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
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
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.
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?
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
"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.

Meanwhile most of the best premier league players were grafters who ran for 90 minutes.

😂 maybe 20 years ago. Nobody thinks like that any anymore. Lazy assessment
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.
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
He makes everything look so easy

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,
I remember watching this match and celebrating every goal Berbatov scored with so much happiness. 😁
Me too bro, what a joy😢
Love this commentator - so chilled out
The time United forwards are more keen to pass to each other and play flowing football than taking a shot
one of my favourite united players, so creative to make up for the pace
One of the greatest to ever play the game.
Berbatov always shone brightest against the small teams, he was like that at Spurt too.
One of the greatest to ever play the game
Kane molded his game around him
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.
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
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
Nice edit. Thanks for uploading
What a time, hits different ❤
Underrated player ever in Man united colors
Not just 5 goals but a 5 star perfomance. Baller
Most elegant center forward of all time
can’t imagine a match like this being played in the 2024 game
Dimitar Berbatov Is The Best⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
What a 9!
although he didn't score too much goals in man utd, all of his performance was remarkable.
A player with the highest ratio of slowness with his body / quickness with his brain
He actually has very good strength.
2:30 - a clear penalty!
I miss this era😢
Rafael and Fabio still playing in Brazil.
11 game drought before this “explosion”. I wish Berbatov had the same confidence at United that he had at Tottenham.
Amazing partner and player! Rooney and berbatov
Pep guardiola would have loved Berba
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.
BURBATOFF!
Blackburn though
Berbatov like Kane nowadays. Pulls back to start attack like playmaker
Kate needed Watkins in euros
Bro, Berbatov is way more technically gifted.

I wish we had a berbatov now...just what United need now..we only have sprinters with zero creativity
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 😅

Zirkzee
what an assist by chimbonda
Wow, the amount of times he lost the ball and made a wrong pass! SAF would've grilledhim for that haha
Is that Crofty commentating?
We're going to witness this again through Joshua Zirkzee.
Slow down there, one step at a time. 👌
Should have been awarded a penalty, too. Could have had 6 goals!
It was a pen
he could do with a goal💀
Pep is a great manager..but there's soo much lack of talent in the EPL.. technically gifted skillful and intelligent players nowadays.
Whos the 2nd commentator?
Paddy Crerand.

its more about his touch , not just exquisite passing and goals
