Old Trafford is just the place for a maverick like Berbatov

By | September 5, 2008

Berbatov looks back

Manchester United has proved the natural home for maverick showmen in the past and Dimitar Berbatov can become a worthy successor to those who have graced Old Trafford before him.

The 27-year-old Bulgaria captain, who joined United after two memorable years at Tottenham Hotspur, should instantly win over United fans who have previously worshipped strikers like Denis Law, George Best and Eric Cantona.

Berbatov has outstanding balance and control, is capable of devastating finishes and boasts the deftest of touches. He displayed all those qualities in Tottenham’s thrilling 6-4 Premier League win over Reading last December when he scored four times.

Among his goals was a superb shot on the turn, executed in a way that made it look simple when it was anything but, and he blasted home another shot that nearly took the net off its supports.

Read Mike Collett’s full appreciation of Berbatov’s talents on our main website here.

Strange results signify little… but we can all dream, can’t we?

By | September 5, 2008

Van NReal Madrid and Barcelona lose their opening matches in Spain, Bayern Munich have to wait until their third game to taste victory under Juergen Klinsmann, AC Milan lose while Juve and Inter can only draw in Italy and three games in, not one of the big four in England’s Premier League can muster a 100 percent record…

It would be nice, wouldn’t it, to read something in to all this.

Smaller clubs that are nimbler in the transfer market have made a series of astute buys while we were watching the Olympics and the soccer superpowers were trying to prise away each other’s big stars, you might say. Once great names like Atletico Madrid, Schalke 04, Lazio and Manchester City are at or near the top of their leagues and are ready to rise again!

We’re all too wise to fall for any of that, though, aren’t we? After all, the big leagues are just three games in at the most and none of us really doubts that normal service will be resumed once the international week is out of the way.

But at the risk of sounding hopelessly naive, perhaps this year will see a bit of a shake up.

Don’t Liverpool and Arsenal look a bit more vulnerable to challenges for top-four places in the Premier League? Might Juergen Klinsmann and Pep Guardiola find it tough in their first seasons in charge of big clubs?

Doesn’t Real Madrid’s failure to get Cristiano Ronaldo mean they’ll be short of a touch of inspiration? And, given all that’s happened, is there much chance of the Portuguese forward producing another season of such sustained brilliance for United?

I’m as resigned as anyone to the idea of the big league titles going to the usual suspects, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they face a few more bumps in the road this time.
