely no statue for him sorry only legends get statues. He never won the FAcup either and he singlehandedly cost ManUtd at least 2 FAcup's in semi-finals 2008/09 & 2010/11 and those 2 seasons were actually much better ones from him compared to his other 2 and 2009/10 overall he was abysmal and played a part in destroying ManUtd's bid to win a record 4th PL title in a row, played in the 3rd round FAcup match vs Leeds where ManUtd lost to the 3rd tier team at home, scored no champions league goals etc...He only scored 5 champions league goals altogether in 4 seasons and they were all group stage goals, 2 vs Aalborg in his first season 08/09, 2 at home to Celtic same season and then his next and last was 3 years later in his final season at home to Benfica which still wasn't enough to get through the group. So no important champions league goals or performances worth mentioning. His best season 2010/11 Hernandez was still ManUtd's most important striker. He scored just 1 less overall but scored in a lot more games than Berbatov and many close games. A quarter of Berbatov's goals that season came in 1 game vs Blackburn in a 7-1 win which sums him up because it was a game ManUtd would've won anyway without his goals but when it's a much more important time where he has some really good chances vs a better team at 0-0 he misses them, fails to score any and ManUtd go on to narrowly lose.

@@kevinsavuwa Yeah well whatever you call him, it didn't work at ManUtd that's a fact. Also he wasn't an important player for the only giant club he ever played for. Him coming to ManUtd made Tevez leave, therefore ManUtd didn't have as much success as they would've maintained with Tevez. Obviously the arrival of Javier Hernandez helped but this was after the 4 in a row record was already lost.

@@cddb5408 I know you - you are one of those that say that Messi never accomplished anything with his national team. That he is only good thanks to Iniesta and Xavi. That him coming made Ronaldinho leave. Obviously the arrival of Suarez helped but that was after 4 in a row record was already lost! Fuck off you silly little man! You know nothing of football - bulgarians might be blinded and biased towards Berbatov, but they dont hate on Tevez or Rooney - go with your bullshit statistics somewhere else - if footbal was statistics - Usain Bolt would of been the most prolific striker ever! But he is not - and you are not a smart man either!

@@dididimilo6307 well said brother. in football stats are almost irrelevant. if they matter then great midfielders and fullbacks would be ranked below bottom tier striker

Berbatov scored 0 in 7 CL games that season

​@@fitnesse9055But became the Premier League top scorer...

​@@smarty-br8ogOne of the most overrated seasons in football history. 13 of his 20 goals were in 5 games. He regularly went on goal droughts and was dropped for Chicharito by the end of the season

True. He made them look easy. Master.

I never thought that. He just saved his energy whilst others ran like headless chickens.

Fitting they became World champions in 2008 then wasn't it lol

I’d say in 2007 it was still ac Milan, from 2008 to 2009 defo Man United

2009 Chelsea was the best team

@@nishhnishh1088 where?

Arjun अर्जुन् * 2010

thats a good point, they made the right decisions and shared tings for each other and the team. Forwards need to be greedy, but also have to know when to give the ball to the other guy!

Karim Benzema

To be fair, a lot of Berba's goals were first touch

Alexander Stoyanov looserpool schut up best team in the premium league

@@sebastienlecluyse661 lolol sure thing mate but in another universe :)

Because of the perfect attacking positioning maybe?One of the most important things for one complete forward...Basics of football...
