The problem in England is that players who don’t run around like headless chickens get called lazy. Berbatov didn’t need to run around because he was a quality player with a great footballing brain and the technical ability to match
yes, in their Physicaly most demanding most competitive league,but when EPL clubs come to EU competitions, their competitivnes and toughness suddenly disappears
@@Johndoe-gf7euFunny how Berba won the PL Golden Boot being on the bench. It was SAF's fault he didn't use him more. Berba could score 30-40 per season. Especially funny was when SAF left his top goalscorer - Berba, out of the CL final squad. The moment I saw Owen in the team instead of Berba I knew Barca will win with ease.
This is the game where Sir Alex saw Phil Jones, even losing the game, he was still able to impress the boss. Manager saw some talent in him, and he played well under him.
Stellar from Berba but what makes me more impressed is how Rooney celebrated each and every goal like it was his own even though he didn't get on the scoresheet..Too much selfishness thesedays
@imamoronand9199 No you just don't like Rooney for some reason. You're not a proper ManUtd fan if you don't like Rooney (you're not actually a knowledgeable ManUtd fan if you like Berbaflop). Berba fans don't like admittng how much Berba relied on Rooney. Even the season earlier when Rooney was on fire until his injury, not only did Rooney's goals stop after the injury that season but Berba's lame tally (which was about the same amount as ManUtd scored via own goals that season) didn't extend either.
Berbatov was a pleasure to watch when he wanted to play. Extremely talented and underestimated. In UK football to succeed you should run 90 min. Not always suitable for a really cleaver player.
Berbatov's playstyle was lowkey ahead of its time. Somewhere between a false 9 with great touch along with his vision, and a true goal poacher who's ready to strike at moment's notice. He might be comparable to Benzema, but his playstyle was more elegant.
Lol you compared him to a better player so for all the world it looks like when you say "but" you're going to say something like "but...obviously not quite at that level nor anywhere near as consistent nor anywhere near as much of a big game player as Benzema"...but no after the "but" you say something which indicates that you think Berbaflop is better than Benzema. Typical delusional Berba fans.
Let's see his qualities from this video: Good in the air, great first touch, great tiki taka passing ability (one touch football), good dribbling ability, good link up play, great finisher. Bro is Messi but traded speed for aerial ability.
Haha, Berba fans were looking forward to this video they were getting ready to exaggerate his quality and also his time at ManUtd but the start revealed something they would've never admitted, he hadn't scored in 6 or 7 games before this, typical Berba.
Alex Ferguson was treating him like shit. That was the problem. At Tottenham, Martin Jol had built the attack around him and Berba was scoring left and right. Alex Ferguson had his priorities with Rooney, Ronaldo and that headless chicken Tevez. Berbatov was always his second choice.
Not really, you could see the decline beginning after 2009, Ferguson worked wonders to keep the team competitive. By 2011, most of the squad was either aging or just average. Players like Berbatov (already 30), Chicharito (a fantastic sub but not really starter material), and Nani were carrying the load. Rooney was still good but clearly not the same force he once was. Then in 2013, it was basically Robin van Persie, at 30, single-handedly winning the league. United were relying on a few world-class players who were nearing or past their peak, and as a fan, I could see that the team’s future beyond a few years looked bleak.
Bro, Berbatov is way more technically gifted. The only reason his career didn't last as long was because he lost interest in football after winning everything.
@@benedictjajo absolutely agree. I am just saying he wasn't like regular forward at the time who is waiting the ball in penalty box. But It seemed to me that Berbatov was abruptly and undeservedly stopped being put in the start because Man Utd bought van Persie
Hello. Have you ever considered reposting videos of more recent players? I have 2 videos which showcase the trademark link up between Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud in AC Milan colours and many more individual skills players of this day and age pull off. How can I contact you so we may discuss creating this type of content?
And this guy Dimitar Berbatov lost the elections for president for the Football union in Bulgaria, imagine how corrupted and stupid is the situation here, instead some idiot with the nickname Gonzo was picked up :)
What's with the edit? Why have you included the random bits of bad passing and him losing the ball? Also, they were all sitters except the last goal, you could argue he just got lucky. Definitely not a MASTERPIECE.
How highly do you rate Berbatov? 🤔👇
11 out of 10
I fucking love the guy. Truly sublime first touch.
so elegant in his play, an absolute master at work
10/10
100 out of 10. GENIUS!
"I know Nani, he likes tricks. So I that's why I don't hurry" 🤣
People used to judge him for low energy and lack of involvement but that statement puts that to rest.
2:44 Here the start of the particular play of the goal
What a unique no9. He had so much class and style in his play. And the first touch was magical. Wish we got to see him more.
Rooney and Berbatov was deadly duo. 😢😢😢😢😢 Amazing players perfect era
I can proudly say i watched this match live. I witnessed Berbatov magic that day❤
The problem in England is that players who don’t run around like headless chickens get called lazy. Berbatov didn’t need to run around because he was a quality player with a great footballing brain and the technical ability to match
Meanwhile most of the best premier league players were grafters who ran for 90 minutes.
yes, in their Physicaly most demanding most competitive league,but when EPL clubs come to EU competitions, their competitivnes and toughness suddenly disappears
😂 maybe 20 years ago. Nobody thinks like that any anymore. Lazy assessment
@@AndrewLaReal Only clowns or children think football is better now
@@daviddesousavieira3753 only clowns who can’t grow up think football hasn’t evolved
The beautiful part is he comes back to defend … you see him in midfield he links up and still pops up in the box …. Beautiful display
One of the most technically gifted and elegantly playing players for United. Ever!
D.Berbatov Score Penta-goal in blackburn rovers. This game alwasy remember Dimitir Berbatov. Lovely Striker, Skill and techinics.
I remember watching this match and celebrating every goal Berbatov scored with so much happiness. 😁
Me too bro, what a joy😢
He makes everything look so easy
One of the greatest to ever play the game.
Was never considered the best striker in the world in his career and yet he's light years better than any current striker considered to be world class
Harry Kane is much better than him
@@kirapoodle LOL Please dont compare this legend to Kane bruh, just because you can run up and down the pitch doesn make you a great player
He s very smooth and classy .. like Zidane..
one of my favourite united players, so creative to make up for the pace
2:30 - a clear penalty!
With VAR he has 6 goals.
united fans you will never play football this beautiful again.
Do not make me cry
Love this commentator - so chilled out
"SUICIDAL PASS FROM CHIMBONDA!!" LMAO
Ah, back when a Man United striker scoring "only" 20 goals a season was considered a flop
Dont think it was that think it was because we bought him to be a starter and he was mainly a bench player,
@@Johndoe-gf7euFunny how Berba won the PL Golden Boot being on the bench. It was SAF's fault he didn't use him more. Berba could score 30-40 per season.

As a Chelsea fan I respect the Bulgarian Bull
He created so much trouble for the whole league you just got to respect it
This is the game where Sir Alex saw Phil Jones, even losing the game, he was still able to impress the boss. Manager saw some talent in him, and he played well under him.
What a ballet dancer what a painter what a footballer ♥
Stellar from Berba but what makes me more impressed is how Rooney celebrated each and every goal like it was his own even though he didn't get on the scoresheet..Too much selfishness thesedays
bro u just like rooney
No he's right, Rooney had the winning mentality. If that was Mbappe he would get annoyed and sour. Rooney encouraged the whole team.@@imamoronand9199

Berbatov absolute class player
The time United forwards are more keen to pass to each other and play flowing football than taking a shot
Old school centre forwards linking up together. Free flowing game. Glory days of the prem before Pep ruined it
Sorry, but there was NOTHING “old school Centre forward” about Berbatov!
@@unclefatblokethen u havent watched him play....
Ruined it how? By being tactically better than the other managers in the league? Come on now lol
@@skeethh tm pep changed the game when he came to the prem
VAR and the real emergence of early tactically fouling. Is what has really affected the end product in the Premier League.
A player with the highest ratio of slowness with his body / quickness with his brain
What a player he was too 🎉

Typical delusional Berba fans.
@FootkerSnooball Actually not a big fan either. I just respect his game, that's all.
Benzema's damn great too.
Greetings from Burgas, Bulgaria :)
Underrated player ever in Man united colors
can’t imagine a match like this being played in the 2024 game
Kane molded his game around him
Dimitar Berbatov Is The Best⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Nice edit. Thanks for uploading
Let's see his qualities from this video:
Good in the air, great first touch, great tiki taka passing ability (one touch football), good dribbling ability, good link up play, great finisher.
Bro is Messi but traded speed for aerial ability.
We miss this United of old 🙏💯
What a time, hits different ❤
He actually has very good strength.
I miss this era😢
Also a reminder of Rooney's willingness/ability to support the other striker.
Effortlessly
What a performance
Finally! Man U is playing like they should!
Most elegant center forward of all time
It's not about the speed, but how you play it, it's all about control
Not just 5 goals but a 5 star perfomance. Baller
Haha, Berba fans were looking forward to this video they were getting ready to exaggerate his quality and also his time at ManUtd but the start revealed something they would've never admitted, he hadn't scored in 6 or 7 games before this, typical Berba.
What a 9!
11 game drought before this “explosion”. I wish Berbatov had the same confidence at United that he had at Tottenham.
Alex Ferguson was treating him like shit. That was the problem. At Tottenham, Martin Jol had built the attack around him and Berba was scoring left and right. Alex Ferguson had his priorities with Rooney, Ronaldo and that headless chicken Tevez. Berbatov was always his second choice.
@@drnick40 Exactly
How would he have performed in a tiki taka barcelona? That is something I'dlove to see
No doubt in my mind he would have been an excellent false 9.
Back then when UTD has legendary players😢
Amazing partner and player! Rooney and berbatov
Pep guardiola would have loved Berba
0:12, 1:30, 2:45, 3:15 (Nani), 3:54, 4:22.
Rafael and Fabio still playing in Brazil.
A good striker
Even though this video is about Berba, my obession with Rooney has increased my bias lol. Rooney and any player is a good combo.
Imagine we'd him Triple Captain in FPL in that match😮😊
They used to have so much quality the fall off is insane

Big night for the Wrigleys, Big Sam and Big Fergie having a chewing night.
Berbatov like Kane nowadays. Pulls back to start attack like playmaker
Kate needed Watkins in euros
Bro, Berbatov is way more technically gifted.
The only reason his career didn't last as long was because he lost interest in football after winning everything.
@@benedictjajo absolutely agree. I am just saying he wasn't like regular forward at the time who is waiting the ball in penalty box.
But It seemed to me that Berbatov was abruptly and undeservedly stopped being put in the start because Man Utd bought van Persie
although he didn't score too much goals in man utd, all of his performance was remarkable.
I think he has 56 goals, bro.
He has more goals than Cantona 😅 but one is legend the other one flop
The times when we Bulgarians still had football players... now is so bad..
what an assist by chimbonda
This is the match Sam Allardyce shown the Blackburn players clips of gladiator and 300 before the game and told them to go out there like warriors. 😂
When will United play like this again?....
♥
Is that Crofty commentating?
Should have been awarded a penalty, too. Could have had 6 goals!
I wish we had a berbatov now...just what United need now..we only have sprinters with zero creativity
And no brains..

Blackburn though
And Nani was still playing until very recently btw
Nani will always be underrated because he had to fill Ronaldo shoes ! Nani would walk into the united side right now with ease 😅
We're going to witness this again through Joshua Zirkzee.
Slow down there, one step at a time. 👌
Hope…
Close knit match
Whos the 2nd commentator?
Paddy Crerand.
Ferguson doesn't heem happy. What happened?
Berbatov always shone brightest against the small teams, he was like that at Spurt too.
in the national team too.
It was a pen
BURBATOFF!
Pep is a great manager..but there's soo much lack of talent in the EPL.. technically gifted skillful and intelligent players nowadays.
Wow, the amount of times he lost the ball and made a wrong pass! SAF would've grilledhim for that haha
Berbatov look like jesse pinkman lol 😂
he could do with a goal💀
Tf is Blackburn
Zirkzee
And this guy Dimitar Berbatov lost the elections for president for the Football union in Bulgaria, imagine how corrupted and stupid is the situation here, instead some idiot with the nickname Gonzo was picked up :)

its more about his touch , not just exquisite passing and goals
Just say you don’t know anything about football?
One of the greatest to ever play the game
