9. DIMITAR BERBATOV

Birthdate: 30 Jan 1981
Birthplace: Blagoevgrad
Position: Striker
Appearances: 42
Goals: 14
Joined United: 01 Sep 2008
United Debut: 13 Sept 2008 v Liverpool (A)
International Bulgaria

Dimitar Berbatov is a classy and complete centre-forward, pairing the ability to ruthlessly and regularly find the net inside the box with the aptitude to create moments of sheer magic outside it.

Sir Alex likes players with plenty of charisma in the way they play, and the Bulgarian’s languid style is instantly recognisable on the field. It’s also an approach that has drawn comparisons with former United talisman Eric Cantona.

Like the captivating Frenchman, Berbatov loves to entertain with the ball at his feet, and he also shares Cantona's happy knack for scoring important (often late) goals,
which he showed more than once in his first season at United.

Berbatov started out at Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia. He joined The Armymen aged 17, following in the footsteps of his father, Ivan, who also played for the club.

He was a regular goalscorer and his talent quickly attracted attention from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, who made their move in January 2001 after Berba's impressive start to the season for CSKA. National-team captain Berbatov made a slow start in Germany, but he regularly shone in the Champions League.

The only blot on his copybook is that he was part of the Leverkusen team that knocked United out of the Champions League semi finals in April 2002. He came on as a substitute in the final as the Germans lost 2-1 to Real Madrid.

Berbatov was eventually lured to the Premier League when Tottenham signed him in July 2006 for a reported £10.9million fee. He scored 23 goals in his opening season, which he matched again in 2007/08.

After months of speculation linking him with a move to Old Trafford in the summer of 2008, Sir Alex Ferguson finally got his man on transfer deadline day with just minutes to go. Berbatov signed a four-year contract on 1 September 2008 for an undisclosed fee.

Berbatov opened his account for the Reds the same month with two goals away at Aalborg in the Champions League, but was unfortunate to miss out on the Club World Cup in December through injury.

He struck up an effective partnership with Wayne Rooney in his debut season and finished with 14 goals in all competitions, including crucial league strikes against Middlesbrough, Bolton and Chelsea, as well as countless assists to help United to the title.

Community Shield: Dimitar Berbatov to step up and become Manchester United's focal point
As ever, main stage at the Theatre of Dreams belongs to the man in the number seven shirt.


TELEGRAPH

After four years in the shadows, Michael Owen has been cast into the spotlight once more by the controversy, rancour and shock of a former Anfield hero's defection to Old Trafford.

Fabio Capello, sitting in the directors' box watching his home debut in Manchester United's friendly win over Valencia on Wednesday, is simply the most high-profile of 55 million fascinated observers.

Nothing less should be expected in a World Cup year. England's hopes in South Africa may yet rest on Owen's ability to forge an understanding with Wayne Rooney, to convince the sceptical Italian that, despite almost a decade of unremitting injury troubles, he is worthy of inclusion in his squad for the finals.

Owen's move, a tale of risk and rebirth infused with a frisson of betrayal, has captured the imagination, not least of Sir Alex Ferguson, delighted at landing a player he has tracked for 15 years.

Yet the Scot is too pragmatic to allow romance to affect his decisions. Owen may be the story of the summer, but for Ferguson, it will be another striker who is the story of the season.

It almost seems strange to say that Dimitar Berbatov, the enigmatic Bulgarian of the insouciant penalty that handed Everton a place in the FA Cup final, is United's record signing. Ferguson is almost beyond criticism at this stage of his career, but one of the few failings generally attributed to him is an inability to spend big money well.

He may have bought Rio Ferdinand, Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy for princely sums, but he deemed Juan Sebastian Veron worth £28 million, while doubts remain over the wisdom of signing Nani, Anderson and Owen Hargreaves. The question marks hover, too, over Berbatov.

His first season following his £30.75 million switch from Tottenham was disappointing. He made his debut at Anfield, burning brightly for 10 minutes before Liverpool took control, an allegory for his campaign.

Nine league goals from 31 appearances, and only two during the season's climax. He started neither of the Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal, and was left on the bench for more than an hour in the final. Overshadowed by Rooney and Ronaldo, he ended the campaign United's forgotten force.

"He probably has something to prove in the sense of his own thoughts about his first year with us," says Ferguson. "It's difficult to say if his confidence took a knock, but there aren't many players, especially strikers, who aren't at the mercy of their confidence. That's the nature of the position.

"We were a bit unfair to him last season but we know how to use him this time. He won't be playing in deep midfield positions where he found himself a lot last year. He's got to be in the last third, where he is a threat.

"We saw him like that, playing deep, at Tottenham and maybe we were wrong there. Once we realised, before the end of the season, he started playing further up the pitch. He's on the same level as Rooney and Owen, there's no doubt about that. I think he'll be the focal point of our team this year."

That should enthuse Owen, always at his best when playing off a creative target man, as well as Rooney and Federico Macheda, the young Italian whom Ferguson reserves his most gushing tones for.

The number seven may stand in the limelight, but it is the number nine who must take the chance to shine .

Rooney: Berbatov Makin Buas

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Penyerang Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, memuji kemajuan latihan rekan setimnya, Dmitar Berbatov. Menurutnya, permainan Berbatov semakin berkembang dan buas.

Musim lalu, Berbatov banyak mendapat celaan karena kurang rajin mengejar bola dan kurang tajam. Sejumlah pendukung bahkan berpendapat, Barbatov sebaiknya meninggalkan Old Trafford karena permainannya tak sesuai dengan "Setan Merah".

Celaan itu tak membuat Berbatov menyerah. Ia menerima hujan kritik itu sebagai motivasi membentuk karakter permainan baru yang lebih mendukung kerja tim.

Berbatov sendiri memilih diam soal hasil latihannya. Ia merasa tidak perlu membicarakan sejauh mana keberhasilannya. Ia ingin performa di lapangan yang membuktikan betapa keras ia berusaha.

Melihat itu, Rooney berinisiatif memberitakan kemajuan latihan Berbatov. Ia ingin pendukung dan pesaing melihat bahwa Berbatov bisa diandalkan menjadi mesin gol Manchester United musim depan.

"Anda bisa melihatnya dalam latihan dan pertandingan pramusim bahwa Dimitar terlihat semakin tajam dan sedikit berbeda. Ia semakin memiliki tekad, turun ke belakang membantu bek sayap," ujar Rooney.

"Ia tentunya bekerja keras dan mencoba untuk menjadi menarik. Ia adalah pemain brilian. Ia tentunya lebih baik ketika penuh energi dan menyentuh bola. Ini tentang keseimbangan, kurasa," tambahnya. (DM)

halah..
mana buktinyaa..
buktikan dilapangan..

sampe 50 kalo perlu...
baru deh gue bisa bilang berbatov semakin buas...

[jisung#13]

makin berkelas sih menurut gue berba musim ini...touchnya menggila....udah makkin bersemangat dalam mengejar bola...tapi terkadang menurut gue yang bikin dia itu unik dia stiker tapi mempunyai visi...dia tau bola harus dioper kemana...

jadi mungkin di buka type finisher seperti wayne rooney, tapi tipe yang ngebuka ruang, trus ngasih assist oke...hehehe...

ayo berba semangat!!!

[Ucup Carrick]

gua senang berba dah mulai rajin ngejar bola..meski larinya masih payah kecepatannya...
biar bisa lebih cepat lagi mungkin Fergie kudu kasi special training dari Usain Bolt..
atau Berba disuruh sprint dibrondong senapan ke kakinya...atau lepasin satu macan buat ngejar dia...
:devil1: :devil1: :devil1:
huahahahaha....:army:

[Mahesa_Jenar]

Lawan Wigan kemarin dia rajin naik turun Brow.. Umpan-umpannya juga berkelas, satu backflicknya yang hebat (too bad) gagal diselesaikan Scholes. golnya juga hebat.. kelihatannya udah mulai paham tuh dengan gaya United yang cepat.. Asal konsisten aja, dia cepat atau lambat akan mendapat tempat di hati penggemar..
Konsisten Berba.. and we'll love you as we love the other United players...

dari jaman Berba di leverkusen trus ke hotspur dan sekarang di United... perasaan Berba lari nya emang gak pernah kencang bro Ucup... :D

jadi walapun di training dengan segala macam cara... kecepatan lari nya tetap aja segitu... udah dari sana nya kliatan nya... :amazed:

tapi yang buat berba berbeda adalah cara dia keeping ball nya dan memberikan umpan kepada pemain lain layak nya seorang playmaker... IMO... :peace:

[neoradtz]

kalo kata saya, Berba yang megang 'gimmick' pertandinga-pertandingan MU musim ini :D.. Dia yang bakal kasih 'sparkle' di pertandingan-pertandingan United musim ini.. Opa Charlton pernah bilang kalo United itu ga bisa lepas dari 'style'.. Segala sesuatu harus ada nilai estetis/keindahan nya :)..

Musim kemaren 'gimmick' ada di tangan 'you know laah'.. Sementara musim ini, gelagat nya sih Berba yang bakal pegang peran membuat permainan United menjadi indah.. Hopefully He'll be the miracle bringer this season :) walau mungkin tidak se eksplosif 'dia dari musim kemaren' :peace:

dan melihat kiprah nya di pre-season, ama di pertandingan2 awal, he's in the right place now.. Semoga bertahan terus!! SEMANGAT BERBA!! :D

-neo-

PS: berba tuh mukanya Italiano banget ya? kaya mafia.. campuran kah? :malu:

[Red Army]

setelah Ronaldo pergi, berba jd my hero, bersyukur penampilannya makin meningkat krn makin percaya diri, dulu waktu pertama kali gabung United penampilannya kalem, selebrasi gil dingin, ternyata katanya dia sedikit minder krn semua pemain United saat itu semua udah pernah juara, sedangkan Berba hanya Carling Cup yg notabene diluar hitungan Setan Merah tp musim ini Tsar tampil cantik, operannya maut & rajin cari bola.

[K3nny_11]

kalo soal pace lah Berbatov memank agak lacking.... BUT, dia punya body balance yang lumayan okehhh...susah direbut... reminds me of some famous names that are not so fast but tremendously strong with the ball... you all guyz inget gak ama Zidane ? Ibra ? Bergkamp ? Vieri ? errr... Cantona ?


:peace:

Berbatov: I'm still learning

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_30308_3907.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=240&hei=179&rgn=0.2634146341463414,0.013536379018612522,0.5853 658536585365,0.3028764805414552&cvt=jpeg

Dimitar Berbatov takes his art very seriously.

A born entertainer with a penchant for the unpredictable, the 28-year-old striker admits he and his colleagues relish every chance to wow the Old Trafford crowd. We recently caught up with the Bulgarian at United's Carrington training ground...


Dimitar, you’ve looked very sharp in the early part of this season. Has it helped to have a pre-season campaign and some stability, as opposed to last summer’s last-minute move to United?
It has. Pre-season is important to every player and I think now we are ready for the long season ahead. Again we are going for everything there is to win, like every year. We have a good squad. I don’t need to introduce anybody – everybody knows what Manchester United players are capable of, so we are ready to go again.

How big a relief was it to get off the mark at Wigan?
It was a relief, it is always good to start scoring. Plus, I prefer to score beautiful goals than ugly goals, and this one was really nice. I was going for the ball and aiming to catch it before him [Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland]. I did it and I was thinking: 'Now I’m going to smash it in the net!' It turns out I didn’t catch it so well, but it still ended up in the net. A goal is a goal!

How highly do you rate Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen, your fellow senior strikers?
What can you say about Wayne? He’s been here for so many years, playing top football and it’s amazing that he’s only 23. When he reaches around 28, he’ll be even better. We see in training, and you can see in games, the unbelievable passion he has for football. As for Michael Owen, he won the Ballon d’Or – that says everything. I think Sir Alex was right to bring him here and he will have the chances to score many goals for us.

You’re three very different strikers – are you learning from one another?
I don’t think you stop learning until you quit football. With all the talents we have in Manchester United, they do stuff that sometimes I honestly cannot do – and I don’t even try to do because I would look like a fool! Sometimes you want to try new stuff, you see people doing things and you ask them about it. You learn from each other. To develop, you have to.

What about Danny Welbeck and Kiko Macheda?
I think they have bright, maybe even great, futures. But if they want to achieve that then I think the only man they have to listen to is the boss. They have the potential, that’s why they’re here. If you want to achieve something you need to develop that talent. The place to do that is right here, under the boss.

What have you made of United’s start to the season?
Sometimes it takes time to start well. Against Birmingham we were probably at 70 percent, then that loss against Burnley was devastating and hurt everybody. But we struck back well against Wigan.

Was the Arsenal game the sort of match the team relishes?
It’s always good to play against your rivals for the title. The way Arsenal have started this season has been unbelievable. They have scored many goals and have players who are very technically gifted. That’s what is good about them; they play good football and move the ball around quickly. Arsene Wenger has been here so long, and he has a talent for developing young players into superstars.

Last season United’s record against other members of the ‘big four’ was one win from six games. Is that something the players are aiming to rectify this season?
It is. We didn’t do well against them, but in the end we were champions. If you ask any of the other sides which they would prefer, to beat the big teams or be champions, what do you think they would say? The main goal is to win the Premier League again. We did it last year and I think we’ll also improve our results against our rivals, but in the end it’s all about winning the Premier League.

Is it true that you’re perhaps the biggest movie buff in the United squad?
Everybody in the team watches a lot of movies, but with me it is a real hobby. When you are a foreign player in another country sometimes you have a lot of time on your hands. I am always watching movies at home. If I wanted to, I could open a video store with my DVDs! At the moment, though, I am more into watching TV shows. I watch House and Entourage, and I’m waiting for the new series of Heroes and Lost. My favourite is House, I never miss an episode.

yeah berba...keep on learning...
setelah itu buktikan di lapangan...
jangan kecewakan kami...

He probably did but not in the manner of comparing him with Rooney of course, and you should have take the hint that, that was a joke. Duh!

All I ask was the source of Berba's statement, coz you drew the blood right. I probably should read more but untill then I hope you would be kind enough to provide me with the kind of source that I asked. AND PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

Every statement have to be quoted to be able to get to other people right ? [read: transmitted] In this case, the statement gets to you, so you must have read it from somewhere. Can you please state the media in which Berba's statement was quoted, or did you just heard him saying in television?

I know that I might seem pushing it a little too far, but the complete statement would greatly help to put our perspective in context. But if you can't tell the source, we have to start with assumptions rather than facts.

http://www.manutdtalk.com/berbatov-rooney-is-better-than-ronaldo/569/

“Ronaldo was a fantastic player for us and I’m sure he will be very good for Real Madrid,” the Bulgarian told The Sun.

“But, for me, our biggest talent is and always was – even last season – Wayne Rooney.

“He is an incredible talent and will be one of the best players in Europe for many years to come.

“The scary thing with Wayne is he’s four or five years off his peak and, when you see the level he’s at now, that is almost impossible to get your head round.”

At just 23 years old, Rooney is already regarded as one of the best support strikers in Europe. His natural born talent, together with his work ethic and never-say-die attitude make him one of he Premier Leagues most feared opponents. And as Berbatov quite rightly points out, the best is yet to come.

Berbatov believes it’s his love for the game that sets him apart from the rest, and his unwillingness to hog the media spotlight allows him to focus on football.

“Wayne just loves to play football, it was what he was born to do and you can see that. He is not concerned about any of the glamour that goes with it,” Berbatov continued.

“He amazes us on the training pitch almost every day and his hunger seems to get bigger with every game.

“His attitude and love for the game reminds me of a child who could spend all day in the park with nothing but a football.”

[inside_united]

PART 1 of 2

Great! I don't know if Berba was saying that just to encourage Rooney and convince himself and the rest of the team that they will be fine after CR left. So far, all he's done is talk, talk, talk and talk, we haven't see any real improvement in terms of the team plays or goals scored since his arrival. Sure United won the league for the 3rd time in a row, but last season wasn't due to his prowess wasn't it? But that is another issue and I'm not going to go on about it. All it constitute though was that I'm not entitled to believe on what the Bulgarian had said.

So here's my take

I'm not quite big on Ronaldo, although I acknowledge that his contribution was one of the best I've seen since a long time in a United shirt. However, I always felt that the United team that was built around him by Sir Alex has its fair share when it comes to winning games.

Perhaps it was just coincidence that Ronaldo blossomed into a premier scoring machine after WC 2006, or it may have been waiting on the wing for quite some time before he unleashed it in that 2006/07 season, or perhaps Sir Alex knew what he was doing back then when he sold RvN. The fact is that Ronaldo upped his game that season, and has since became the main protagonist in a United team who went on and won three consecutive league titles along with a Champions League medal in three season. During that period, Ronaldo scored a lot of goals, one of the best scoring record in the modern era, if not the best in a United shirt. He picked up a lot of individual silverwares as well, notably the Ballon D'Or and FIFA Player of The Year Award of 2008. That was no small feat by any means, tough act to follow.

But Ronaldo has always been a controversial figure since he allegedly had a bust up with RvN back in 2005/06 season. His involvement in Rooney's sending off, his glamour lifestyle, the alleged sex party with Nani and Anderson, dating with celebrities, car accident you name it. But these are things that happened out of the pitch. But he was just as controversial on the pitch with his antiques, protests, dives, tricks and arrogancy [although when he was still with us, many of us called it CONFIDENCE].

And if United fans was always had the same admiration and adulation for the likes of Eric Cantona or Roy Keane, we weren't fully on the same page when it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo. We were divided; some of us saw him as the top dog, the savior, the new Cantona, the legend who you cannot question while others acknowledge him as a great player for United, cheering him occasionally but nothing more than that. There were also a few that won't just be bothered, their view was "as long as he scored we will close our eyes on many other disappointment that he might have caused".

One thing that we won't have an argument about him is that he is good looking, and because of that many women or girls are craving for him [even gays].

Ronaldo was, and still is, regarded by many as one of the best. Johan Cruyff once stated that the Portuguese is even better than George Best, and you won't argue with that after he broke Bestie's record for the most goals scored by a non-striker in a United shirt. And how many record has he broke? A lot that is. If you won't buy Cruyff, then Wenger, Benitez, Kaka, Schuster, and many others have been on the record telling you that Cristiano Ronaldo is a great football player, if not the best.

The 80 million pounds paid by Real Madrid will further upped his reputation, and how do you top that? Well, as for the record breaking fee, I can certainly say that Rooney won't be able to surmount it. But does that mean that talent wise, Rooney is a lesser one compared to Cristiano? No, I don't think he is.

Ronaldo is a more developed player than Rooney, I can tell you that. And he is closer to his peak, if not already, compared to Rooney. At their current respective game, Ronaldo is a more dependable player to win you games. And I believe, SAF realize this as well. Ronaldo's progression was certainly accelerating more than Rooney's.

Back in the 2005-2006 season, the whole United team was rubbish, Keane was retiring and there were no real driving force in the team. United can't even pass the group league stage in the Champions League. But it was Rooney and not Ronaldo that carried the United team to a second place position despite finishing 8 points behind the winner, Chelsea. Rooney also scored 2 goals in the Carling Cup final. His first major trophy with Man United. Where was Ronaldo? His real highlight in the season was his alleged bust-up with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

But Rooney's season with United ended when Paulo Ferreira tripped him on the game between the two title contenders on April 29th, 2006. Rooney broke his metatarsal and was a doubt for England in the World Cup 2006. That summer, Rooney did play for England in the World Cup but he would received another blow when he was sent off in a match against Portugal, involving his teammate none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Entering the 2006/07 season, Ruud van Nistelrooy was sold to Real Madrid. Media hinted that the assumed fight in a training session the season before was largely the main reason to offload United's leading goalscorers in Europe. However, we knew that he was not being used by Sir Alex way before the alleged bust up happened. Media was in frenzy, nobody took United seriously. With their main goalscorer gone, what could United do? How would they challenge for the title? As great as Rooney is, he was 21 at the time and his emotions still got the better of him more than enough times that could harm his team rather than helping them.

But Sir Alex and Cristiano Ronaldo had another idea. It turned out that Ruud's sale wasn't as poor calculation as everybody thought it would be. Ronaldo, fresh from the World Cup, full of confidence after carrying his team to the semi-final, turn on the lights. He scored goals after goals and before everyone realized it, United were crowned England Champion with him becoming the joint-top goalscorer alongside Wayne Rooney [23 goals each]. United were also flirting with the treble after reaching the FA Cup final and Champions League semifinal but lost on both occasion.

I wasn't convinced though. I always thought that on that season, Ronaldo benefitted from Ruud's departure. He was given more space and freedom to roam upfront, becoming more of a wing-forward that is usually used in a 4-3-3 scheme although United didn't quite played in that particular formation. He simply didn't required to have a responsibility on the defensive end. And moreover, he rarely showed up on the big matches against bigger opponents. Notably, the match against Milan where Kaka imposed his credibilty as the best player in the world by "teaching United a lesson in football".

Ronaldo's free role also meant that Wayne Rooney was sacrificed to the flank. With no real centre forward in the mold of Ruud, Rooney wasn't at his best playing alone upfront but it wasn't that he had a bad season. He upped his scoring record to 23 from the previous 19 the season before. But of course, Ronaldo's progress will always look more amazing since he operates from the wing position. And while that's not been always the case, it was clear that Ronaldo was listed as a winger, self-acllaimed a winger and therefore to score goals in that amount will always be deemed remarkable.

He continued his great form in the following season. At the end of the season, Ronaldo's goalscoring record in the League [31] was more than anyone ever scored for United in a single season. He was also the top goalscorer in the Champions League that season, and in all, he scored 42 goals in that season. United also won the Double, bringing a back to back Premier League championship and the third Champions League title in the club history to Old Trafford. Like it or not, that was a legendary stuff.

But the critics remained, especially the claim that he rarely shows up in big matches against bigger teams. Although he chipped it a bit with a good performance and a great goal against Chelsea in the Champions League final, I cannot give him more than that. One good performance against one of the big teams does not constitute that he has broken the duck.

He started the 2008-09 season rehabilitating his ankle after a surgery. He didn't play a single competitive match until mid-September. Still he picked up where he left off quite quickly and ended up scoring 26 goals in total for the season. United won its 3rd consecutive league title but failed in his bid to become the first team to win the Champions League consecutively since the new format was introduced.

So fair play to Cristiano, he scored a lot of goals. And by a lot, I really mean a lot. It wasn't a small feat. And to be able to do that as well as being the larger contributors for United's titles in the past three seasons is quite remarkable in itself. And he trully deserved the individual awards he grabbed a year before.

But to trully see through Ronaldo's so called "imperfection", I don't need to dig deep. I only have to present the last two Champions League final in which United were involved. I said that he played great in the first of the two, scoring a great header against Chelsea when United dominated the game. But he also failed to show up in the second half and missed a penalty in the shoot-out. Although you may argue that without Ronaldo's goal United won't be able to be in that position, from my perspective that was just another evidence where Ronaldo isn't the man that rises on the biggest of matches. He did likewise in the last final against Barcelona, looking very much a threat when United had the possesion and going forward but couldn't offer anything when we were out-possesed by the slick-passing Barcelona team. Think of Zidane in the final of 2002 Champions League, think of Zidane in the World Cup 1998, think of Ryan Giggs in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final, think of Roy Keane in the 1999 Champions League semi-final, think of Maradona in the World Cup 1986 semi-final and you will see what I'm talking about.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a weapon for United. Sir Alex Ferguson deployed him as one of the best and deadliest weapon we've ever had and it worked just perfect. The goals and the silverwares tell you all the stories. But he's not the main man that you could turn to when your team is in trouble. True that Ronaldo may broke the duck a few times for United, but it was never done in a situation where United have been dominated by its opponents. The scenarios has always been like this: United were chasing a goal, we dominated but we couldn't find a goal, Ronaldo came in and he scored a goal [probably the winning goal]. Now compare that to Roy Keane's 1999 Champions League semi-final performance.

[inside_united]

PART 2 of 2


I believe that United were set up to maximize Cristiano's talent. He's arguably the best header of the ball for a winger. He rarely injured, has a great upper body strength, and he took a lot of free kicks and shots for United. That's it... Ronaldo took a lot of shots, amazingly a lot.

Here's some stats for you:
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1839/unitedstat.gif

SH = Shot [Tembakan], SG = Shot on Goal [Tembakan ke Gawang], G = Goal [Gol], A = Assist,
G/P% = Goal/Shot Percentage GP = Games Played [Pertandingan Dimainkan], G/M% = Games/Match Percentage
data taken from soccernet.com, compiled by me

Notice that in the past three season where Ronaldo was considered a success, his statistic fluctuates a lot. In his first remarkable season, Ronaldo's assist jumped up so high from his usual outings, while in his second season his goals and the goal/shot percentage jumped up much higher. However, last season, his statistic and his goal/shot percentage went down considerably to his earlier season stats with us. He still scored a lot of goals though.

Rooney shows a more invariable stats, although a decreasing trend was shown in the last two season after his best goalscoring season for United. Rooney's stats however does not do justice, I always believe that his best season so far was the 2005/06 [2nd season with us] season. Although his stats shows that he marked a personal best in almost every category in the 2006/07 season, he was outshoned by Ronaldo's amazing sudden improvement.

I trully believe that Rooney's best position is as a support striker. A forward that operates just behind the main striker, who can take on defender and exploits the gap created by the main striker, coming off the second line to score goals or providing the pass to be finished by the main striker. I don't think it is coincidental that on these two best season [05/06,06/07] Rooney was always have a Ruud [05/06] or a Saha [06/07]. When Saha picked up injury and wasn't available to us, as was the case in 2007/08, his stats dropped a little [he got a bit of help from Henrik Larrsson that season]. And although we signed Dimitar Berbatov, who was supposedly be our main striker, the Bulgarian looked more comfortable playing as a support striker rather than fulfilling his job description in the first place. No wonder, we scored the lowest team goals in 15 years last season, eh?

As I said before, Ronaldo was a monster for us. He was used remarkably well with Queiroz on our ranks. However, he wasn't the sole reason that carried United to the title. He scored goals when United are doing well, but when United played badly, Ronaldo rarely provided a breakthrough. To add to that, he has always been a liability in big games where we needed a winger who can track back and guard the flank from opposing full-backs and wingers. We've witnessed that Rooney usually deployed on the flank on such occasions. [cue our matches against Barcelona, Arsenal and Milan where these teams usually exploits opposing teams' wide areas using their full-backs]. Mourinho's Chelsea wasn't on that list because I noticed that they use a more direct attack through the middle, imposing their central midfield who is considerably stronger than us, although they were using two attacking wingers on Mourinho's first two season in Kalou and Duff.

Ronaldo rarely got injured. This helps him to progress at a faster rate than Wayne. There is almost no setbacks for him in terms of developing as a player. His work ethic also helped him to gain a muscular upper body strength that made him such a difficult opponent to guard in a such a physical league [Premier League that is]. We also witnessed that he has developed a strong heading skill which helps him greatly in scoring goals.

But we all know that every team do well when they have a certain person who glued all the pieces together. It doesn't necessarily mean the best player on the team, but rather the heartbeat of the team. The one person that reacts and acts accordingly to the problems that he and his team encounter. This person brings out the best and makes all the pieces tick in one coordination. In Barcelona, it wasn't Messi but Xavi. In Manchester City, it wasn't Robinho but Stephen Ireland. United 1999 had Roy Keane and Milan 2006 had Kaka. It wasn't Ronaldo for United, it was, and still is, Wayne Rooney.

Rooney won't have a better heading, better dribble, or better tricks than Ronaldo or even Messi. That, I can guarantee you. But Rooney will always have a bigger heart, bigger passion, better work rate, better vision and bigger influence for United than Ronaldo. I have no doubts that even when Rooney is always regarded as an emotional person, he will produce magical moments for us in a more subtle ways rather than a powerful bullish way of Ronaldo. When I see Rooney's goals, his delicate chips, free-kicks, his touches and knacks for finding his teammates I find a glimps of what Alessandro Del Piero used to do in Adidas ads a few years ago.

As for Ronaldo's incapability to shines against the bigger teams, or at least the big four in England, Rooney has proven that he can score at these games. Remember April 24th, 2007? He has also scored a fair amount of goals against Arsenal [seems to be his favorite opposition among the big four] and Chelsea although I would have liked to see him do the same to Liverpool.

We've seen how England under Capello have put their fate in this young man. As was Eriksson's. If England can, why not United then?

And the final conclusion is...
When Berbatov said that Rooney is United's biggest talent I thought that: I don't know if Rooney is ever going to achieve what Ronaldo has achieved in terms of individual silverwares. But as to United's cause, I couldn't agree more. I've said this in my early years joining this forum, I honestly believe that Rooney is the future of Man United. Therefore, Sir Alex, all the experiment with him being on the flank, must now be stopped. If England who was built around Rooney can achieve so much in a short period of time under Capello, you surely won't mind to check whether Don Fabio's number is still in ur phonebook will you?

PS.
OH and one more thing,

When Berbatov said that Rooney's peak is in 4/5 years from now, I certainly hope that he peaks sooner rather than later. The key is maintaining that level of performance and not just peaking to go down after only a while.

Goda Pacar Gangster, Nyawa Berbatov Terancam

VIVAnews - Dimitar Berbatov dalam kondisi siaga satu. Striker Manchester United ini menjadi buruan gangster kenamaan di negaranya, Bulgaria.

Berbatov tidak akan menyangka jika sms genit miliknya buat model kenamaan Bulgaria, Nikoleta Lozanova akan berbuntut panjang. SMS Berba dibalas dengan ancaman serius dari sosok paling ditakuti di Bulgaria.

Tentu sms genit Berba buat pemenang Playmate of the Year 2006 ini tidak akan menimbulkan masalah jika Nikoleta bukan berstatus pacar Georgi 'The Head' Stoilov.

Stoilov menjadi pemimpin sebuah klan yang paling ditakuti di Bulgaria. Ia menggantikan ayahnya Stoil Stoilov yang tewas dalam ledakan bom di sebuah lift pada 2004.

Seperti dilansir The Sun, Berbatov (28) yang saat ini sedang menjalin kasih dengan Elena Shtilianov dengan iseng mengirim pesan buat Nikoleta. Berba menyebut mantan pacar kiper reserve Liverpool, Nikolai Mihailov ini sangat fantastis. Langsung saja SMS Berba mendapat respon ancaman dari Stoilov.

"Saya pernah bertemu sekali ketika dia dengan Nikolai, tapi tidak terjadi apa-apa," ujar Berbatov saat dikonfirmasi perkenalannya dengan Nikoleta.

Namun, media-media di Bulgaria mengabarkan jika Berbatov memang pernah mendekati Nikoleta saat masih berusia 18 tahun.

Sebelumnya, Nikolai juga sempat dibuat was-was setelah sempat membuat berang mantan pacarnya, Nikolita. Saat itu Nikolai menyebut pacar barunya yakni Nikoleta layaknya Ferrari. Sedangkan Nikolita hanya mobil tua.

Hari berikutnya, mobil Ferrari Nikolai seharga 170 ribu pounds dirusak oleh orang-orang tak dikenal. Hati-hati Berbatov!

Berba Mulai Mengenal Setan Merah Lainnya
Kamis, 3 September 2009, 07:07 WIB - Zika Zakiya, vivanews.com

VIVAnews - Setelah berjuang dengan adaptasi di Manchester United musim lalu, Dimitar Berbatov terlihat lebih matang musim ini.

Berba yang hanya mampu mencetak 10 gol musim lalu, yakin kalau 2009-2010 terlihat berbeda. Salah satu alasan utamanya adalah ia mulai mengenal rekan-rekan setimnya.

"Saya sudah melalui tur pra musim dengan tim ini. Dan sekarang saya jadi tahu bagaimana tim ini bermain sekarang. Saya jadi lebih mengerti mereka," kata Berba seperti dilansir The Daily Mirror, Kamis 3 September 2009.

Memang musim lalu pria 28 tahun itu terlihat berjuang untuk masuk dalam pola permainan Setan Merah. Apalagi saat itu, serangan-serangan MU difokuskan pada Cristiano Ronaldo. Ini pula yang menghambat permainannya untuk berkembang.

Namun selepas Ronaldo dilepas ke Real Madrid, banyak perkembangan yang berdampak pada Berba. Salah satunya adalah peranan striker sejati yang mulai ia pahami.

Dalam empat laga Premier League dan tur Asia Juli lalu, Berba mulai membaca rancangan serang rekan-rekannya.

"Ini ditambah Sir Alex (manajer MU) mulai bisa menggunakanku sekarang. Saya tak sabar melalui tiap pertandingan agar bisa mencetak gol dan memberi kontribusi pada tim," tambah Berba.

Musim ini Berba juga mendapat rekan baru dalam wujud Michael Owen. Mereka berdua ditambah Wayne Rooney, sudah terbukti ketajamannya dalam menggetar mistar gawang.

Itulah yang terjadi ketika MU menghantam Wigan Athletic 5-0 pada 22 Agustus lalu. Ketiganya mencetak gol kemenangan. Rooney bahkan menyumbang dua gol di menit 55 dan 64.

Buktikan merahmu...eh, maksudnya buktikan ucapanmu Berba. Kami semua menunggu gol-golmu atau setidaknya permainan konsisten darimu...

Menanti Berbatov yang Lebih Baik
Fajar Pratama - detiksport

Manchester - Di tahun pertamanya bersama Manchester United, Dimitar Berbatov dinilai kurang memuaskan. Musim ini, pemain internasional Bulgaria itu memiliki sejumlah alasan untuk tampil lebih baik lagi.

MU harus merogoh kocek 30,7 jutapoundsterling untuk menggaet Berbatov dari Tottenham Hotspur. Namun performa sang pemain di musim 2008/09 dinilai tidak pantas jika dibandingkan dengan angka tersebut.

Kala itu Berbatov memang belum dapat bermain padu dengan rekan-rekannya di MU. Kerap dituduh malas, dia kemudian hanya dapat menyarangkan sembilan gol dari 31 penampilannya di Liga Primer.

Namun di musim ini Berbatov optimistis akan tampil lebih baik. Soalnya ia telah mengikuti sejumlah laga pra-musim 'Setan Merah, sesi yang ia lewatkan di tahun lalu.

"Saya pikir tahun ini akan berbeda untuk saya. Saya mengikuti sejumlah laga pra-musim yang saya lewatkan di tahun lalu," tuturnya di Sportbox.

Tidak hanya itu saja faktor yang dapat meningkatkan performa Berbatov. Pemain berusia 27 tahun itu juga telah mengetahui karakter rekan-rekannya dan telah tercipta kesepahaman dengan manajer MU, Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Saya cukup tahu bagaimana cara bermain setiap pemain di tim ini sekarang, jadi saya dapat lebih memahami mereka di lapangan.

"Plus, Sir Alex mengetahui cara terbaik bagaimana menggunakan saya. Kami memiliki banyak laga di depan dan saya siap untuk setiapnya dan mencetak gol untuk berkontribusi bagi tim," tuntasnya.

Sejauh ini Berbatov baru mencetak satu gol dari empat laga Liga Inggris yang telah dilakoninya.

Demi MU, Berba Rela Berkucur Darah
Zika Zakiya

VIVAnews - Sejak semusim lalu striker Manchester United, Dimitar Berbatov, masih mencari bentuk permainan terbaik. Namun musim ini, bentuk itu perlahan-lahan ia asah menjadi hasil yang cukup memuaskan.

Berba kini tampil sebagai salah satu striker matang di lini depan Setan Merah. Bersama Wayne Rooney, Berba memperlihat perkembangan berarti dibanding musim lalu.

"Saya siap berkeringat darah untuk klub ini. Saya ingin mencipta dan mencetak gol dan saya yakin bisa jadi bagian tim peraih kemenangan musim ini," ujar Berba seperti dilansir Man Utd Talk, Minggu 6 September 2009.

Beberapa waktu lalu, Berba pernah menyatakan kalau hal ini tak lepas dari peran rekan-rekannya. Ia sekarang tahu bagaimana pergerakan masing-masing. Tak perlu lagi bingung mencari arah bola.

Tambahan lagi, kini MU tak lagi memiliki sosok sentral seperti Cristiano Ronaldo. Dengan begitu pria asal Bulgaria ini punya kesempatan untuk bersinar.

"Saya sadar dengan harga jualku (ketika dibeli MU). Dan musim ini saya siap membuktikan apa yang saya miliki," tambahnya.

setuju bro :).. but IMHO, we should give him some slack not to value him from last season's performance.. Sir Alex himself admit that he didn't put Berba in the right place and role last season.. Again in my opinion, Berba has shown great quality so far, let's just support him and i still believe that he and Nani will 'shine' this season :)

Ulasan Berbatov Tentang Dirinya Sendiri

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs/54379_dimitar_berbatov_thumb_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Dimitar Berbatov mengaku gagal menampilkan yang terbaik untuk Manchester United. Kritikan dari berbagai pihak, termasuk fans.

Di musim pertamanya lalu Berba --nama panggilannya-- tidak menunjukkan kelasnya sebagai pemain mahal. Direkrut dari Tottenham Hotspurs sejak 2008 silam, hingga kini ia hanya mengemas 16 gol dari 53 pertandingan.

Pemain yang diharapkan banyak memberi kontribusi bagi Setan Merah itu rupanya tidak terbukti. Meski dianggap gagal, namun ia menganggap dirinya bukan pemain legenda MU.

"Di tahun pertama, saya kecewa pada diri sendiri. Saya harus katakan itu," tutur Berba seperti dilansir TheSun, Jumat, 2 Oktober 2009. "Itu merupakan tekanan besar buat saya dan mungkin saya gagal di situ. Saya pikir saya mau membuktikan diri saya ke suporter," tambahnya.

"Anda harus ingat, dulu yang terbaik adalah Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best dan Eric Cantona. Saya hanya Dimitar (Berbatov).

Berba mengaku musim lalu ia gagal memberikan performa terbaiknya di lapangan hijau. "Saya tidak tahu terkadang yang saya lakukan itu salah. Mungkin hanya keberuntungan, siapa tahu?," tambahnya.

"Malam hari saya terbangun dan berpikir, 'kau bisa menyelesaikan ini'," lanjutnya.

Datangnya gelombang kritikan rupanya jadi masalah besar baginya, namun ia tidak menganggap itu sesuatu yang salah. Justru sebuah kritikan datang untuk membangun performanyanya.

Selain itu, grafik Berba malah tidak menunjukkan hal yang baik, dari data statistik, pria asal Bulgaria ini justru ada di peringkat sembilan. Namun ia yakin musim ini adalah musim kebangkitannya untuk mendapatkan tempat di hati para fans.

"Di statistik ProZone (analisis pemain), saya ada di posisi sembilan dalam urusan jarak tempuh pergerakan. Ini aneh. Saya terlalu banyak mengamati tim saya sendiri. Di akhir musim saya di posisi empat. Mungkin musim ini saya bisa ada di tempat pertama." lanjutnya.

Tidak hanya dikenal kurang memberi kontribusi, fans mengenalinya sebagai pemain yang malas merebut bola. Meski begitu ia membantah. Menurutnya itu hanya gaya bermain saja.

"Ini gaya saya. Saya berlari bukan tanpa alasan. Saya selalu waspada dan siap. Ini kesalahan saya, bukan mereka (fans). Saya yang harus berubah."

Meskipun begitu, fans tetap bersikap ramah padanya. "Manchester United klub mereka. Semenjak datang, saya diperlakukan dengan baik," tambahnya.

Bulgaria's loss, our gain?

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_25275_5368.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=240&hei=359&rgn=0.1625,0.030516431924882632,0.7499999999999999 ,0.8427230046948357&cvt=jpeg

While offering my condolences to Dimitar Berbatov and any United fans in his homeland, I believe there could be a silver lining for us in Bulgaria's World Cup exit.

The Bulgarians’ failure to qualify for South Africa 2010 was confirmed on Saturday with a demoralising 4-1 defeat in Cyprus. Given Berba's recent form for United, you’ll get no prize for guessing he scored his country's only goal.

Now Dimitar will have to console himself that while he won’t be taking part in the world’s biggest tournament, he still plays for the biggest club on the planet. And there is much to play for at United, not least in the next four weeks when the World Cup play-offs might have otherwise been in the back of his mind.

Now, instead of plotting to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia or similar for a berth in South Africa, Berba can focus all of his energies on his club career. The big domestic fish that United have to fry include Liverpool and Chelsea, while victory in two games against CSKA Moscow would guarantee progress in the Champions League.

While the Reds’ ‘big four’ record from last season is best glossed over, Berba made his mark against both Liverpool and Chelsea. Three minutes into his United debut, he teed up Tevez for what we all hoped would be the winner in yet another 1-0 win at Anfield. It wasn’t to be – but when Chelsea came to Old Trafford in January, everything fell into place and the Bulgarian’s volley rounded off a fine 3-0 victory.

If I was a betting man, then I’d be backing Dimitar to take out his international frustrations on United’s foes. Why not start with Bolton? He scored in United’s last two league games against Stoke and Sunderland, and he bagged one against the Trotters last term. Boy was I grateful – had Berba not popped up to win the Reebok meeting in the 90th minute, then Sir Alex’s mood might have been different for our Monday morning interview. As it was, the boss was on sparkling form – just like his deadline-day signing from Spurs.

Goals alone don’t define Dimitar’s game - his all-round artistry is ultimately what you should applaud if you’re coming to see the champions on Saturday.

Applaud? Shout his name from the rooftops more like, and help turn the end of Berba’s World Cup dream into a nightmare for United’s opponents. :-"

Berbatov Jadi Ayah

Dimitar Berbatov tak akan merasakan kesedihan berlarut menyusul kegagalan Bulgaria lolos ke Piala Dunia 2010. Soalnya dia dapat hadiah yang jauh lebih berharga setelah pasangannya melahirkan anak perempuan.

Putri pertama Berbatov lahir pada Kamis (15/10/2009) pagi kemarin waktu setempat di Rumah Sakit St. Lazarus yang terletak di Kota Sofia. Kondisi bayi dan Elena, pasangan Berbatov, dikabarkan sehat usai proses persalinan tersebut.

Diberitakan Reuters, buah hati Berbatov yang kemudian diberi nama Dea tersebut lahir dengan tinggi 53 cm dan berbobot 3,8 kg.

"Tak ada komplikasi terjadi, dan kondisi ibu serta sang bayi dalam keadaan sehat," demikian pernyataan Berbatov yang termuat dalam situs resmi striker Manchester United itu.

Menurut keterangan seorang teman Berbatov, putri pertama pasangan pesepakbola dan foto model itu sangat mirip dengan kedua orang tuanya. "Kami yakin kalau dia akan menjadi seorang supermodel suatu hari nanti, rupanya menyerupai ayah dan ibunya," sahut seorang teman tersebut.

Berba dan Elena sudah menjalin hubungan kasih sejak lima tahun lalu. Keduanya juga sudah sejak beberapa waktu tinggal bersama di sebuah apartemen penthouse milik Berba di Kota Sofia.

Berbatov enjoys winning feeling

GOALSCORER Dimitar Berbatov claimed that winning was all that mattered as Manchester United beat Blackburn to stay within two points of Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea.

The Reds spurned several chances to make the result more comprehensive at Old Trafford, but the Bulgarian scored a fine opener before Wayne Rooney struck to make it 2-0.

Berbatov was not concerned by the scoreline, and told ESPN: "One-nil is good as well as long as you get the three points. Two-nil, four-nil, it doesn't matter - as long as we keep on winning I think everyone will be happy.

"In the first half, I had a couple of chances to score - you need to be patient and when another chance comes, you need to score it.

"I was glad that I scored my chance, and Wayne Rooney scored another one and it was finished for Blackburn.

"It is always difficult to play against Blackburn, but always when you score a goal you are relieved because you feel that you have done something special, and that was the case."

Berbatov: Skor Tak Penting Asal Menang

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/11/01/1922113p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Striker Manchester United, Dimitar Berbatov, tak peduli berapa besar kemenangan yang diraih timnya. Baginya, yang penting menang dan bisa mendapat 3 poin.

"Menang 1-0 pun juga baik asalkan bisa mendapatkan 3 poin. Menang 2-0 atau 4-0, itu bukanlah hal penting. Yang penting kami bisa menang dan aku pikir semua orang akan senang dengan itu," katanya.

Berbatov mengatakan itu menanggapi kemenangan MU 2-0 atas Blackburn Rovers, Sabtu (31/10). Pada pertandingan itu, Berbatov mencetak gol pertama, disusul gol Wayne Rooney.

"Aku bahagia karena bisa memanfaatkan peluang menjadi gol. Kemudian, Wayne Rooney membuat gol lagi dan mengakhiri semuanya," lanjutnya.

Pelatih Balckburn Rovers, Sam Allardyce, mengakui kehebatan para pemain MU. Menurutnya, sebenarnya timnya sudah tampil bagus. Namun, kualitas pemain MU memang bagus hingga mampu mencetak gol.

"Kami bertahan dengan sangat baik, hingga para pemain Manchester tidak punya kesempatan menciptakan gol. Dua gol yang mereka ciptakan merupakan penyelesaian luar biasa oleh dua pemain hebat," pujinya. (TS)

Berbatov Relieved After “Doing Something Special”

Dimitar Berbatov has been widely praised for his performance in our 2-0 victory over Blackburn yesterday. It was his goal that put United ahead in the second half after receiving the ball with his back to goal but expertly turning and slotting it in to the corner.

He is pleased that our patient play paid off and confesses of the relief he feels whenever we score.

“In the first half I had a couple of chances to score, and you need to be patient and when another chance comes along you have to score it, and I was very glad to score my chance,” said Berbatov. “Then Wayne Rooney scored another and that was it finished for Blackburn. We were relieved because they are a difficult team to play against. Every time when you score a goal you are relieved because you feel you’ve done something special and that was the case for me.”

With Chelsea thrashing all their opponents of late, Berbatov reckons the three points are more important than the number of goals you score.

“One-nil is a good result, as long as you finish it that way,” he added. “If it’s three-nil or four-nil, it doesn’t matter. As long as we keep winning I think everybody will be happy.”

Carrick: Berba's brilliant
manutd.com

Michael Carrick heaped praise on United forward Dimitar Berbatov after the Reds’ 2-0 win over Blackburn at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Bulgarian scored a spectacular opener and had earlier looked most likely to break the deadlock.

“It was a tremendous volley,” Carrick said of his strike. “That’s what he’s all about. We’ve seen him do it before and hopefully we’ll see it many more times.

“He oozes quality in the final third and he perhaps could have had one or two more today.”

Berbatov’s goal came after 55 frustrating minutes for the Reds. Despite the lion’s share of possession, United had found it difficult to slice open the Blackburn back four.

“At times it was frustrating,” Carrick admitted on MUTV. “But we’ve been in that situation many times before. The manager told us to be patient and he pointed out that that’s where our experience comes in.

“We always believe that if we create chances we’ll score. Thankfully Berba did that with a terrific finish and then Wayne [Rooney] sealed it with the second goal.”

Berbatov wasn’t the only man who caught Carrick’s eye on Saturday.

“I thought Jonny Evans and Wes Brown were exceptional at the back,” he said. “It’s always important to keep a clean sheet. We don’t want to leak goals and today we were very focused on defending. I thought we did well against Blackburn’s long-ball threat.”

Manchester United fans vote Berbatov player of the month
-TheSofiaEcho.Com-

http://sofiaecho.com/shimg/zx500y290_814072.jpg

Fans voted Bulgarian international Dimitar Berbatov as Manchester United's player of the month in a recent poll on ManUtd.com, the club's website said on November 11 2009.

The Bulgarian earned half of almost 3000 votes in the web poll, and was described as "instrumental" in United’s successes in October, beginning with the home win over Sunderland when he slotted home acrobatically to draw the Reds level for the first time in the match. In second place was Antonio Valencia with 37 per cent, followed by Anderson with six per cent, Edwin van der Sar with five per cent and Jonny Evans in fifth with two per cent.

Berbatov received the man of the match award for the crucial game against Bolton in which the Bulgarian failed to score but was nevertheless "essential for the victory".

"If you’re still struggling to understand how United left Stamford Bridge on Sunday without even a point, consider this: the Reds were forced to go into the top-of-the-table clash without October’s star performer," the club statement says.

"We can forget the visit to Anfield," the statement reads further, in reference to Liverpool's 2-0 league victory over arch-rivals on October 25. "Alex Ferguson later admitted only Edwin van der Sar and Antonio Valencia came anywhere near to showing what’s expected of a United player on that day".

Dimitar Berbatov’s seven habits of highly successful people like me: #3 Pleasuring
UnitedRant, Kei. - Fri, Nov 6, 2009

http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/wp-content/themes/flashnews/thumb.php?src=http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/berbatov.jpg&h=189&w=279&zc=1&q=95

Hello fans,

Have you missed me a lot this week?

Well I have been on holiday because Sir Alex told me with his hairdryer to “Give it a rest Berba!” during my thank you poem for my beautiful goal last game.

So obeying his order, I entered my hot air balloon and jet-setted my way to the playground of the rich and beautiful, Monte Carlo.

Here, I have been enjoying my most important habit for successful people like me, Habit #3: Pleasuring

Fans you are accustomed to seeing me pleasuring with the lads. But away from football, there is another side of me that brings great joy to people, and that is through my dedication to womanising.

Even in Bulgaria, my mother always said I could grow up to be a really good prostitute, not for the money, but because I wanted to give pleasure to so many people. It was a difficult career decision I had to take, but I decided to make football my business and pleasuring my hobby, although sometimes I still get them mixed up.

So after a week in the world’s most competitive prostitute market, I can report that I have once again made you proud. Yes fans, I have broken all the records set by Cristiano, and represented Manchester greatly with the amount of pleasuring I have completed.
Womanising

http://www.unitedrant.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Womanising.jpg
Successful Habit: Womanising in Monte Carlo

The money I have raised has been donated to my ‘Womanising in the Community Programme’ which helps underprivileged people like you make it in places like Monaco and Bangkok.

Even if you do not make it as a professional pleasurer, this habit can still have many great benefits for everyday life.

For example it can help you meet new types of loose friends, pay your rent if you have no money, and most importantly, help you improve your football with its focus on ball juggling, tackle control and sticking it in the right place at the right time.

I believe that my achievements in womanising are showing you the way to a better future.

Now go! Follow it well and you too can finally be a true giver to the people around you.

Goodbye and Good Pleasuring :kuda:

Man Utd fear surgery for Berbatov

Manchester United are concerned Dimitar Berbatov may need surgery to clear up a knee injury.

The Sun says the Bulgarian striker has been struggling for weeks and was not helped when he got a knock in the recent win over Blackburn.

United sources have now revealed Berba has fluid on a knee.

The trouble kept him out of the defeat at Chelsea.

But club medics hope they can manage the problem so he can avoid going under the knife. Yet an Old Trafford insider admitted: "It is causing quite a bit of discomfort, which is worrying."

Berbatov Top Skorer Bulgaria
Andi Abdullah Sururi - detiksport


Jakarta - Dimitar Berbatov masuk buku rekor timnas Bulgaria, melewati dua pemain legendaris, Hristo Bonev dan Hristo Stoichkov. Rekor itu adalah pemain paling sering menyumbang gol untuk tim negara tersebut.

Pada pertandingan persahabatan Bulgaria versus Malta tadi malam, atau Kamis (19/11/2009) dinihari WIB, Berbatov mencetak dua gol dalam kemenangan timnya 4-1.

Dua gol tersebut membuat koleksi gol internasional pemain 28 tahun itu bertambah menjadi 48, dari 76 pertandingan yang sejauh ini dilakoninya.

Berbatov pun melampaui Bonev, yang sebelumnya memegang rekor top skorer sepanjang masa dengan 47 gol. Bonev adalah bintang di era 60 dan 70-an, yang pernah membela Bulgaria sebanyak 98 kali.

Pemain legendaris lainnya, Stoichkov, tetap di urutan ketiga daftar pencetak gol Bulgaria dengan 37 gol dari 83 laga.

Berbatov could figure for United

http://www.givemefootball.com/GMF/files/cd/cd3d143c-abc1-4fed-b03e-79c96648e474.jpg

Record signing Dimitar Berbatov could be in line to make his Manchester United comeback in Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Besiktas at Old Trafford.

The Bulgarian missed matches either side of the international break with a knee injury and Sir Alex Ferguson stated on Saturday his £30.75million forward would miss Wednesday evening as well when United look for the victory which would almost certainly confirm top spot in Group B.

However, Berbatov was able to train with his team-mates on Tuesday and Ferguson may consider letting the former Tottenham man loose on Besiktas, who are currently without a win.

Ferguson does have a few injury concerns. Rio Ferdinand is definitely out with an injury to his lower back, Johnny Evans will miss out too after failing to recover from a calf problem while neither John O'Shea nor skipper Gary Neville were training with the main group this morning.

That could mean a rare start for the likes of Darron Gibson and Gabriel Obertan as Ferguson looks to bring some freshness into his starting line-up.

The main chance however will be in goal.

It was not expected Edwin van der Sar would face the Turkish champions even before he suffered a bang on the knee in Saturday's win over Everton.

The veteran Dutchman was not training this morning, which leaves Ferguson to decide between Tomasz Kuszczak and Ben Foster, who last week expressed his frustration on apparently only being third choice with the Red Devils while playing in England's last two internationals.

Sir Alex Ferguson admits he has been pleased with the form of Reds striker Dimitar Berbatov this season as he looks set to recall the Bulgarian for United's trip to Portsmouth on Saturday.

Berba recently became Bulgaria’s all-time leading scorer and has four goals to his name for the Reds so far this season, including valuable league openers against Stoke, Sunderland and Blackburn, but he hasn't played for United in almost a month after suffering with a knee injury.

He was named ManUtd.com's Player of the Month for October after a run of five games in which he was at his mercurial, skilful best (Liverpool defeat aside) and netted with two spectacular volleys at Old Trafford.

And now the 28-year-old is back from the knee injury that has forced him to miss three first-team games, he has received a firm endorsement from his manager.

“I have no complaints at all,” Sir Alex declared. “I think Dimitar is doing very well for us. His record at international level gives an indication of just how well he has done for his country, but he has scored important goals for us also.

“I have no worries about him. I am happy with his form, I am happy he is with us. I couldn’t be happier with him.”

MANCHESTER - Permainan Dimitar Berbatov mulai bersinar pada musim ini. Praktis, kenyataan ini membuat pelatih Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson sangat senang sekali.

Ya, sejauh ini performa Berbatov pada musim ini memang cukup cemerlang. Dari total 11 kali bermain, penyerang asal Bulgaria itu sudah menyumbang empat gol buat Red Devils.

Hal itu membuat Berbatov meraih penghargaan Player of the Month dari para penggemar setia United. Praktis, Ferguson mengaku senang melihat permainan yang diperlihatkan bomber 28 tahun itu.

"Saya tidak memiliki komplen sama sekali. Saya rasa Berbatov bermain sangat baik bersama kami. Bukan hanya itu, rekornya di level internasional menunjukkan bagaimana dia bermain baik bersama negaranya," puji Ferguson.

"Namun, Berbatov juga menyumbang gol penting buat kami. Saya tidak perlu khawatir terhadapnya. Saya senang dengan permainannya, saya bangga dia bermain buat kami," tegas pelatih asal Skotlandia itu dikutip situs klub, Jumat (27/11/2009).

Anak-Istri Berbatov Diancam Diculik Mafia

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2009/08/24/75684_dimitar_berbatov_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews -Dimitar Berbatov kembali harus berurusan dengan mafia dari tanah airnya Bulgaria. Setelah pernah mengancam membunuh Berba, kini para mafia itu mengancam menculik anak dan istri striker Manchester United itu.

Seperti dilansir The Daily Mirror, Selasa 1 Desember 2009, Berba harus membayar 500 juta Poundsterling atau setara dengan Rp 7,7 miliar. Takut terjadi hal-hal tak diinginkan, Berba sempat pulang kembali ke Bulgaria. Untuk bisa kembali pulang ke Inggris, Manajer MU Sir Alex Ferguson sudah memerintahkan mereka dijemput pesawat jet pribadi.

"Dimi masih khawatir dengan keadaan keluarganya, dan ia menjanjikan para tetangganya sejumlah uang bila mereka melihat ada orang-orang mencurigakan di sekitar rumah," ujar seorang kerabat dekat Berba.

Berba saat ini masih berada Sofia -ibukota Bulgaria- bersama istrinya Elena dan putri pertamanya, Dea. Ancaman penculikan datang 10 hari lalu ketika seorang mafia menelepon Ibu Berba, Margarita. Disinyalir karena masih takut dengan ancaman para mafia, hingga saat ini Berba enggan memberi keterangan resmi.

"Karena ini adalah masalah keamanan, maka kami tidak akan membuat komentar," ujar juru bicara MU soal meningkatnya jumlah petugas keamanan di kediaman Berba di Inggris.

Mafia bukanlah hal asing buat Berba. Ketika berusia 18 tahun, ia mengaku sempat diculik tiga orang kriminil dan dibawa ke depan ketua gang-nya saat itu, Georgi Iliev.

Berba dipaksa menandatangani kontrak dengan Levski Kjustendil yang tak lain klub milik Iliev. Untuk bisa lolos dari jebakan itu, Berba muda terpaksa menelepon ayahnya, Ivan.

"Itu adalah siksaan yang sangat berat. Tapi itu sudah lama berlalu," kata Berba dalam sebuah buku beberapa waktu lalu.

[Andi Istiabudi]

Hal yang sama pernah menimpa David Beckham dan legenda sepakbola Belanda, Johan Cruyff. Keduanya pernah menerima ancaman penculikan terhadap keluarganya. Namun bedanya Beckham kalau tidak salah langsung memperketat pengamanan keluarganya dan tetap fokus bermain, sementara Cruyff saat itu lebih memilih mundur dari skuad timnas Belanda yang dipersiapkan untuk Piala Dunia 1978 untuk meluangkan lebih banyak waktu bersama keluarganya karena mengaku konsentrasinya menjadi tidak tenang dan khawatir akan mempengaruhi penampilannya di lapangan.

Man of The Year Bulgaria
Dimitar Berbatov Kini Sejajar Stoichkov

VIVAnews - Nama Dimitar Berbatov kini layak disejajarkan dengan legenda sepakbola Bulgaria, Hristo Stoickhov. Keduanya sama pernah meraih penghargaan Man of The Year Bulgaria.

Berba baru saja dinobatkan sebagai Man of the Year 2009 Bulgaria. Striker Manchester United ini menerima penghargaan di Sofia, Kamis malam, 3 Desember 2009.

Pria 28 tahun ini mendapatkan suara terbanyak dari hasil voting secara online yang dihimpun radio berbasis nasional, Darik. Berbatov mengalahkan Menteri Dalam Negeri Bulgaria, Tsvetan Tsvetanov dan juara tinju amatir, Detelin Dalakliev.

Tahun lalu, kapten tim nasional sepakbola Bulgaria ini nyaris saja mendapatkan penghargaan ini. Ia kalah tipis dari kapten tim nasional bola voli, Plamen Konstantinov.

Berba layak berbangga karena menjejaki legenda sepakbola Bulgaria, Hristo Stoichkov. Hristo yang berjaya bersama Barcelona di Liga Spanyol meraihnya seusai mengantarkan Bulgaria ke semifinal Piala Dunia 1994.

Beberapa nama prominen peraih penghargaan ini sebelumnya di antaranya Perdana Menteri Boyko Borisov pada 2002 dan 2006. Juga Presiden Georgy Parvanov pada 2003.

Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has confessed that he feels under pressure to live up to his huge price tag.

The Bulgaria international joined United from Tottenham for £30.75million in September 2008 and has yet to truly establish himself as an Old Trafford favourite.

Quoted in the Daily Express, Berbatov said: 'Every person is different in coping with the pressure of the price tag. Every person thinks differently. For me, sometimes it is difficult because people expect so much of me.

'The fans have probably seen glimpses of my best goals, passes and games. I know you need to show that all the time and that's my main goal - in every game to show my best game.

'But that's the way it should be because the people here have paid so much money for you. I try to give my best for the team to win things. I think I did that in my first season. We won the championship and I think everybody was happy about that.'

So far this season Berbatov is United's second-highest league scorer with four goals from 13 appearances.

Berbatov Merasa Dalam Tekanan
Reky Herling Kalumata - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2009/12/15/72/berba-isi.jpg

Manchester - Dimitar Berbatov mulai merasakan tekanan. Striker Manchester United ini mengungkapkan bahwa orang terlalu mengharapkan banyak dari penampilannya.

Berbatov diboyong oleh MU dengan transfer 30,75 juta poundsterling dari Tottenham Hotspur pada September 2008. Namun hingga saat ini striker internasional Bulgaria ini belum benar-benar merasa mendapatkan hati dari fans di Old Trafford.

Penyerang berusia 28 tahun ini mengakui bahwa harga yang dikeluarkan oleh MU untuk dirinya merupakan tekanan bagi dirinya. Ia pun tahu bahwa para fans masih menunggu banyak gol yang datang darinya.

"Setiap orang adalah berbeda dalam mengatasi tekanan dengan harga bandrol. Setiap orang juga berpikir berbeda. Bagi saya, kadang sulit karena orang berharap banyak pada saya," kata Berbatov seperti dilansir ESPN.

"Para suporter mungkin melihat sepintas lalu gol terbaik saya, passing dan juga pertandingan. Saya tahu Anda perlu menunjukkan itu di setiap waktu dan itu target saya. Setiap pertandingan menunjukkan terbaik dari saya," ujarnya.

Berbatov pun mengungkapkan bahwa sejak musim pertama dia sudah mencoba memberikan yang terbaik bagi MU. "Kami memenangi gelar Premiership dan saya pikir setiap orang senang dengan hal itu," tukasnya.

Sepanjang musim ini, Berbatov adalah pemain yang mencetak gol terbanyak bagi MU. Ia telah menyumbangkan empat gol dari 13 kali penampilannya bersama 'Setan Merah'. ( key / arp )

Berbatov admits Man Utd miss Ronaldo
-tribalfootball.com-

http://www4.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Porto+v+Manchester+United+UEFA+Champions+League+Zp Vxkazd7wxl.jpg

Dimitar Berbatov concedes Manchester United have missed Cristiano Ronaldo this season.

But the United striker insists the current squad are working hard to fill the void left by the now Real Madrid man.

Berbatov told BBC Sport: “Of course. I think every team when their best player goes away you are going to miss him but then again every team can do fine without anybody so we have great personnel to replace him as well.”

On United being as big as everybody says it is, he added: “I think it’s even bigger. Manchester United is of course one of the biggest clubs in the world so you come in, you play with the best players in the world and you have the manager who has so many years in charge of this great club and of course you are going to learn things and if you want to develop it is the place to be.”

Berbatov: I Love Being At This Great Club

Dimitar Berbatov was dubbed as “lazy” when he first came to Manchester United. That claim has slowly started to die down, although there are still plenty of fans who think he slows our attacks down.

Berbatov has today claimed that he will ignore criticism of his style because he believes it is important to play with beauty and grace.

“I try not to pay attention to this because always you have people who will say white is black and black is white,” Berbatov said. “I read a book recently and the book started saying unless you have beauty and grace, you are powerless to win a heart. I like to play like that, with beauty and grace. I like to do stuff like that. I’ve been here over a year now and everything is going well for me. I’m happy here, I love it here. The manager has been in charge of this great club for so many years that of course you are going to learn things. If you want to develop, this is the place to be.”

Berbatov Hadapi Meja Operasi

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/12/01/1000076p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Cedera pemain kembali menampar Manchester United. Selain kehilangan beberapa pemain belakang, kini MU bakal melepas striker Dimitar Berbatov menuju meja operasi.

Sudah berminggu-minggu ini Berbatov berjuang melawan cedera lutut kirinya. Bulan lalu, pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson meyakinkan bahwa pemain Bulgaria itu tak perlu menjalani operasi untuk mengatasi kendala fisik tersebut. Namun apa daya, kenyataan berkata lain. Dalam duel lawan Birmingham, Sabtu (9/1/2010), Berba ini terpaksa duduk di bangku penonton dan menyaksikan timnya bermain imbang 1-1.

"Dia ingin bermain di Birmingham, tapi kami rasa kami sebaiknya menolaknya dan menunggunya bugar kembali. Dia mungkin menjalani operasi," kata Fergie.

Tidak dijelaskan kapan Berbatov akan mulai menjalani operasi dan berapa lama akan absen. Kini Ferguson hanya bisa mengandalkan Wayne Rooney dan striker baru Mame Biram Diouf. Diouf sudah diturunkan dalam duel lawan Birmingham. Adapun Michael Owen harus rela menunggu jatah mainnya karena Ferguson menilai ia kurang cocok diduetkan bersama Rooney.

Terbaik di Bulgaria, Berbatov Kalahkan Stoichkov
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport



Manchester - Di Manchester United Dimitar Berbatov dianggap salah satu striker yang kurang berhasil. Tapi di negaranya sendiri, Bulgaria, dia baru saja terpilih sebagai pesepakbola terbaik untuk kali keenam.

Ini merupakan gelar Pemain Terbaik Bulgaria keenam yang diraih Berbatov secara beruntun. Dia berhasil mengumpulkan 218 poin dari jajak pendapat yang dilakukan terhadap wartawan olahraga di negara tersebut.

Sukses menjadi pemain terbaik untuk kali keenam mengantar Berbatov menorehkan sebuah rekor sebagai pesepakbola yang paling banyak mengumpulkan gelar bergengsi tersebut. Rekor terbanyak sebelumnya menjadi milik Hristo Stoichkov yang meraihnya dalam kurun 1989 hingga 1994.

Sukses besar di negara sendiri tak sejalan dengan apa yang diraihnya di The Red Devils. Berbatov dianggap salah satu flop terkait dengan minimnya kontribusi yang dia berikan padahal harga belinya dari Tottenham Hotspur sangat tinggi.

Kapten Aston Villa, Stilian Petrov duduk di posisi kedua dengan total poin dikumpulkan berjumlah 211, sementara Terek Grozny (Blagoy Georgiev) berada di posisi tiga setelah mendapat 103 poin.

[Andi Istiabudi]

Mengalahkan rekor Hristo Stoichkov ? Wah hebat juga ... =D>

Namun, menurut saya Hristo Stoichkov masih pemain terhebat Bulgaria saat ini dibanding Dimitar Berbatov terutama untuk pencapaiannya bersama timnas Bulgaria. Stoichkov pernah bermain sangat menawan di Piala Dunia 1994, sayang Bulgaria gagal di semi final. Jadi inget nonton pertandingannya dulu di TV ... 8->

http://i.media.goal.com/g/3199.jpg

Hristo Stoichkov

Seandainya penampilan Berbatov konsisten dan lebih banyak mencetak gol serta berprestasi baik di klub maupun timnas, saya percaya kelak Berbatov dapat menjadi pemain terbaik Bulgaria sepanjang masa.

kalo 1-2 thn ke dpn krg memuaskan maennya, jgnkan bisa lbh baek dr stoichkov, yg ada didepak dr UNITED sm opa alex

Hmmm benar juga, tapi kalau saya pribadi sih lebih suka seorang pesepakbola disebut sebagai seorang pemain besar atau pemain terbaik suatu negara jika sudah pensiun atau gantung sepatu karena dengan begitu kita bisa melihat keseluruhan prestasi yang dihasilkannya selama merumput. Jadi mari kita tunggu aksi dan gol-gol Berbatov di lapangan ...

United delay Berbatov decision

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/606.$plit/C_71_article_1189245_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?15%2F01%2F2010%2013%3A11%3A50%3A842

Berbatov has been struggling with the injury since November and Ferguson revealed last week the advice has been for the £30.75million forward to have an exploratory operation so medical staff can work out the extent of the problem.

That is not a route the 28-year-old is keen to go down, especially as he did not feel any reaction this week during United's warm weather training camp in Qatar.

Ferguson admitted there may come a point when United have to "make a decision" about whether to put Berbatov under the knife should symptoms persist.

However, as it has previously been suggested that could rule him out for three months during a period when United are hardly over-burdened with in-form forwards, Ferguson is desperately hoping to avoid that scenario.

"If we could see it through until the end of the season it would be better," said the Reds chief.

"The advice was to have an exploratory operation but Dimitar wants to play through it.

"Sometimes he feels it and sometimes he doesn't. Maybe the climate helped but he didn't feel it when we went away, so he trained every day.

"It is a difficult one and if he is feeling OK it is not a problem.

"But if he is keeps continually coming up against a problem we would have to make a decision on it."

United could certainly do with Berbatov performing consistently at the level Ferguson felt he was capable of when he lured him north from Tottenham 18 months ago.

Ferguson view

Although the Scot was prevented from entering into any discussion about the Old Trafford outfit's debt mountain - and their plans to tackle it, which he backed seven days ago - due to "regulatory compliance" - United could certainly do with some of the heat being taken off the club by the team putting a consistent run of results together.

On the face of it, an FA Cup home defeat by League One Leeds, followed by a draw at Birmingham does not achieve that objective.

Yet Ferguson was actually quite pleased with the manner of his side's performance at St Andrew's, and their tenacity at fighting back once Cameron Jerome had put the hosts in front.

"It was not an easy game and I wasn't upset about the performance in any way," he said.

"You are looking for consistency but you can't think you are going to steamroller a team like Birmingham, who have got themselves to eighth in the league, when you are 1-0 down at half-time."

Nevertheless, this was supposed to be a spell in which United exerted themselves in their usual manner prior to the encounter with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on January 31.

The likely return of Edwin van der Sar, who has missed 12 successive matches, initially due to a knee injury suffered against Everton on November 21, then because his wife Annemarie suffered a stroke back home in Holland, should help bring some stability to United's defence, which Ferguson believes is crucial to any change in fortune.

Yet United must also take a far greater percentage of their chances, starting tomorrow against a Burnley side whose depressing run of away results - just one point so far this season - is being balanced out by impressive home form that began with that shock defeat of tomorrow's opponents at Turf Moor in August.

"It was a great emotional night for them and everyone was caught up in it," said Ferguson.

"We created a lot of chances but when you miss as many as that you can't say you deserve to win."

Berbatov Tak Sabar Hadapi Milan
Hendra Mujiraharja - Okezone

http://bola.okezone.com/images-data/content/2010/02/11/261/302463/K0LY6mAE6k.jpeg

BIRMINGHAM – Dimitar Berbatov mengaku sudah tidak sabar membela Manchester United yang akan menghadapi tantangan AC Milan. Kedua tim akan saling bentrok pada babak 16 besar Liga Champions.

Berbatov sudah dua kali gagal menjadi juara di ajang Liga Champions. Sayang, bomber asal Bulgaria itu harus menjadi saksi saat United kalah di final melawan Barcelona musim 2009 dan ketika Bayern Leverkusen tumbang dari tangan Real Madrid musim 2001.

Berbatov bertekad kembali berlaga di final Liga Champions musim in. Kali ini dirinya berharap keluar menjadi pemenang. Namun, Berbatov sadar jalan menuju partai puncak sangat terjal. Salah satunya United harus melewati hadangan Milan.

“Saya memang sudah bermain melawan setiap tim besar di dunia, tapi saya tidak menghadapi Milan. Saya sangat antusias dengan pertandingan itu,” papar Berbatov di situs UEFA, Kamis (11/2/2010).

“Ini akan menjadi pertandingan hebat. Beberapa orang mengatakan Milan tidak dalam kondisi terbaik, namun saya rasa itu tidak menentukan. Sebab, saya yakin mereka akan bersiap secara serius untuk menghadapi kami,” lanjutnya.

Berbatov mengaku menganggumi kehebatan sang lawan nanti. Sebab, mantan bomber Tottenham Hotspur itu mengaku bahwa salah satu mantan pemain I Rossoneri merupakan idolanya.

“Ya, saya adalah salah satu fans Milan, karena Marco van Basten pernah bermain di sana. Saya mengagguminya, dia adalah pemain hebat, salah satu bomber berbahaya di dunia,” tukas bomber 29 tahun itu.

Jelang Liga Champions
Milan Istimewa Buat Berbatov
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/02/11/73/Berbatov-Reuters285.jpg
Reuters

Manchester - AC Milan ternyata klub favorit Dimitar Berbatov saat dia masih kecil. Ditambah hasrat untuk mematahkan kutukan final Liga Champions, laga kontra Rossoneri disambutnya dengan antusias.

"Ya, saya adalag fans mereka karena Marco van Basten bermain di sana. Saya adalah pemuja dia, dia pemain hebat, salah satu pemain depan terbaik yang pernah ada. Itulah alasan saya mendukung AC Milan, hanya karena dia (Basten) berada di sana," ungkap Berbatov di situs resmi UEFA.

Berbatov melontarkan pernyataan tersebut terkait jadwal laga babak 16 besar Liga Champions antara Milan kontra Manchester United pada 16 Februari mendatang. Meski sudah menghadapi banyak klub raksasa Eropa di sepanjang karirnya, pertemuan laga depan ternyata menjadi pertemuan pertama striker Bulgaria itu dengan Diavolo Rosso.

"Saya sudah bermain menghadapi banyak klub besar di dunia, tapi saya belum pernah menghadapi Milan – saya sangat antusias," lanjut mantan pemain Bayer Leverkusen dan Tottenham Hotspur itu.

Menang atas Milan jelas jadi target yang diusung Berbatov untuk laga tersebut. Soalnya dia punya ambisi pribadi untuk menjuarai Liga Champions untuk kali pertama, setelah sebelumnya dua kali masuk final namun gagal jadi kampiun.

"Dua final dan dua kekalahan, lalu Anda akan menghadapi (tim) yang sudah memenangi beberapa kali. Tapi saya senang punya kesempatan bermain di level tinggi. Saya ingin berada di sana lagi (final) dan saya yakin bisa kembali ke sana."

"Usia saya 19 tahun saat menjalani final pertama, dan saya tak cukup tampil bagus saat itu. Tapi saat Anda melihat ke belakang, Anda akan tahu kalau tak banyak pemain yang bermain di final Liga Champions. Jadi, di kesempatan kedua, saat kalah dari Barcelona, itu sangat mengecewakan," pungkas striker 29 tahun itu.

Final Liga Champions pertama Berbatov terjadi di tahun 2002 saat dia masih membela Leverkusen, dan kalah 1-2 atas Real Madrid. Sementara tahun lalu dia juga gagal mengantar The Red Devils jadi juara usai ditumbangkan Barcelona 0-2.

Pujian untuk Berbatov si Pekerja Keras
Kris Fathoni W - detiksport
Selasa, 09/03/2010 00:17 WIB

Manchester - Dimitar Berbatov pemalas dan sering tak mau kerja keras? Tidak juga, karena kinerjanya di lapangan kini malah mendapat pujian.

Saat menghadapi Wolves di Liga Primer akhir pekan lalu, Berbatov menjadi satu-satunya pilihan logis di lini depan menyusul cederanya Wayne Rooney dan Michael Owen.

Dipasang sendirian menghadapi empat pemain lawan, Berbatov dengan gigih jatuh bangun mengejar bola. Meski tak bikin gol dalam kemenangan 1-0 tersebut, penampilan tak kenal lelah si pemain Bulgaria diacungi jempol oleh rekannya, Rio Ferdinand.

"Saya tak kaget dengan kinerja Berba. Sejujurnya jika Anda melihat statistik maka Anda akan lihat kalau dia adalah salah satu pemain tim kami yang paling banyak berlari di sepenjuru lapangan," puji Ferdinand di The Sun.

Bek tengah Inggris itu memang mengakui kalau Berba ada kalanya memang kelihatan loyo dan tak bersemangat sehingga orang menilanya pemalas. "Dia kadang seperti sedikit tak bertenaga tapi dia benar-benar selalu berusaha."

"Saya pikir dia brilian lawan Wolves. Untuk satu orang pemain tampil sendirian di depan dan membuat sibuk empat bek seperti yang dia lakukan adalah sebuah pengakuan atas kualitas dirinya," papar Ferdinand.

[neoradtz]

Wah betul2!! saya setuju ama om Rio!! :D emang susah kalo gak nyetak gol, tapi dia kerja keras kok :) banyak juga gol2 rooney berawal dari kreasi dia :D.. Berjuanglah Berba!! Neoradtz dukung berba!! :D

Waktunya Berbatov Unjuk Taring

MANCHESTER – Wayne Rooney memang sudah dipastikan akan tampil melawan AC Milan, pada laga leg kedua Liga Champions di Old Trafford, Kamis (11/3/2010), dini hari nanti. Namun, Sir Alex Ferguson sudah punya rencana B, bila kondisi Rooney ternyata belum siap.

Fergie masih punya sosok bomber handal dalam diri Dimitar Berbatov. Inilah saatnya bagi striker asal Bulgaria tersebut untuk membuktikan bahwa dana sebesar 30,75 juta poundsterling yang dikeluarkan United untuk memboyongnya dari Tottenham Hostpur tidak sia-sia.

Setan Merah mengantongi keunggulan 3-2 pada leg pertama di San Siro lalu. Keunggulan ini merupakan investasi besar buat United, karena memiliki kemenangan serta mampu mencetak tiga gol di kandang lawan. Artinya, bila mampu menahan imbang atau minimal kalah tidak lebih dari satu gol dan di atas angka 3-2. maka United akan melaju ke perempatfinal.

Kondisi Rooney sempat meragukan setelah ada masalah pada lututnya. Tapi belakangan, Fergie menyatakan Rooney siap tampil melawan Milan. Bila absen pun, Fergie tidak perlu pusing karena United tidak mengejar banyak gol. Pelatih asal Skotlandia itu bisa bermain aman di dua sisi (lolos tanpa perlu mengorbankan Rooney), dengan memasang sosok Berbatov.

Striker yang pernah membela Bayer Leverkusen ini menjadi pilihan terakhir Ferguson di lini depan, setelah Michael Owen harus absen di sisa musim ini akibat cedera. Peran Berbatov sebagai bomber memang sedikit terpinggirkan setelah United kerap menggunakan patron satu striker dan lima gelandang. Pilihan utama pelatih tentu kepada Rooney.

Formasi itu terbukti cukup ideal menahan gempuran AC Milan di leg pertama. Lini tengah Milan yang berisikan banyak pemain dengan jam terbang tinggi, mampu diredam Michael Carrick dan Paul Scholes dkk. Rooney pun sukses mendulang dua gol untuk memberikan kemenangan 3-2.

Kini, Ferguson punya tiga pilihan untuk pertandingan krusial dini hari nanti. Pilihan pertama adalah tetap dengan formasi seperti leg pertama dan memasang Rooney sebagai striker tunggal. Pilihan kedua mengganti Rooney dengan Berbatov tanpa mengubah lini tengah. Ketiga, memudahkan kerja Rooney dengan menduetkannya dengan Berbatov, tentu dengan mengurangi kuota di lini tengah menjadi empat pemain.

Berba yang Luput dari Perhatian
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/03/15/72/berba-getty.jpg

Manchester - Pembicaraan soal Manchester United saat ini selalu terkait dengan Wayne Rooney. Tetapi jangan lupakan seorang Dimitar Berbatov, yang meski luput dari perhatian namun juga layak disebut pahlawan.

Nama Rooney hampir selalu menyita perhatian ketika membicarakan MU. Ketajamannya membuat "Setan Merah" terus menghidupkan kans untuk merebut gelar juara Liga Primer musim ini.

Total gol Wazza di seluruh ajang saat ini semakin mendekati torehan mantan bintang MU Cristiano Ronaldo. Banyak yang menanti apakah Rooney bisa menyamai atau bahkan melampaui total gol winger Portugal itu. Jadi cukup beralasan apabila Rooney menjadi pusat perhatian.

Dalam laga teraktual yakni melawan Fulham, Minggu (14/3/2010) malam WIB pemain bernomor punggung 10 itu mencetak dua gol untuk mengantarkan tim asuhan Sir Alex Ferguson menang 3-0 dan memuncaki klasemen sementara.

Namun di balik kilau sinar Rooney, ada satu nama yang memiliki kontribusi tak kalah besarnya, namun dia sedikit "terlupakan". Nama itu adalah Dimitar Berbatov.

Pujian untuk pemain Bulgaria itu datang dari Sir Alex Ferguson. "Apa yang dilakukan Berbatov sangat fantastik. Ia memiliki intelejensi tinggi, memiliki kemampuan olah bola yang bagus dan selalu berkontribusi positif kepada tim," ujar manajer asal Skotlandia itu seperti dilansir dari Reuters.

Dalam laga melawan Fulham, Berba berkontribusi dalam lahirnya gol kedua MU. Eks pilar Tottenham Hotspur itu juga mencatatkan namanya di papan skor untuk mengunci kemenangan MU.

"Proses gol kedua sangat luar biasa. Ada pun soal gol Dimitar, itu sangat penting baginya karena dia hanya memiliki sedikit kesempatan dan dia mampu memanfaatkan satu di antaranya."

Berbatov Dukung Rooney Gapai Rekor

http://i.okezone.com/content/2010/03/15/45/312718/A7gtWDsbjx.jpg-pv044b5d0797eef1b1

MANCHESTER - Dukungan terhadap Wayne Rooney untuk mengejar rekor 42 gol Cristiano Ronaldo dalam satu musim terus mengalir. Kali ini datang dari tandemnya di lini depan Manchester United Dmitar Berbatov.

Rooney baru saja berhasil menambah pundi-pundi golnya menjadi 32. Akhir pekan kemarin, dia mencetak dua gol ke gawang Fulham.

Menilik perkembangan positif yang terus ditunjukan ujung tombak andalan Timnas Inggris tersebut, Berba-panggilan Berbatov-semakin percaya sahabatnya bisa menembus raihan 40 gol.

“Saya pikir Rooney bakalan mampu mencetak lebih dari 40 gol. Kami masih punya banyak pertandingan sisa, saya harap dia berhasil melakukannya dan tentunya kami semua sangat mendukung,”ujar Berbatov.

“Dia adalah yang terbaik saat ini. Dia masih sangat muda dan masih punya peluang untuk menjadi lebih hebat lagi,” ketusnya.

“Saya sering mengatakan kepadanya, dia bisa mendapatkan semua jika terus dalam kondisi fit,” tutup pemain asal Bulgaria itu seperti dikutip Tribalfootball, Senin (15/3/2010). (msy)

Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov insists champions are heading for a fourth successive Premier League title

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/15/article-0-08B74FBF000005DC-396_468x314.jpg

Dimitar Berbatov expects Manchester United to win an unprecedented fourth successive Premier League title.

The Bulgarian wrapped up a 3-0 win for the Red Devils over Fulham following two more goals from Wayne Rooney that took his amazing tally to 32.

It took United two points clear of Chelsea and Arsenal in what is turning into a fascinating title race given Carlo Ancelotti's men have a game in hand, with all three sides boasting very similar goal differences.

Yet Berbatov is confident the ultimate domestic prize will end up at Old Trafford, just as it did in his first season following a club record £30.75million move from Tottenham.

'There can only be one winner and I think it is going to be us,' said Berbatov.

'Arsenal and Chelsea are great teams and we have difficult games ahead of us but the good thing is we play at home at Old Trafford against Chelsea and that will be an advantage for us.

'I am optimistic that in the end we will be champions.'

Although his manager doubtless hopes Berbatov is correct, Sir Alex Ferguson has been involved in enough of these scraps to know this one looks among the most
intriguing, with Arsenal looking to have the easier run-in, even though United and Chelsea both know if they win all their games, including the crunch meeting between the pair at Old Trafford on April 3, they cannot be caught.

'At the moment it is looking like the tightest Premier League we have had,' said the United chief.

'It is very tight. We only have eight games left. Chelsea have nine. We are all involved in Europe. Chelsea also have the FA Cup.

'I suppose the simple way for us and Chelsea to look at it is just to win all our games. But life is never that simple.'

United will feel they have a good chance as long as Rooney stays fit. It took him just 29 seconds of the second-half to break the deadlock and it was Rooney's goal seven minutes from time that settled home nerves after the Red Devils had spurned a succession of chances.

The 24-year-old is now just 10 goals adrift of the mammoth number Cristiano Ronaldo scored two seasons ago, although Rooney would prefer to avoid the comparison.

'If I am being honest, getting to 42 goals wouldn't mean a lot to me,' he said. 'It is not something I have looked at.

'Obviously it is nice to score goals. I want to score goals in every game and what Cristiano Ronaldo achieved was unbelievable.

'But I am a different player and a different person. I am not comparing myself to Cristiano.'

Berbatov: Gelar Juara Milik United!

MANCHESTER - Bomber Manchester United Dimitar Berbatov percaya penuh timnya akan kembali berjaya di musim ini. Berba menegaskan, United akan memenangi persaingan dengan dua rival kuatnya Arsenal dan Chelsea dalam merebut trofi Premier League.

Persaingan menuju juara Premier League musim ini memang telah mengerucut menjadi hanya tiga kandidat. United (69 poin) untuk sementara berada di posisi yang menuntungkan dengan bercokol di puncak klasemen. Namun, United pantas waspada. Pasalnya, Arsenal (67) dan Chelsea (65) yang berada tepat di bawahnya siap menyalip bila United lengah.

Melihat jadwal pertandingan United di tujuh laga tersisa, United memang rawan bakal kehilangan posisinya di puncak klasemen. Pasalnya, skuad besutan Sir Alex Ferguson masih harus berhadapan dengan tim tangguh, dimana salah satunya akan berhadapan dengan rival langsung, Chelsea, awal April mendatang.

Menyikapi hal ini, Berba mengaku tak gentar. Bomber Timnas Bulgaria ini bahkan kian pede bila timnya bakal mampu melewati hadangan The Blues dan menjadi kampiun di empat musim beruntun.

“Hanya akan ada satu juara, dan saya pikir itu adalah kami,” papar Berba pede sebagaimana dikutip FootbanFanCast, Selasa (23/3/2010).

“Arsenal dan Chelsea merupakan tim tangguh dan kami juga akan menghadapi laga sulit di sisa musim (harus berhadapan dengan Chelsea). Tapi, untungnya kami akan melawan Chelsea di markas kami, Old Trafford, dan itu merupakan suatu keuntungan besar buat kami,” tambahnya.

“Saya optimistis kami akan mengakhiri musim ini dengan status sebagai juara,” tutup striker yang telah mengoleksi 10 gol dari 34 penampilannya bersama United sepanjang musim ini. (acf)

Neville praise for away day Berbatov

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/476.$plit/C_71_article_1202061_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?29%2F03%2F2010%2007%3A57%3A41%3A809

Dimitar Berbatov has been Manchester United's key figure away from home in March.

The Bulgarian striker has been overlooked for the starting XI glamour Old Trafford games against AC Milan and Liverpool.

Instead he has been chosen as the lone spearhead in the only two matches away from home during the critical run-in month.

For a player who has been questioned for his work rate, it would appear to have been a gamble to ask him to put in a stint at Molineux and the Reebok.

When you are being asked to step into such potentially tough away fixtures to replace on-fire Wayne Rooney, you are on a hiding to nothing.

But United's £30.75m club record buy has won new admirers for his efforts.

At Wolves he led the line without Rooney and was a man of the match contender.

On Saturday at Bolton, again without United's 33-goal leading scorer Rooney, he fought a lone battle and scored twice.

His Reds colleagues are certainly not new admirers but Gary Neville sang his praises at the Reebok.

"Dimitar Berbatov was outstanding. He won us the match," said United's captain.

"Dimitar's performances in the wins against Wolves and Bolton have showed fantastic determination. He played up there on his own in both games and running the line he was a massive presence for us against Bolton and the same at Wolves.

"It was really important. It has been important that when Wayne has not been playing, Dimitar has been outstanding."

With six games to go United are in the box seat on points but Chelsea, who come to Old Trafford on Saturday lunch time for a title battle royal, have forged ahead in the back up goal difference department.

Favour

"It is quite a title race. It has not been like this for a while where three teams have been at it this close to the end. It is all to play for," added Gary.

"We have a big game next Saturday. We could do ourselves a big favour, but so could Chelsea. And Arsenal will be looking for a draw from that game.

"We knew going into the Bolton match we had a five-game period where it is all to play for. We need our squad and we are going to need a high level of performance.

"These are the crucial months and games. Any game you lose matters. We have to make sure we are highly focused, we are concentrated and we perform.

"The league could be very tight. Over the years it has never gone down to goal difference but you just never know what is going to happen. It may be the deciding factor. Chelsea getting seven has put them in a good position. We have also done really well.

"I knew Chelsea were winning. I think 5-1 was the last we heard but I didn't know they had won seven until after our game. It was surprising because Aston Villa have been so good defensively this season. We expected Chelsea to win but maybe not seven.

"We are in a position where goals don't have to matter. But you have to be conscious that you have to score as many as you can, particularly when you are winning. Never let up, it can be important.

"We enjoy this time of the season. We are in the simplest position. If we win our matches we are okay. We are not waiting on anyone else."

Vidic: United Masih Punya Berbatov!
Muhayati Faridatun - Okezone

http://i.okezone.com/content/2010/03/31/261/318044/4Z2nWTUKjJ.jpg-pv21cefcd35a1f4b47

MUNICH - Kekhawatiran enggan menghampiri bek tengah Manchester United Nemanja Vidic, menyusul cederanya bomber andalan Wayne Rooney. Vidic yakin Dimitar Berbatov mampu menggantikan peran Rooney.

Bagai jatuh tertimpa tangga, sepertinya ungkapan tepat bagi United. Setelah menelan kekalahan 1-2 dari Bayern Munich dalam leg pertama perempatfinal Liga Champions, dini hari tadi, skuad besutan Sir Alex Ferguson harus kehilangan Rooney.

Striker yang mencetak gol tunggal United mengalami cedera pergelangan kaki. Usai pertandingan, Rooney terlihat pincang dan akhirnya harus dituntun keluar lapangan. Tampaknya, bomber 24 tahun diragukan tampil pada leg kedua di Old Trafford, tengah pekan depan.

Meski demikian, Vidic tak menghiraukan cedera yang membekap Rooney. Menurutnya, masih ada Berbatov yang sanggup mengisi kekosongan di lini serang.

“Saya yakin kami punya skuad yang bagus. Berbatov mencetak dua gol saat melawan Bolton, Sabtu lalu. Saya rasa, musim ini kami menunjukkan permainan sebagai tim, bukan hanya menyangkut seorang pemain,” ujar Vidic.

“Penampilan Wazza (julukan Rooney-red) memang sulit dipercaya. Tapi, pemain-pemain hebat kadang absen dan kami harus membuktikan bahwa kami siap,” lanjut bek asal Serbia.

“Berba adalah pemain hebat. Dia bisa mencetak dan menciptakan peluang. Dia menunjukkannya di pertandingan terakhir. Kami harus yakin pada diri sendiri dan harus mulai memikirkan leg kedua,” tandas bek 28 tahun, dikutip dari Goal, Rabu (31/3/2010).

Dimitar Berbatov determined to lose 'nearly-man' tag
Dimitar Berbatov, a self-confessed nearly man, is determined to banish that tag by placing his hands on the European Cup this season.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01607/dimitar_berbatov2_1607759c.jpg

Berbatov’s admission that he still considers himself to be unfulfilled as a footballer centres on his two bitter experiences of a Champions League final.

With Bayer Leverkusen in 2002 and United in Rome last May, Berbatov was forced to accept a role as a late substitute as he experienced defeat.


For a player of such ability, and a club record £30.75 million price tag to match, Berbatov is worryingly accustomed to missing out on the big occasion.

He has started only six of United’s 21 Champions League games since his arrival from Tottenham in September 2008 and, when Sir Alex Ferguson has selected a starting XI to face the big-four rivals — Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool — this season, Berbatov has been left on the bench for all bar the 2-0 defeat at Anfield in October.

But Wayne Rooney’s ankle injury ensures that bit-part Berbatov will become the central figure during the 34-goal top scorer’s absence.

Nineteen months after becoming a United player, the Bulgarian now has the opportunity to prove he can become the inspirational figure Ferguson believed he was luring from Spurs.

Yet the question hanging over Berbatov is whether he can deliver when the pressure is at its most intense.Within the United dressing-room, at least, Berbatov has team-mates ready to champion his ability.

United defender Nemanja Vidic said: “Berbatov scored two goals against Bolton last Saturday and I think this season we’ve shown we play as a team. It is not about one man.

“Wazza [Rooney] is unbelievable, but sometimes big players are missing and we need to show we are ready. Berba is a great player. He can score and set up goals and he showed that against Bolton.”

Of Berbatov’s 12 goals this season — all of which have come in the Premier League — none have been scored against a team occupying the European qualification positions and upwards. Everton, in eighth, are the highest-placed victims of his shooting boots.

Yet in Berbatov’s defence, he has been playing despite the continuing hindrance of floating debris in his knee, an issue which is likely to require surgery in the summer.

His performances have also won the admiration of the club’s supporters, many of whom doubted his contribution last season and harshly viewed his languid style as lazy.

In comparison to the former crowd favourite Carlos Tevez, a dynamic, energetic and combative performer, Berbatov was always going to struggle to win any popularity contest.

Ironically, Teddy Sheringham endured a similarly difficult start to life at Old Trafford following his arrival from Spurs in 1997.

Just like Berbatov, Sheringham was viewed as a 'typical Spurs player’ by a critical Old Trafford, one with talent but lacking the perspiration and motivation required to succeed at United.

Sheringham’s natural swagger pulled him through his dark days and his goal against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final ensured eternal popularity at Old Trafford.

Berbatov does not possess Sheringham’s self-confidence. A more introverted figure, he has confessed to feeling the weight of expectancy that comes with playing for United.

But with Rooney sidelined and only youngsters Federico Macheda and Mame Biram Diouf to share the goalscoring burden, it is now time for Berbatov to deliver.

He will start against Chelsea on Saturday and then be expected to haul United into the Champions League semi-finals by leading the line in Wednesday’s Champions League second-leg against Bayern.

Having admitted his determination to make it third time lucky in Europe’s premier competition, though, Berbatov now has that ambition firmly in his own hands.

He can get rid of that nearly man tag, not just in the Champions League, but with United also, if he fills the void created by Rooney and dispels the doubts once and for all.

Manchester United's season hangs on Dimitar Berbatov filling Wayne Rooney's boots
In all the acreage of space given over to Wayne Rooney's injury, there has been much consensus: Manchester United are in trouble.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01608/berbatov_1608596c.jpg

As if losing their best player at such a critical point in the season was not disadvantage enough, the man likely to be his replacement is clearly not in the same league. Indeed, if newspaper coverage determined bookmakers' odds, all bets would be off: without Rooney, the domestic title is now Chelsea's and Bayern Munich should start getting themselves fitted for Champions League final suits forthwith.

This is not, however, an analysis which would find much favour with Gary O'Reilly. The former Spurs defender and lifelong enthusiast for all things Tottenham is not a man given to sentimentality. But mention the words Dimitar and Berbatov to him and he comes close to drooling.

"My favourite moment of him in a Spurs shirt? All of them," O'Reilly told me on the day in 2008 when United signed the Bulgarian. "It was like watching an episode out of The Matrix. He seemed to have found a part of time we didn't know existed. And the better the players around him, the better he'll be. It's scary thinking of what he'll do at United."

It is fair to say that few have since suffered sleepless nights in terror at such a thought.

Berbatov cost United £30.5 million but despite an injury-free spell, has started just one of the last 27 of United's games against more elevated opponents. It is not a statistic that speaks loudly of his manager's trust. From tomorrow, however, Sir Alex Ferguson will have no choice: with Rooney crocked, Berbatov will have to start against Chelsea and Bayern, the two fixtures that will largely decide the destiny of United's season. It is some responsibility that now hangs from his languidly sloped shoulders.

Catching up with O'Reilly this week, the Bulgarian's cheerleader was unrepentant. The truth is, he suggests, Berbatov's problem has not been his own form. It has been that of the player ahead of him in the pecking order. Rooney has not only scored 34 goals this season, he has changed the tactical direction of his club. His all-action contributions have enabled Ferguson to mould things around his lone-wolf performances. In such a Rooney-led formation, Berbatov is more than superfluous: he is a distraction, to play to his strengths would require re-shaping the team.

Which means if he is to contribute over the next week, Berbatov will be obliged to go against his own instincts. An appetite for action is not his main characteristic. As O'Reilly describes him, his blood flows slower than that of the average player. The dash to close down space is not in the Berbatov DNA.

Yet to watch him against Bolton last weekend, suggested he was a player prepared to learn. Yes, he was full of his familiar craft and guile, but he was also galloping about the field with the enthusiasm of a week-old colt. It was a performance, O'Reilly maintains, that implied United's cupboard is not entirely bare.

"He's had to change, to learn, to adapt," he insists. "At Tottenham it was all about him. Others sacrificed elements of their game to accommodate his. At United, he's the one having to do the sacrificing. It takes time to come to terms with that. He's had to realise he must play second fiddle to one of the world's top three, if not the very best. He's got to play Sherpa Tenzing to Rooney's Edmund Hillary. Now it's his opportunity to show he can get to the summit. I believe he'll take it."

We will soon know if O'Reilly's faith is justified. But without wishing to over-state the Bulgarian's task, the fact is, on such a hope does United's season hang

Berbatov Dicintai Kawan, Dihormati Lawan

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/03/16/0035515p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Mantan pemain Manchester United (MU), Robbie Savage, dan penyerang Tottenham Hotspur, Jermaine Defoe, menilai, Manchester United (MU) bisa mengandalkan Dimitar Berbatov sebagai mesin gol, sementara Wayne Rooney aben karena cedera. Menurut mereka, Berbatov adalah pemain kelas dunia, yang tak perlu diragukan kemampuannya.

Wayne Rooney mengalami cedera pergelangan kaki dalam pertandingan leg pertama perempat final Liga Champions, melawan Bayern Muenchen, Rabu (31/3/2010). Ia diprediksi akan absen selama dua sampai tiga pekan.

Selama periode itu, MU akan menghadapi Chelsea di ring Premier League dan Bayern Muenchen, di leg kedua perempat final Liga Champions. Mengingat Rooney merupakan otak permainan dan mesin gol tim, sejumlah kalangan menilai, MU bakal kalah di kedua laga itu sekaligus kehilangan peluang meraih gelar ganda.

Namun, Savage dan Defoe menilai, Berbatov mampu mengemban tugas berat itu. Namun, untuk itu, Berbatov membutuhkan kepercayaan diri, yang sulit didapat bila pendukung tak memercayainya.

"Absennya Rooney pada pertandingan Sabtu nanti (versus Chelsea) berarti kesempatan untuk Dimitar Berbatov. Duel itu terlalu besar untuk untuk Federico Macheda dan Mame Diouf,"

"Saya kira, Sir Alex Ferguson akan bermain dengan penyerang tunggal dan lima gelandang untuk menahan Frank Lampard dan memotong aliran bola kepada Nicolas Anelka dan Didier Drogba,"

"Berbatov tak akan memberikan Anda nyali dan keringat (seperti) Rooney. Namun, ia lebih baik soal penguasaan bola. Anda akan berpikir bahwa ia telah bekerja dengan baik, bila mengetahui bahwa ia menentukan delapan kemenangan dari sembilan pertandingan,di mana MU tampil tanpa Rooney," ulas Savage.

"Setiap orang begitu cepat meremehkan Manchester United begitu Wayne Rooney cedera. Namun, kupikir, Dimitar Berbatov bisa membuat (para pengkritik) memakan kata-kata mereka," timpal Defoe.

MU saat ini berada di puncak klasemen Premier League dengan 72 poin atau hanya unggul satu angka dari Chelsea di tempat kedua. Posisi tersebut mungkin berubah akhir pekan ini dan dengan enam laga tersisa, kehilangan poin penuh bisa berarti tersingkir dari persaingan.

Untuk Liga Champions, posisi MU juga tidak aman, menyusul kekalahan 1-2 di leg pertama, Selasa (30/3/2010). Meski masih ada leg kedua dan cuma butuh kemenangan 1-0, MU tak mungkin mendapatkan kemudahan dari Bayern yang berambisi merajai Eropa kembali. (MIR)

Yorke: Saatnya Pembuktian, Berbatov!
Muhayati Faridatun - Okezone

http://i.okezone.com/content/2010/04/03/45/318853/MfqqjQdnu9.jpg

MANCHESTER - Dimitar Berbatov disebut-sebut paling pas menggantikan Wayne Rooney. Dukungan pun mengalir dari mantan bintang Manchester United Dwight Yorke. Apa katanya?

Rooney dipastikan absen membela United dalam bigmatch melawan Chelsea, Sabtu (3/4/2010) malam WIB. Bomber 24 tahun mengalami cedera pada pergelangan kaki kanannya, saat leg pertama perempatfinal Liga Champions kontra Bayern Munich, tengah pekan lalu.

Memang diakui, striker yang sudah mengemas 26 gol di kancah Premier League memegang peranan penting bagi skuad asuhan Sir Alex Ferguson. Namun, publik tampaknya belum melupakan eksistensi Berbatov, yang hijrah dari Tottenham Hotspur dengan nilai transfer 30.75 juta poundsterling, September 2008 lalu.

Nama Berbatov memang seakan tenggelam oleh kejayaan Cristiano Ronaldo. Kepindahan CR9 ke Real Madrid di awal musim, rupanya tak juga mendongkrak popularitas Berbatov. Justru Rooney yang prestasinya semakin berkibar.
Kini, Berbatov siap menjadi ujung tombak Si Setan Merah. Menurut Yorke, laga di Old Trafford nanti layak dijadikan ajang pembuktian bagi striker berkebangsaan Bulgaria.

“Sejujurnya, Berbatov selalu dibayang-bayangi primanya performa Wayne Rooney, yang sekaligus membenamkan namanya. Kini, saatnya Berbatov menunjukkan kemampuan dan mengapa dia pantas dengan harga yang dibayar United,” ungkap Yorke.

“Berbatov akan tahu apa yang Sir Alex Ferguson dan rekan-rekan tim harapkan padanya. Ya, Anda akan meilhat seorang pemain yang biasa duduk di bangku cadangan, kini siap bermain menggantikan posisi Rooney,” lanjutnya.

“Kami juga tahu bahwa dia bisa membuktikan bahwa dengan uang yang dihabiskan United, dia pantas berlaga di pertandingan besar. Saya memang tidak bisa menjanjikan apa-apa tentang dia. Tapi, dia memiliki talenta spesial,” pujinya lagi.

“Pastinya kita belum lupa saat dia mencetak gol bagi Bulgaria dan Hotspurs. Dan sekarang saat yang tepat menghilangkan semua keraguan tentang kemampuannya,” tutup pria asal Trinidad-Tobago, dikutip dari Goal, Sabtu (3/4/2010).

One glaring miss shows Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov is no King Eric

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/04/03/article-0-08FC9D09000005DC-644_306x423.jpg

Dimitar Berbatov shares many things in common with Eric Cantona, like a wonderful touch and a lack of mobility. But whereas King Eric would puff out his chest and rise to the important occasion, Berbatov fluffs his big moments.

With Wayne Rooney sidelined by his ankle injury, yesterday was the chance for Berbatov to make his own Manchester United history. But, with Chelsea winning 2-1, he blew a glorious chance to equalise.

With his talent and ability, Berbatov should have been able to volley past Petr Cech. But it didn't happen and you have to say that the wasted opportunity is symbolic of his entire time at Old Trafford following his £31million move from Spurs.

Now, instead of remaining title favourites, United have to play catch-up against Chelsea and a historic fourth title in a row looks doubtful.

While Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney fired on all cylinders in the past couple of years, Berbatov's lack of incisive moments did not really matter.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been able to use him as a supporting cast member and he has done enough against weaker teams to make it worthwhile.

But against Chelsea, United really needed Berbatov. And the outcome is that he still hasn't done it in the big games.

You suspect that if the ball had dropped to Cantona a dozen years ago, the ball would have ended in the top corner and the fans would have been talking about it for years. If the ball had dropped for Rooney yesterday, you suspect United would have drawn the game and stayed top.

The problem for Sir Alex is that he needs Berbatov against Bayern Munich this week so giving him a blast of the 'hairdryer' would be counter-productive. Despite appearances, Berbatov's problem is not that he doesn't care enough. If anything, it is because he is sensitive and fragile.

I remember people at Spurs telling me when United became interested in Berbatov that they had doubts over whether the Bulgarian would be able to cope with the enormous pressure of being expected to score and win every week.

Some players respond well to the Fergie treatment but the United manager will need to ruffle Berbatov's hair instead and keep telling him he's a great player. The striker will feel very down this morning and possibly blame himself for allowing Chelsea to leave with the points.

The big title showdown at Old Trafford also told us that United will miss Rooney during his enforced absence. For 45 minutes, their players were so lethargic, it was as if they were thinking: 'Oh no, Wayne isn't here. What do we do?'

Their problems were heightened by Chelsea being fresher as a result of being knocked out of the Champions League and not having to play in midweek.

United were awful in the first half, all at sea. Fergie probably gave them a coating at the interval - Berbatov excepted, of course - and they did improve in the second half, only to be undone by a poor offside decision for Didier Drogba's goal. Unfortunately for United, however, after Federico Macheda had given them a lifeline, Berbatov missed the sort of opportunity Rooney would have banged away.

This season's title race has had too many twists and turns to declare it all over now, however. Chelsea have tough fixtures to come and although they are in the driving seat, United will not give up, particularly with Rooney to come back in.

Dimitar Berbatov's stage fright makes Manchester United pine for Wayne Rooney

This morning’s Daily Telegraph posed a very simple question. Beside a picture of Wayne Rooney, the cover read: “Can Manchester United beat Chelsea without him?”

Well, now we have a very simple answer. Despite all the assertions to the contrary, all the talk about United’s experience, all the defiant backing of Dimitar Berbatov, United didn’t look remotely capable of beating Chelsea without him. And on that evidence, they won’t beat Bayern Munich either.

Sir Alex Ferguson said last week that 80 per cent of United fans are behind Berbatov. Not sure quite where he got that figure from, but it’s safe to say the Berba-backers will have reduced in number since this morning. And rightly so.

The game was billed as “the 90 minutes that will define his Old Trafford legacy” but Berbatov, despite starting brightly, was a disappointment yet again. The service to him may have been poor, but when Gary Neville laid on a wonderful chance in the closing stages, Berbatov scuffed his volley straight into the turf.

No one expects Berbatov to run the channels, hassle defenders and emulate Rooney’s role as a square-jawed action hero. But we do expect him to caress those chances into the back of the net.

“I’m glad we kept faith with Berbatov because he’s really showing his true worth on a regular basis now,” wrote Ferguson in today’s match programme. And it’s true that, against lesser opposition, Berbatov has been more consistent over the last few weeks. But today, when United desperately needed something formidable from Berbatov, they got next to nothing.

Respect should be paid to Carlo Ancelotti, though.

It would have been very easy for Ancelotti to throw Didier Drogba right back into the mix. Instead he persevered with the same XI that thrashed Aston Villa, and was rewarded with a mature and controlled performance.

Ancelotti knew the selection of Anelka would give Chelsea more control in midfield, as the Frenchman is more adept than Drogba at dropping deep and linking up play. So it proved in the first half as Chelsea outnumbered, out-passed and out-thought United.

Chelsea have now played four and won four against United and Arsenal this season, conceding just once. Given that record, it is hard to argue that they’re not the strongest team in the Premier League this season.

And unlike Berbatov, who still can’t shake his stage fright, Chelsea look remarkably comfortable under the bright lights. A Double is now theirs for the taking.

For almost a week Manchester United had been telling us they would cope without Wayne Rooney. Yes, they admitted, it was a blow to lose him but they still had Dimitar Berbatov, a player who had spent some time explaining that he really wanted to show he was passionate about the cause. And then there was young Federico Macheda, someone Sir Alex Ferguson was suddenly talking up as the best 18-year‑old he had ever seen inside the penalty box. Some compliment, given that Ferguson has been in the game more than 50 years and worked with enough players to fill an ocean liner.

This is what football people do when a key player gets injured: they tell us they have to get on with it and there is no point feeling sorry for themselves. And they are right, of course. But sometimes the truth is something they do not want to confront and, in this case, it is unavoidable, no matter how much Ferguson, or Gary Neville, or anyone else from Old Trafford, tries to talk up Rooney's replacements. The simple fact is this: Rooney's injury is threatening to bring Manchester United's season to a juddering halt.

All season Ferguson has been banking on him keeping fit, knowing that the supporting cast is no longer what it was. A year ago United had Rooney, Berbatov, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Before that, there was Rooney, Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Louis Saha. Now the choice is so restricted that, when Ferguson was asked a few weeks ago what would happen if Rooney were to get injured, even for a short while United's manager puffed out his cheeks then fixed those pale-green eyes on the inquisitor and told him: "Stop sticking those pins in."

Berbatov will inevitably find himself grazing in the scapegoat's paddock but one also wonders whether Ferguson, somewhere at the back of his mind, wishes he still had Tevez at the club. Ferguson is not usually one for regrets and Tevez might not have the touch of Berbatov or the appreciation of space. But he has 22 goals in 21 league games for Manchester City this season and could yet squeeze on to the shortlist for Footballer of the Year behind Rooney, Didier Drogba, Cesc Fábregas and a couple of others.

Tevez has that knack of making things happen, the kind of striker who could hustle a late winner. Berbatov, for all his superior skill, remains the man who will score a sumptuous last-minute goal in a 4‑0 win. It's hypothetical, but how far would that shortlist have to be extended to fit in the Bulgarian? By 50? Eighty?

Carlo Ancelotti, the victorious manager, spoke of his belief that Chelsea were simply the better team, not just over one match but the course of a season. There were eulogies for Joe Cole, who appears to have reinvented himself, and Florent Malouda, a renascent figure who may have ripped up single-handled Neville's late application for a World Cup call-up.

When pressed, though, Ancelotti admitted his players had been lifted by the absence of Rooney's name on the team-sheet. He knew that United's record of eight wins in the nine previous matches Rooney had missed was a deceptive statistic. And Bayern Munich's players may get the same encouragement when they come to Old Trafford on Wednesday.

"We know Manchester United are not the same team without Wayne Rooney," Ancelotti said. "Rooney is a fantastic player, very difficult to replace. Berbatov is good but Rooney is totally different. Rooney can come back to receive the ball and attack in any direction; an unbelievable player. He and Berbatov have different characteristics."

Rooney has scored 34 goals this season but was still on crutches at the weekend and could be three weeks away; a diagnosis Ferguson had described as good news but still enough time for a season to unravel. Michael Owen is out. So is Daniel Welbeck. Macheda is talented but raw. Berbatov flickers only sporadically. United's next assignment is at Blackburn Rovers, with only two home defeats all season. Then they go to the fourth-placed Manchester City, who have been beaten only once on their own ground. United will almost certainly have to win them both.

One by one Ferguson's fingers are being prised off the trophy, even if Chelsea still have to go to Tottenham and their penultimate game is at Liverpool. Could it possibly be that there is another twist to come and that United could be indebted to Liverpool in the year they want to stand apart from the Anfield club with a record 19th league title?

Possibly, but this Chelsea smack of professionalism and efficiency.

Maybe, on Saturday, it would have been different had the opposition's best player not been on crutches. What we can say for sure is that Berbatov's chance to offer a serious demonstration of his £30.75m worth came and went against two flawless centre-halves. United without Rooney are not quite a car without petrol but the needle is dipping towards the red and they are still a long way from home.

"Berbatov tak akan memberikan Anda nyali dan keringat (seperti) Rooney. Namun, ia lebih baik soal penguasaan bola. Anda akan berpikir bahwa ia telah bekerja dengan baik, bila mengetahui bahwa ia menentukan delapan kemenangan dari sembilan pertandingan,di mana MU tampil tanpa Rooney,"

wah berarti keren juga nih si berba.........8 dari 9 pertandingan tanpa rooney......:thumbup:

Ferguson Tetap Percaya Berbatov

Manchester - Meski belakangan penampilannya kurang bersinar, Dimitar Berbatov tetap dipercaya oleh Sir Alex Ferguson. Striker Bulgaria itu akan didapuk sebagai ujung tombak utama Manchester United untuk menghadapi Blackburn Rovers.

Sebuah kesempatan buat Berbatov untuk membuktikan diri kembali datang ketika MU melawat ke Ewood Park, Minggu (11/4/2010) guna melawan Rovers.

Rooney yang masih dibebat cedera engke,l dipastikan tidak akan memperkuat The Red Devils. Posisinya akan dipercayakan kepada Berbatov walau performanya dinilai kurang memuaskan.

Selama menggantikan peran Rooney, performa Berba tergolong tak bagus-bagus
amat. Dalam dua laga terakhir misalnya, Berba gagal tampil cemerlang saat melawan Chelsea, akhir pekan lalu dan tampil kurang maksimal ketika MU disingkirkan Bayern Munich, midweek ini.

Meski demikian, Fergie masih meyakini kualitas Berba. Striker 29 tahun ini sebenarnya bagus namun karena desakan taktik striker tunggal di MU maka mau tidak mau Berba harus rela dipinggirkan.

"Ya, saya masih percaya dia. Dia adalah pemain yang bagus dan jelas tak ada alasan mengapa kita meragukan itu," seru Ferguson yang dikutip Soccernet.

"Dimitar, dia telah bermain dengan baik di banyak pertandingan tapi kami memilih untuk bermain dengan satu striker."

Sejak diboyong ke Old Trafford, Berbatov telah mencetak 21 gol dari 59 kali penampilannya di Liga Premier. Dua belas gol diantaranya dicetak Berba musim in

Dimitar Berbatov flounders amid Manchester United's formation failings
Sir Alex Ferguson's men are paying in priceless title points for forgetting how to play 4-4-2

As Dimitar Berbatov dropped ever deeper, Manchester United fans may have wondered if Sir Alex Ferguson's friendship with Sam Allardyce is exactly healthy. Manchester United's manager and his Blackburn counterpart are great pals – they were together at Aintree last week – and specialise in creating off-field siege mentalities. Indeed they could almost be called soul mates.

Fair enough but as Berbatov at times filled both the right-back and defensive midfield positions, leaving Federico Macheda toiling alone up front, one wondered if the managers' friendship had gone beyond a shared dislike of the BBC and mutual admiration for trade unionism. Is it spilling over into on-pitch affairs?

Where Allardyce and Ferguson have always differed – and still do – is when it comes to football vision. Manchester United's manager harbours a much more aesthetically pleasing, not to mention more attacking, philosophy than his Ewood Park neighbour but a shared mistrust of 4-4-2 appears to be drawing their beliefs closer than could once be imagined.

Allardyce recently claimed the formation is "out-dated" and "does not work" in the modern Premier League and it appears Ferguson agrees with him.

While United's interpretation of 4-5-1 can still be breathtakingly attack minded and Blackburn's tends to be of the backs- to-the-wall variety – 50% of Rovers' goals come from set pieces – both managers are suspicious of an orthodox attacking pairing.

Although Ferguson is a confirmed fan of a lone striker these days, on paper United's starting system here for once was 4-4-2 with Macheda and Berbatov being supported by Antonio Valencia and Nani. In practice, though, it soon morphed into 4-5-1 as Berbatov spent much of the game hovering far too near the halfway line for his own – or his team's good.

Increasingly frustrated with team-mates, the Bulgarian lacks the capacityto lift them in the way Wayne Rooneycustomarily does. Berbatov, for all his technical brilliance, quite simply does not boast the charisma and dynamism of a Cristiano Ronaldo or an Eric Cantona and singularly failed to bring Macheda into things.

If only Ferguson had a latter-day version of Blackburn's 1995 SAS. Fifteen years ago this spring Kenny Dalglish's Rovers pipped United to the title thanks to Alan Shearer's and Chris Sutton's goal-heavy attacking alliance and its augmentation by full throttle wing play from Stuart Ripley and Jason Wilcox.

When Chris Samba limped off injured to be replaced by a still not fully fit Ryan Nelsen, Berbatov, Macheda, Valencia and Nani could have done worse than copied that quartet's old blueprint.

Instead Berbatov – gesticulating increasingly despairingly to team-mates in the wrong place and cursing Rovers defenders insisting on clipping his ankles – continued retreating. This left the 18-year-old Blackburn centre-half Phil Jones to win man of the match instead of being bullied into submission.

"I wouldn't say we rattled him [Berbatov]," Allardyce said. "We just made contact when we needed to."

United, it appears, have forgotten how to play 4-4-2 properly. That old high- tempo system may be passé in Europe but, had it been deployed full on, it just might have been too good for Jones and Co today.

In Rooney's absence United appear to have no Plan B.

When I was a lad I went down to Maine Road a couple of times with a few lads to watch the football. If one of my blue mates had a ticket going spare and I had nothing better to do, then I’d go along. I only saw a handful of games but it was interesting enough going to someone else’s ground.
I don’t know how it works for other people, but I was always far more interested in Manchester United than I was in football in general. Whilst lots of kids used to collect those football stickers and talk about which players were the best in the league, I only really cared about United. I didn’t really know much about other clubs and hadn’t really considered that other clubs or other fans were different to ours.
When going to Maine Road, the thing that struck me as the biggest difference (yes, even more than the quality of football being played!) was how angry the City fans got. They were shouting and swearing at their own players from start to finish, berating their players for every mistake and banging on about it being “typical” whenever a player messed up. Even when winning, there wasn’t a very pleasant atmosphere. They were angry and waiting for failure.
I’m not trying to argue that the atmosphere at United, home or away, is always perfect, but there is more often than not the belief that we can do something and the faith in our own players.
But today sections of our fans were booing Dimitar Berbatov and I feel like an idiot for thinking I belonged to a better group of supporters than that. They may have been the minority but there was still enough of them for it to be obviously heard.
We needed to beat Blackburn today and because we haven’t it’s probably a case of when, not if, we see Chelsea lift the trophy.
With 20 minutes to go and us in desperate need of a goal, our fans started booing and verbally abusing our only striker. You have to wonder what motivates people like this. You may think Berbatov is the worst and laziest and most frustrating player to ever wear our shirt, that is an opinion anyone is entitled to, but when he is on the pitch playing for us in a game we need to win, it doesn’t take a genius to work out it would be in our best interest to cheer him on.
He collided with a player off the ball and went down holding his face. I haven’t seen any replays of what happened but he had to go off the pitch for treatment and I’d like to think that was because he’d actually been hurt, not because he felt like had nothing better to do. As he was holding his face, the boos and insults came pouring out. “Get up you lazy twat!” followed by “**** off back to Spurs, Berbatov you cunt!” and “What a ****ing waste of money, you ****ing cunt, Fergie get that twat off the pitch!” and the like. Moments after coming back on the pitch, a ball through from Berbatov to Nani was cut out by a Blackburn defender and met with more boos from our fans and more insults.
I’m stood there thinking how did it come to this? How did it happen that a player who wears our shirt, who shunned City’s money to play for us (unlike that prick Tevez whose chant our fans sung relentlessly over Sir Alex Ferguson’s end of season speech after we had just been named Champions, meaning he had to cut it short because he could no longer be heard), who is in the top ten scorers in the league, has come to receive such abuse from our own fans. The bandwagon has got out of control and people are getting hysterical with it. I’m all for a difference of opinion, blogs like this thrive because of them, but I am sickened and embarrassed by the attitude of too many of our fans now.
So, what does it come down to? Let’s narrow it down. Carlos Tevez was benched for the big games last season and complained relentlessly to the press about it. Dimitar Berbatov has been benched for the big games this season and we haven’t heard a single negative word from him in the press about it. (‘What is the best thing about being a Manchester United player?’ he was asked. With a smile, ‘being a Manchester United player’ he replied.) But Tevez was still adored and Berbatov is booed. Can anyone explain that?
Maybe the issue is to do with goalscoring. Berbatov has played 1851 minutes of football in the league this season and has scored 12 goals, the equivalent of 1 goal per 154 minutes (2 hours 34 minutes) on the park. Last season, Tevez played 1856 minutes of football in the league, scored 5 goals, the equivalent of 1 goal per 371 minutes (6 hours 11 minutes) on the park. But Tevez was still adored whilst Berbatov is booed. Can anyone explain that?
Maybe the issue is to do with assists. Berbatov has 6 assists this season (21 players in the league have assisted more goals than him) whilst Tevez had 3 assists last season (73 players in the league assisted more goals than him). Looking at goals and assists, Berbatov has scored/created 1 goal per 103 minutes on the park (1 hour 43 minutes) whilst Tevez scored/created 1 goal per 232 minutes on the park (3 hours 52 minutes). But Tevez was still adored whilst Berbatov is booed. Can anyone explain that?
So, which boxes did Tevez tick that Berbatov doesn’t? He ran around a lot. I mean, **** me, he ran around a lot. He lost the ball and he wouldn’t stop running around until we got possession back. I loved that too, I think it’s a great quality to have, but I think there are qualities that come higher. Scoring more goals is more important, something Berbatov has done. Creating more goals is more important, something Berbatov has done. Wanting to play for Manchester United more than the money of Manchester City is more important, something Berbatov has done. But because Berbatov doesn’t run around like a headless chicken, our fans call him lazy, and now boo him, whilst Tevez, who was nowhere near as effective last season as Berbatov has been this, was worshipped by our fans. Is this for ****ing real?
Our fans reached an embarrassing low today and got the result they asked for. You’re not going to motivate your players to do well, any of them, if you’re singling one of them out for abuse. The fact that he was our only striker on the park adds to the insanity. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!
Fine, for whatever reason, our fans adored Tevez last season, regardless of the fact he was **** in front of goal and complained tirelessly in the last few months, and for whatever reason, they don’t like Berbatov. I can’t understand it but I can understand that not everyone is going to have the same opinion. But the abuse Berbatov received today was shameful and embarrassing. On that performance on the pitch, our team doesn’t deserve to win the league, and on that performance in the stands, neither do our fans.
To quote a very wise man: “On you go. He’s a ****ing great player. You are all ****ing idiots.”

Jiaaaaaaaaaahh...yg versi Indonesia ada gk Om.. :peace:

[Mahesa_Jenar]

hehehe... nice..
tapi hujatan pada Barbatov bukan apa-apa.. Itu hanya sekedar menunjukkan bahwa dia adalah bagian dari United. Kalau tidak, ngapain kita capek-capek..?
Bahkan living legend macam Sir Ryan Giggs (eh.. udah Sir belum yah..?) pun pernah dicemooh habis-habisan oleh fans... But a true hero always stand up and speak up, no matter what... and yet we still love Giggs until now, and forever (dunno bout Berba...:hammer:)
Itu sebagai tanda cinta, hanya bentuknya yang berbeda....

[and1]

With 20 minutes to go and us in desperate need of a goal, our fans started booing and verbally abusing our only striker.

knapa sampai fans kita boo berbatov? bukan tanpa alasan tentunya

kalo menurut gw sih, ini adalah bentuk rasa frustasi yg sudah mencapai puncaknya, seperti yg dirasakan sebagian temen2 semua, seperti yg dikatakan salah satu temen kita di thread sebelah

setiap sblm match, kita selalu berharap banyak thdp berbatov, dan hasil akhirnya lebih sering mengecewakan drpd memenuhi harapan, lama2 pasti rasa kesal & frustasi yg timbul, mgkn itulah yg membuat berba mendapat kritikan tajam

itu komen org luar kan, jd ga hanya temen2 di sini yg frustasi ngeliat berba, fans luar pun jg pny pandangan sama

segitu dulu komen gw, maap kalo ada yg ga sependapat

[inside_united]

To put things into perspective,

This season, wearing the blue jersey of Manchester, Carlos Tevez played 30 games, 2497 minutes, scored 22 goals and created 7 assists. That means an average of 1 goal of every 114 minutes and he has scored/created goals every 86 minutes.

You can pick your own statistic to back up your arguments, but it's just cheap to leave out the other statistic to manipulate people to buy your argument.

I loved that too, I think it’s a great quality to have, but I think there are qualities that come higher. Scoring more goals is more important, something Berbatov has done. Creating more goals is more important, something Berbatov has done. Wanting to play for Manchester United more than the money of Manchester City is more important, something Berbatov has done. But because Berbatov doesn’t run around like a headless chicken, our fans call him lazy, and now boo him, whilst Tevez, who was nowhere near as effective last season as Berbatov has been this, was worshipped by our fans. Is this for ****ing real?
Our fans reached an embarrassing low today and got the result they asked for. You’re not going to motivate your players to do well, any of them, if you’re singling one of them out for abuse. The fact that he was our only striker on the park adds to the insanity. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!
Fine, for whatever reason, our fans adored Tevez last season, regardless of the fact he was **** in front of goal and complained tirelessly in the last few months, and for whatever reason, they don’t like Berbatov. I can’t understand it but I can understand that not everyone is going to have the same opinion. But the abuse Berbatov received today was shameful and embarrassing. On that performance on the pitch, our team doesn’t deserve to win the league, and on that performance in the stands, neither do our fans.
To quote a very wise man: “On you go. He’s a ****ing great player. You are all ****ing idiots.”

hwhwhwh...yang bold adalah satu2nya poin yang membuatku tetap mendukung dan berniat menyemangati Berbatov sampai saat ini...

To put things into perspective,

This season, wearing the blue jersey of Manchester, Carlos Tevez played 30 games, 2497 minutes, scored 22 goals and created 7 assists. That means an average of 1 goal of every 114 minutes and he has scored/created goals every 86 minutes.

You can pick your own statistic to back up your arguments, but it's just cheap to leave out the other statistic to manipulate people to buy your argument.

dan ini jawaban yang tepat untuk mengembalikan masalah ke perspektif yang benar...nice on, bro...hwhwhwh...

Dimitar Berbatov could be sold by Manchester United in the summer

Dimitar Berbatov could be leaving Manchester United in the summer as manager Sir Alex Ferguson will decide whether to sell the Bulgarian international tomorrow.

Ferguson is set to convene with his senior staff for their annual discussion of which players should be kept and which should be sold.

With United faltering to a goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers on Sunday there have been questions about the striking options that support Wayne Rooney up front.

With his scouts compiling who they think should be purchased this summer, Ferguson could replace the inconsistent Berbatov with an expensive new face, with Valencia hit man David Villa among the rumoured targets, according to The Mirror.

The 29-year-old’s value can only drop as he gets older, and if United get a bid at or near £20million they could take it and use the money to help secure a top striker.

Young Mexican striker Javier Hernandez recently signed with United, but the club still have to find future replacements for aging veterans Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.

Berbatov came to United from Tottenham Hotspur for almost £31m in 2008, but the Bulgarian could be on the more once again.

Berbatov Ditendang Akhir Musim ini?
Doni Wahyudi - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/04/13/72/Berba-Getty285.jpg


Manchester - Kesabaran Sir Alex Ferguson pada Dimitar Berbatov sepertinya sudah habis. Dikabarkan kalau bos Manchester United itu bakal mendepak Dimitar Berbatov di penghujung musim ini dan menggaet Karim Benzema.

Didatangkan dengan biaya mahal, sekitar 30,75 juta poundsterling, dari Tottenham Hotspur, Berbatov dianggap sebagai pembelian gagal. Sejak pertama tiba di Old Trafford pada 2008 lalu, dia tak pernah benar-benar jadi andalan MU di lini depan.

Ketidakpercayaan Fergie pada striker asal Bulgaria itu terlihat saat The Red Devils menjamu Bayern Munich di leg kedua babak perempatfinal. Butuh kemenangan untuk memastikan lolos, Fergie malah berjudi dengan tetap menurunkan striker andalannya, Wayne Rooney.

Beberapa hari sebelumnya Berba juga tak bisa berbuat banyak membantu 'Setan Merah' saat ditundukkan Chelsea di Old Trafford. Sebagai catatan, itulah satu-satunya laga MU menghadapi tim Big Four musim ini di mana Fergie mempercayakan Berbatov sebagai starter.

Yang terakhir, dua hari lalu, saat The Red Devils melawat ke Blackburn Rovers, mantan striker Bayern Leverkusen itu juga tak menunjukkan peran besar setelah dimainkan sejak menit awal. Pulang membawa hasil imbang 0-0, MU terancam tercecer makin jauh dari Chelsea di puncak klasemen.

Rangkaian kondisi tersebut diyakini membuat Fergie berencana menjual Berbatov di akhir musim nanti. Demikian dikutip dari TheSun.

Nama striker pengganti sudah disiapkan Fergie, dia adalah Karim Benzema. Pesepakbola asal Prancis yang kini membela Real Madrid itu sesungguhnya jadi incaran MU di musim panas lalu, meski kemudian gagal didapat karena harga yang terlalu tinggi.

Di Los Merengues, Benzema hingga kini juga belum menunjukkan kehebatan aslinya. Beberapakali terhadang cedera, Benzema kalah bersaing dengan Gonzalo Higuain dan Cristiano Ronaldo yang kini kerap jadi tandem di lini depan.

United flop is Dimi Berbatoff
-thesun.co.uk-

http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01023/berba-280_1023421a.jpg

MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to take a massive hit on Dimitar Berbatov and dump him at the end of the season.

The Bulgarian has struggled to make an impact since his £30.75million switch from Spurs in September 2008.

His performances in the defeat against Chelsea and Sunday's goalless draw at Blackburn have been the final straw for many fans.

And manager Alex Ferguson also looks to have lost faith in the club's record signing.

Fergie opted for a half-fit Wayne Rooney against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final second leg rather than risk Berbatov.

The striker did get the nod for the title crunch with Chelsea but it was his first start against any of United's big-four rivals this season.

Fergie argues his preference for playing one up front in European games has restricted Berbatov's action.

But the last two games have shown when he does start, he cannot be relied upon. Berbatov, 29, has also been rapped in Bulgaria over his displays for the national team.

With United's title bid all but over Ferguson is looking ahead to next season.

His No 1 target a year ago, Karim Benzema, will be back on the market this summer after a poor season at Real Madrid.

Ferguson could get his man for the £25m he originally offered before Real stepped in with a £35m bid.

dapet suara konsumen eh suara suporter nih, simak yuu..

judulnya : untuk para pembenci Berbatov, mesti baca!

When I was a lad I went down to Maine Road a couple of times with a few lads to watch the football. If one of my blue mates had a ticket going spare and I had nothing better to do, then I’d go along. I only saw a handful of games but it was interesting enough going to someone else’s ground.
I don’t know how it works for other people, but I was always far more interested in Manchester United than I was in football in general. Whilst lots of kids used to collect those football stickers and talk about which players were the best in the league, I only really cared about United. I didn’t really know much about other clubs and hadn’t really considered that other clubs or other fans were different to ours.
When going to Maine Road, the thing that struck me as the biggest difference (yes, even more than the quality of football being played!) was how angry the City fans got. They were shouting and swearing at their own players from start to finish, berating their players for every mistake and banging on about it being “typical” whenever a player messed up. Even when winning, there wasn’t a very pleasant atmosphere. They were angry and waiting for failure.
I’m not trying to argue that the atmosphere at United, home or away, is always perfect, but there is more often than not the belief that we can do something and the faith in our own players.
But today sections of our fans were booing Dimitar Berbatov and I feel like an idiot for thinking I belonged to a better group of supporters than that. They may have been the minority but there was still enough of them for it to be obviously heard.
We needed to beat Blackburn today and because we haven’t it’s probably a case of when, not if, we see Chelsea lift the trophy.
With 20 minutes to go and us in desperate need of a goal, our fans started booing and verbally abusing our only striker. You have to wonder what motivates people like this. You may think Berbatov is the worst and laziest and most frustrating player to ever wear our shirt, that is an opinion anyone is entitled to, but when he is on the pitch playing for us in a game we need to win, it doesn’t take a genius to work out it would be in our best interest to cheer him on.
He collided with a player off the ball and went down holding his face. I haven’t seen any replays of what happened but he had to go off the pitch for treatment and I’d like to think that was because he’d actually been hurt, not because he felt like had nothing better to do. As he was holding his face, the boos and insults came pouring out. “Get up you lazy twat!” followed by “**** off back to Spurs, Berbatov you cunt!” and “What a ****ing waste of money, you ****ing cunt, Fergie get that twat off the pitch!” and the like. Moments after coming back on the pitch, a ball through from Berbatov to Nani was cut out by a Blackburn defender and met with more boos from our fans and more insults.
I’m stood there thinking how did it come to this? How did it happen that a player who wears our shirt, who shunned City’s money to play for us (unlike that prick Tevez whose chant our fans sung relentlessly over Sir Alex Ferguson’s end of season speech after we had just been named Champions, meaning he had to cut it short because he could no longer be heard), who is in the top ten scorers in the league, has come to receive such abuse from our own fans. The bandwagon has got out of control and people are getting hysterical with it. I’m all for a difference of opinion, blogs like this thrive because of them, but I am sickened and embarrassed by the attitude of too many of our fans now.
So, what does it come down to? Let’s narrow it down. Carlos Tevez was benched for the big games last season and complained relentlessly to the press about it. Dimitar Berbatov has been benched for the big games this season and we haven’t heard a single negative word from him in the press about it. (‘What is the best thing about being a Manchester United player?’ he was asked. With a smile, ‘being a Manchester United player’ he replied.) But Tevez was still adored and Berbatov is booed. Can anyone explain that?
Maybe the issue is to do with goalscoring. Berbatov has played 1851 minutes of football in the league this season and has scored 12 goals, the equivalent of 1 goal per 154 minutes (2 hours 34 minutes) on the park. Last season, Tevez played 1856 minutes of football in the league, scored 5 goals, the equivalent of 1 goal per 371 minutes (6 hours 11 minutes) on the park. But Tevez was still adored whilst Berbatov is booed. Can anyone explain that?
Maybe the issue is to do with assists. Berbatov has 6 assists this season (21 players in the league have assisted more goals than him) whilst Tevez had 3 assists last season (73 players in the league assisted more goals than him). Looking at goals and assists, Berbatov has scored/created 1 goal per 103 minutes on the park (1 hour 43 minutes) whilst Tevez scored/created 1 goal per 232 minutes on the park (3 hours 52 minutes). But Tevez was still adored whilst Berbatov is booed. Can anyone explain that?
So, which boxes did Tevez tick that Berbatov doesn’t? He ran around a lot. I mean, **** me, he ran around a lot. He lost the ball and he wouldn’t stop running around until we got possession back. I loved that too, I think it’s a great quality to have, but I think there are qualities that come higher. Scoring more goals is more important, something Berbatov has done. Creating more goals is more important, something Berbatov has done. Wanting to play for Manchester United more than the money of Manchester City is more important, something Berbatov has done. But because Berbatov doesn’t run around like a headless chicken, our fans call him lazy, and now boo him, whilst Tevez, who was nowhere near as effective last season as Berbatov has been this, was worshipped by our fans. Is this for ****ing real?
Our fans reached an embarrassing low today and got the result they asked for. You’re not going to motivate your players to do well, any of them, if you’re singling one of them out for abuse.

remember Alan Smith??? less technique and maybe less goals that Berbatov (CMIIW) but he still adored by the fans until now.
do u know why?
dalam beberapa interview SAF pernah bilang kalo " I love TRIERS, The Fans love TRIERS"
as far as i can remember Berba's game as a TRIER was in The Carling Cup against Villa.
Sorry to say Berba's standart as a TRIER jauh di bawah Smudge dan Tevez.
IMHO :malu:

kalo saya pribadi, knapa msh respek sm alan smith, krn gaya maennya dia yg selalu ngotot, sgt menyenangkan ngeliat alan smith maen, dan kayanya sblm dia jd midfield, dia sering ngegolin dah, awal musim 04-05 saat ruudtje cedera

momen berkesan, saat smith msh jd striker, sebuah pertandingan tandang melawan fulham, alan smith kehilangan bola di kotak penalti lawan, tetapi dia balik mengejar defendernya, sebuah tackling dr seorang penyerang di kotak penalti lawan utk merebut bola kembali, dan diakhiri dg sebuah gol dr smith!!

Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov won't be leaving Old Trafford this summer

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/04/15/article-0-0917EA40000005DC-308_468x496.jpg


Dimitar Berbatov's agent insists the Manchester United striker will be staying at Old Trafford.

The Bulgaria international, a £30million arrival from Tottenham two years ago, has been in Wayne Rooney's shadow for most of the season and has failed to make his mark during the England striker's absence through injury.

Berbatov, 29, has scored 12 goals this season and divides opinion among team-mates and supporters alike with some unable to see past his lack of work-rate. Others point out his touch, close control and ability to bring others into the game.

There has been talk of Berbatov heading for the exit this summer but Emil Danchev, who represents the Bulgarian, said: 'Sir Alex Ferguson has already made his opinion known on this. I do not think he has to re-affirm his confidence in him every other day. I prefer to trust Ferguson.'

STATS: Berbatov at Spurs vs Berbatov at United

Manchester United forked out £30m for Dimitar Berbatov after Daniel Levy stuck to the asking price we didn’t want to pay. The downside for us was we had to pay over the odds for a player Sir Alex Ferguson really wanted, whilst Tottenham had a load of money in the bank but couldn’t do anything with it given the deal was concluded at midnight on the transfer deadline day.

The general feeling from our fans was happiness and excitement though. We had learnt that morning that City had got involved, had met the asking price we had yet to, and were offering the player far more in wages than we would be able to. For us to secure the deal made for what was probably the most exciting transfer deadline day ever for us.

However, with that £30m price tag came a huge amount of responsibility for the Bulgarian striker. Despite not even bothering to meet Mark Hughes, knowing that at the very least it would probably drive up the wages United were prepared to offer, United fans rightly had high expectations of the massively expensive player.

In his first season, he struggled to meet those expectations and struggled to win over the fans. His touch, link up play and vision were there for all to see, but for a £30m striker, you want goals, and the 9 he scored in the league were rightly not seen as a good enough return. However, for the Berbafans, it was hard to ignore that only one player in the Premiership assisted more goals than him, with creativity being a major selling point for the player.

This season, Berbatov has greatly improved on the goalscoring front and has crept in to the top ten scorers in the league. Considering his knee injury in the first half of the season and the manager’s decision to exclude him when playing 451 for certain games, this is an impressive feat.

But now that Berbatov is scoring more freely, our fans still have an axe to grind/bangwagon to jump on, and this reached its climax at Blackburn on Sunday.

So, have United got the player Sir Alex wanted? We knew we weren’t getting a Carlos Tevez type, who would chase down every loose ball, but is the Berbatov we have the player the manager wanted? He knew £30m was too much, that’s why he refused the deal all summer, but in the end paid out the money. But is he a shadow of the player he was at Spurs? Are the fans who cleverly dub him Berbaflop well within their rights?

We’re going to look at the goals and assists, like always, but there’s now the added element of what percentage of their teams’ goals the players were behind. To give you some comparison, last season Rooney scored 12, assisted 7, and that works out at 28% of Manchester United’s total goals scored. You would rightly expect Berbatov’s goal contribution at Spurs to be a lot higher than for us.

We’re also going to look at the stats of two former reds who were the hard working types, who ran non-stop for 90 minutes, who were totally adored by our fans, to see where the priorities of our fans lie in qualities they look for in a striker. How has Berbatov contributed in comparison to them and is goal contribution enough if you’re not going to run around trying to win every ball?

Assists: 3 (74th highest in the league)
Goals and assists: 8
Goals scored/created: 1 per 232 minutes (3 hours 52 minutes)
Percentage of team’s goals scored/created: 12%

CONCLUSION: The number of goals Berbatov has scored and created this season is of a higher rate than any of his four years in England, higher than both Carlos Tevez’s years at United as well as Alan Smith’s first year at United (and only year he played as an out and out striker).

Berbatov has scored/assisted almost a quarter of a goals this season, despite not playing anywhere near as much, and scored/assisted over a quarter of our goals last season when competing with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Tevez.

Looking at this season, Berbatov has scored or created a goal for United almost once a game, (1 per game + 13 minutes), but that doesn’t get any credit, whilst Tevez needed almost four hours to score or assist a goal last season, and Smithy needed three and a half hours.

Interesting then that Berbatov is considered a flop and is booed by sections of our support, whilst Carlos Tevez and Alan Smith were adored.

What does that tell us about the standards of some United fans? Running around and looking to be working hard is a more admirable quality in a striker than scoring and creating goals. Great.

If Berbatov cost us £10m I honestly don’t think there would be a problem but that price tag is the worst thing that could ever happen to him. I have long been a defender of Berbatov but I am now beginning to side with those who think we should get rid. He is never going to prosper in the increasingly hostile environment our fans are creating, so maybe it is time he got out and joined a club where he could be adored, the way we adored Tevez and Smith. The manager hasn’t adapted our tactics to suit Berbatov, the way he has done for Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, so maybe that tells us all we need to know. The manager wanted him enough to eventually pay out £30m but not enough to take a risk in trying to find tactics which will compliment him, so there’s not a lot Berbatov can do about it. Against top sides, the manager is worried we’ll be overrun in midfield, a possible indication of the lacking of world class quality in this position, and the Bulgarian pays the price. If we had a Roy Keane-Paul Scholes at their peak combination, would the manager feel the need to play five midfielders and just one striker? Regardless, the press fancy his time to be up and if he leaves now he can go down in the history books as a Manchester United flop, a title I’m sure Levy will be happy with, knowing his price tag always ensured it would be given. But it all could have been so different.

I wonder how much Newcastle would want for Smithy eh? Berb out, Smith in? Or better still, let’s sign that Karim Benzema, who turned us down in the summer to kiss the Real Madrid’s badge, and then our fans will be happy.

We’re also going to look at the stats of two former reds who were the hard working types, who ran non-stop for 90 minutes, who were totally adored by our fans, to see where the priorities of our fans lie in qualities they look for in a striker. How has Berbatov contributed in comparison to them and is goal contribution enough if you’re not going to run around trying to win every ball?

Percentage of team’s goals scored/created: 12%

CONCLUSION: The number of goals Berbatov has scored and created this season is of a higher rate than any of his four years in England, higher than both Carlos Tevez’s years at United as well as Alan Smith’s first year at United (and only year he played as an out and out striker).

Berbatov has scored/assisted almost a quarter of a goals this season, despite not playing anywhere near as much, and scored/assisted over a quarter of our goals last season when competing with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Tevez.

Looking at this season, Berbatov has scored or created a goal for United almost once a game, (1 per game + 13 minutes), but that doesn’t get any credit, whilst Tevez needed almost four hours to score or assist a goal last season, and Smithy needed three and a half hours.

Interesting then that Berbatov is considered a flop and is booed by sections of our support, whilst Carlos Tevez and Alan Smith were adored.

What does that tell us about the standards of some United fans? Running around and looking to be working hard is a more admirable quality in a striker than scoring and creating goals. Great.

If Berbatov cost us £10m I honestly don’t think there would be a problem but that price tag is the worst thing that could ever happen to him. I have long been a defender of Berbatov but I am now beginning to side with those who think we should get rid. He is never going to prosper in the increasingly hostile environment our fans are creating, so maybe it is time he got out and joined a club where he could be adored, the way we adored Tevez and Smith. The manager hasn’t adapted our tactics to suit Berbatov, the way he has done for Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, so maybe that tells us all we need to know. The manager wanted him enough to eventually pay out £30m but not enough to take a risk in trying to find tactics which will compliment him, so there’s not a lot Berbatov can do about it. Against top sides, the manager is worried we’ll be overrun in midfield, a possible indication of the lacking of world class quality in this position, and the Bulgarian pays the price. If we had a Roy Keane-Paul Scholes at their peak combination, would the manager feel the need to play five midfielders and just one striker? Regardless, the press fancy his time to be up and if he leaves now he can go down in the history books as a Manchester United flop, a title I’m sure Levy will be happy with, knowing his price tag always ensured it would be given. But it all could have been so different.

I wonder how much Newcastle would want for Smithy eh? Berb out, Smith in? Or better still, let’s sign that Karim Benzema, who turned us down in the summer to kiss the Real Madrid’s badge, and then our fans will be happy.

boleh boleh boleh....:D

yah tapi sayang juga yah SAF yang selalu komentar atas kinerja bagus Berba tapi ternyata sering tidak dibuktikan di lapangan... ato kata laennya lebih sering di taruh di bench......

kenapa yah???? :muscarf:

[inside_united]

Nanti gue telaah lagi statistiknya, tapi kalo di akhir artikel itu si Scott The Red bilang bahwa Sir Alex tidak menerapkan taktik yang sesuai dengan kemampuan Berbatov, apa ya adil kalau kita membandingkannya dengan Tevez? Apakah taktik yang dulu dipakai musim lalu itu memang dioptimalkan untuk seorang Tevez? Coba bandingkan juga dengan statistiknya Tevez musim ini waktu maen sama City juga dong... artikelnya kok gue rasa bias, Scott The Red ini kan yang nulis artikel soal fans United yang maki-maki Berba di pertandingan lawan Blackburn. Ada poin-poin dia yang bener, tapi banyak juga yang dimanipulasi, entah sengaja atau tidak, sehingga artikelnya jadi bias.

Berbatov: I want Man Utd stay
-tribalfootball.com-

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01578/dimitar_berbatov2_1578182c.jpg

Dimitar Berbatov is desperate to stay with Manchester United.

Berbatov has bore the brunt of blame for United's shock slide in the last three weeks.

And he admitted to The Sun: "People have not seen the real Berbatov this season and I would have liked to have done more for the club.

"My dream is still to triumph with United and win another league title.

"At Spurs I have scored more goals with less problems and at United it has been more difficult.

"But I do not worry about the critics. In football it is harder to be a forward because people analyse errors more than success. My morale is high and I am always trying to overcome the situation."

Berbatov Mohon Kesempatan Membuktikan Diri

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2010/04/18/88433_dimitar_berbatov_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Striker asal Bulgaria yang bermain bersama Manchester United, Dimitar Berbatov, mulai berusaha mencuat dari tekanan. Berba -sapaannya- merasa kurang diberi kesempatan di Setan Merah. Padahal, kata Berba, kuliatas yang dilihat saat ini bukanlah kualitas bintang sebenarnya dari Berba.

"Orang belum melihat Berbatov yang sebenarnya musim ini. Saya ingin berbuat lebih untuk klub ini," kata Berba dikutip dari The Express Uk, Sabtu 17 April 2010.

Berba membandingkan prestasinya ketika membela Tottenham Hotspur dari tahun 2006 hingga 2008. Di London -kota markas Spurs- Berba mengaku bisa mencetak lebih banyak gol.

Dalam kurun dua tahun, pria bertinggi 188 cm itu bisa mencetak 46 gol dalam 102 penampilan.Namun di MU, Berba mengaku memiliki banyak masalah.

Sehingga lebih sulit untuk mencetak gol bersama skuat asuhan Sir Alex Ferguson ini. Musim 2009-2010, Berba sudah tampil di 39 pertandingan di segala kompetisi. Namun gol yang disumbangnya cukup minim untuk ukuran striker MU; 12.

"Saya tidak khawatir dengan kritik yang ada. Dalam sepakbola memang lebih sulit menjadi striker karena orang lebih suka menilai kesalahan daripada kesuksesan," kata Berba.

Berbatov Tolak Inter dan AC Milan

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/03/28/0219237p.jpg

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com — Emil Dantchev, agen penyerang Manchester United, Dimitar Berbatov, menyatakan, kliennya akan tetap bermain di Old Trafford musim depan meskipun ada sejumlah klub berminat kepadanya, termasuk Inter dan AC Milan.

Hal itu berkaitan dengan pemberitaan di Inggris dan Italia yang menyebutkan bahwa MU sudah tak sabar melihat lambatnya kemajuan Berbatov dan berpikir mencari penyerang baru. Di sisi lain, Inter Milan dan AC Milan disebut bersedia menampung Berbatov.

Dikatakan juga, Pelatih MU Alex Ferguson tertarik dengan pemain dari kedua klub tersebut, yaitu Mario Balotelli dan Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Inter disebut tak keberatan melepas Balotelli asal MU memberikan Berbatov plus sejumlah uang. Sementara itu, AC Milan siap memberikan uang plus Huntelaar untuk mendapatkan Berbatov.

Namun, menurut Dantchev, sebagus apa pun tawaran klub-klub tersebut, kliennya tak bakal membuka diri terhadap segala macam tawaran pindah.

"Saya bisa katakan, klien saya akan tetap di Inggris, tepatnya di Manchester United, musim depan," ujar Dantchev kepada Fcinternews.

"Dimitar memiliki kontrak yang harus dihormati di Manchester United dan tak punya alasan mempertimbangkan transfer kepada tim lain. Ia bahagia di United," ujarnya.

Berbatov sendiri sebelumnya sudah meminta maaf atas performanya yang tak kunjung memuaskan bagi tim. Namun, ia berjanji akan berusaha semakin keras meningkatkan permainannya. (FINT)

One glaring miss shows Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov is no King Eric

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/04/03/article-0-08FC9D09000005DC-644_306x423.jpg

Dimitar Berbatov shares many things in common with Eric Cantona, like a wonderful touch and a lack of mobility. But whereas King Eric would puff out his chest and rise to the important occasion, Berbatov fluffs his big moments.

With Wayne Rooney sidelined by his ankle injury, yesterday was the chance for Berbatov to make his own Manchester United history. But, with Chelsea winning 2-1, he blew a glorious chance to equalise.

With his talent and ability, Berbatov should have been able to volley past Petr Cech. But it didn't happen and you have to say that the wasted opportunity is symbolic of his entire time at Old Trafford following his £31million move from Spurs.

Now, instead of remaining title favourites, United have to play catch-up against Chelsea and a historic fourth title in a row looks doubtful.

While Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney fired on all cylinders in the past couple of years, Berbatov's lack of incisive moments did not really matter.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been able to use him as a supporting cast member and he has done enough against weaker teams to make it worthwhile.

But against Chelsea, United really needed Berbatov. And the outcome is that he still hasn't done it in the big games.

You suspect that if the ball had dropped to Cantona a dozen years ago, the ball would have ended in the top corner and the fans would have been talking about it for years. If the ball had dropped for Rooney yesterday, you suspect United would have drawn the game and stayed top.

The problem for Sir Alex is that he needs Berbatov against Bayern Munich this week so giving him a blast of the 'hairdryer' would be counter-productive. Despite appearances, Berbatov's problem is not that he doesn't care enough. If anything, it is because he is sensitive and fragile.

I remember people at Spurs telling me when United became interested in Berbatov that they had doubts over whether the Bulgarian would be able to cope with the enormous pressure of being expected to score and win every week.

Some players respond well to the Fergie treatment but the United manager will need to ruffle Berbatov's hair instead and keep telling him he's a great player. The striker will feel very down this morning and possibly blame himself for allowing Chelsea to leave with the points.

The big title showdown at Old Trafford also told us that United will miss Rooney during his enforced absence. For 45 minutes, their players were so lethargic, it was as if they were thinking: 'Oh no, Wayne isn't here. What do we do?'

Their problems were heightened by Chelsea being fresher as a result of being knocked out of the Champions League and not having to play in midweek.

United were awful in the first half, all at sea. Fergie probably gave them a coating at the interval - Berbatov excepted, of course - and they did improve in the second half, only to be undone by a poor offside decision for Didier Drogba's goal. Unfortunately for United, however, after Federico Macheda had given them a lifeline, Berbatov missed the sort of opportunity Rooney would have banged away.

This season's title race has had too many twists and turns to declare it all over now, however. Chelsea have tough fixtures to come and although they are in the driving seat, United will not give up, particularly with Rooney to come back in.

Although yesterday's game was slower than the high-octane encounters we've been used to between the two teams, there was plenty to enjoy, particularly for England manager Fabio Capello, who saw John Terry and Rio Ferdinand back to their best.

Joe Cole also did his World Cup chances no harm with the opening goal. Readers will know I am a big Cole fan and believe it is no coincidence that Chelsea have started banging in more goals since he has come into the team for Michael Ballack.

Cole is able to create danger out of nothing and is a proven force at the highest level, so I don't think it's too late for him to force his way into Capello's plans, even if he was left out of the last England squad.

Nistelrooy: Jangan Jual Berba Dulu, MU
Okdwitya Karina Sari - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/04/23/72/Berba-Getty-285.jpg

Hamburg - Mantan pemain Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy memberi dukungan kepada Dimitar Berbatov yang diisukan akan dijual. Menurut dia, MU seyogyanya memberi Berba kesempatan lagi.

Isu seputar penjualan Berbatov yang akan dilakukan MU di akhir musim ini santer terdengar. Kabar itu muncul lantaran performa Berba masih belum kunjung memenuhi harapan klub padahal sudah dibeli dengan harga sangat mahal.

Nistelrooy mengerti benar situasi dan tekanan yang dirasakan juniornya itu. Ketika direkrut oleh 'Setan Merah'dari PSV Eindhoven pada 2001, Ruudtje juga menjadi pemain dengan transfer termahal di Liga Inggris senilai 19 juta pounds.

Akan tetapi performa keduanya yang membedakan. Nistelrooy berhasil tampil cemerlang di musim pertamanya dengan torehan 36 gol dan total telah menyarangkan 150 gol dalam 219 kali penampilannya bersama MU.

Akan tetapi kondisi sebaliknya dialami Berbatov. Di musim perdananya, striker Bulgaria itu hanya mencetak 14 gol, sedangkan pundi-pundi golnya menyusut menjadi 12 gol padahal kompetisi yang diikuti MU kini tinggal Liga Primer yang hanya menyisakan tiga laga.

Nistelrooy mengerti benar situasi yang dirasakan Berba bahwa mengatasi tekanan sebagai salah satu pemain dengan transfer mahal tidaklah mudah. Untuk itu, ia menyarankan supaya Berbatov diberi kesempatan sekali lagi.

"Saya bisa merasakan dengan situasi yang dihadapinya. Dia bernilai 30 juta pounds, ada ekspektasi besar dan belum juga terwujud. Tetapi saya rasa, ketika dia mendapat dukungan dari manajer dan rekan se-tim, dia mustinya bertahan dan mencoba membalikkan situasi," ujar pemain terbaik Inggris 2002 itu kepada Mirror.

"Saya menilai dia seharusnya tidak pergi dulu. Ini adalah tahun keduanya jadi saya merasa dia patut diberi setidaknya satu tahun lagi. Saya tidak akanmeninggalkan United begitu mudah. Saya tahu ketika kita pergi maka kesempatan untuk kembali sudah tidak ada lagi," tuntas dia

Fergie: Berbatov Mengagumkan
Okezone

http://i.okezone.com/content/2010/04/25/45/326045/6ErLdwsdwL.jpg

MANCHESTER - Pelatih Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson melontarkan dukungan moral terhadap Dimitar Berbatov yang terus mendapat kritik atas performanya di lapangan. Ferguson mengaku puas dengan performa bomber Bulgaria pada kemenangan 3-1 atas Tottenham Hotspur, Sabtu (24/4/2010), kendati Berba tidak berhasil menorehkan gol atas namanya.

The Red Devils kembali memimpin klasemen Premier League usai memaksimalkan laga krusial melawan Spurs. Mengingat kegemilangan Lily Whites -julukan Spurs- melibas Arsenal dan Chelsea dalam dua pekan terakhir, pertandingan ini memang menjadi ujian berat bagi Ryan Giggs dkk.

Namun, kematangan United sebagai jawara dalam tiga musim terakhir masih sulit dibendung anak-anak asuh Harry Redknapp. Kendati Ledley King (70’) sempat menyamakan kedudukan setelah penalti Ryan Giggs di menit 58, tuan rumah berhasil meraup tiga angka penuh berkat gol Nani serta penalti kedua Giggs.

Berbatov yang diplot sebagai striker tunggal menggantikan Wayne Rooney sempat mendapat beberapa peluang emas mencetak gol. Sayang, upaya mantan bintang Spurs masih belum berhasil menggetarkan jala gawang Heurelho Gomes.

Performa Berbatov yang jauh dari ekspektasi fans kerap mencuatkan kritik pedas. Tak ayal, isu tentang penjualan dirinya akhir musim nanti kian santer terdengar. Meski begitu, Fergie toh tetap membela performa striker 29 tahun.

"Sepanjang laga, Berbatov tampil luar biasa. Dia adalah pemain hebat. Ketika Anda membeli seorang pemain dengan banderol 30 juta pounds dan dia tidak mencetak tiga gol per pekan, bisa dipastikan selalu muncul kritik," ujar Fergie seperti dikutip Sky Sports, Minggu (25/4/2010).

Selain itu, Fergie juga menyempatkan diri memuji gol kedua United yang dicetak Nani. "Kami menurunkan Kiko Macheda dan dia memberikan umpan cantik untuk Nani. Saya harus mengatakan, penyelesaian Nani sangat brilian. Mencetak gol seperti itu pada penghujung laga seperti tadi menunjukkan keberanian yang dia miliki," puji Fergie atas performa winger Portugal.

Berbatov must stand and deliver

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/404.$plit/C_71_article_1234409_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?27%2F04%2F2010%2009%3A20%3A31%3A208

Dimitar Berbatov has been ordered by Manchester United's management team to deliver more.

The enigmatic Bulgarian answered the call against his old club Spurs last Saturday with a mixture of grit and gold dust against Ledley King and Michael Dawson.

It was the kind of display that his supporters have championed but the £30.75m striker's critics have claimed is too infrequent.

The 29-year-old's Old Trafford future still remains in the balance with AC Milan, Bayern Munich and newly-promoted Newcastle all linked with a summer swoop.

Berbatov still has the Reds camp firmly on his side but Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant Mike Phelan reveals that they push the club's record buy more than most.

"A lot has been said about Berba. We know the qualities he has got," said Phelan.

Dimitar qualities

"All we ask from Dimitar is a little bit of something else. We have not seen that for a while. He can do that and we have seen him do it in the past.

"When we keep pushing and pushing him and he responds the right way, he is a handful for anybody. He did very well up-front, especially in the second-half."

With the outlook on his United future still questionable, his second half effort against Tottenham was judged to be a massive one.

Phelan agreed: "Yes. I think so, simply because everybody on the outside wants to judge individual players and what qualities they bring to a football team.

"Berba is a great talent. There is no question about that. As coaches and managers we demand more from great talents.

"The likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, we demand that from them as well and they produce. Berba is no different in that respect.

"He enjoyed himself on Saturday. He created opportunities and been unlucky with a couple of shots. We are pleased for him."

Fergie was also keen to praise Berbatov's influence.

"Throughout the game Dimitar was marvellous," said Sir Alex.

Critics

"He had three great attempts himself. One was blocked near the line and he had two great shots over the bar. He played a great role but he is a great player.

"It is one of these things when you buy a player at this club for £30m, if he isn't scoring three goals every week he is going to get his critics. It is part of life here.

"But he was fantastic against Spurs and led the line very, very well."

Berbatov dipped into his repertoire of silky touches to produce the back heel that sent Patrice Evra into the area that won United the breakthrough penalty.

And his lone unselfish battles with King and Dawson were hailed by Reds midfielder Darren Fletcher.

"Dimitar was throwing himself about up-front against two in-form centre-halves," said the Scot.

"He was causing a lot of problems with a lot of unselfish work that allowed others to claim credit for the win."

Yorke Minta Berba 'Tutup Kuping'
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/04/29/72/BerbatovAFPPaulEllis-isi.jpg

Manchester - Kritikan demi kritikan terus mendatangi Dimitar Berbatov lantaran performanya bersama Manchester United belum masuk level "luar biasa". Namun kalau dari Dwight Yorke, bukan kritikan yang datang, melainkan dukungan.

Banyak orang mengharapkan Berba tampil luar biasa untuk The Red Devils lantaran harga untuk memboyongnya juga luar biasa, yakni sekitar 30 juta poundsterling. Pendapat yang beredar, penampilan Berba dalam dua musim di MU belum menyamai harga tersebut.

Terbebanikah Berba? Well, kalau menurut Yorke, pemain asal Bulgaria itu tak seharusnya tertekan. Sebab, ia sudah membuktikan bahwa dirinya bisa tampil impresif bersama Tottenham Hotspur dulu.

Yorke, yang pernah membentuk duet maut bersama Andy Cole di lini depan MU, mengatakan bahwa sebaiknya Berba tutup kuping saja. Yang perlu ia lakukan adalah berkonsentrasi pada permainan di lapangan.

"Dia harus melupakan apa yang orang-orang katakan. Banyak orang selalu mencari kambing hitam dan biasanya mereka akan menyebut sebuah nama," ujar Yorke di ESPN Star.

"Saya yakin Dimitar sadar akan hal itu. Orang-orang mengharapkan dirinya mejadi sosok seperti ketika di Tottenham dan dia belum bisa melakukannya."

"Namun, ia bekerja sangat keras untuk membalikkan situasi ini dan para pemain mendukungnya," tukas Yorke.

Berbatov the scapegoat as United title hopes fade
Victory at Sunderland probably not enough as fans look for reasons for decline

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2010/5/2/1272832045474/Dimitar-Berbatov-006.jpg

In the circumstances, it was a Manchester United performance of class and achievement. Sir Alex Ferguson's players were quick to the ball, their passing was crisp and it was not until the final whistle that their body language betrayed them.

For a few seconds they just stood around, unsure perhaps how to react or whether it was appropriate to look pleased with themselves. Slowly, they started to move among one another, shaking hands, nodding in appreciation of each other's work but very little was said and it was all tinged with unmistakeable sadness.

They had just become only the third Premier League side to beat Sunderland on their own ground this season but the celebrations were restrained to say the least. No bearhugs, no piggy-backs, no let's-all-have-a-disco. Nobody even punched the air. Footballers usually like to get a bit silly when they have won away from home. But here was Rio Ferdinand with his hands on his hips. Paul Scholes looked like he had just lost the biggest match of his life. Dimitar Berbatov, on an afternoon of personal humiliation, headed straight down the tunnel. The others followed slowly; a brief clap to the away fans from just outside the centre circle but noticeably no closer and then they were gone.

Nani's 27th-minute goal had ensured the season must go to its final day before Chelsea can prise the championship trophy away from Old Trafford. Or, to put it another way, United had managed to prolong the agony for another week. Football can be a strange game and maybe Wigan Athletic can pull off something extraordinary at Stamford Bridge next Sunday but, then again, the chances are they probably won't. Wigan have taken only 11 points out of a possible 54 on their travels this season. They drew at Stamford Bridge two seasons ago with a last-minute goal from Emile Heskey, but Ferguson summed it up succinctly when he said: "Listen, we are clutching at straws a little bit."

And so, barring one last feat of escapology that would exceed anything David Blaine has done, the championship trophy will be leaving Old Trafford after three years. United have lost seven times in the league and there is a blame culture in football that means individuals will always be identified for special criticism. In this case, Berbatov, inset, has become the popular scapegoat and it is undeniable that he has endured a difficult year, particularly towards the business end of the season, but the reasons are more diverse than just one player's erratic form.

United can cite a luckless run of injuries (17 players have missed a month or more), the regression of players such as Michael Carrick and Ferdinand and the way the team have missed Cristiano Ronaldo and, to a lesser extent, Carlos Tevez – two players who have scored over 50 goals between them this season for Real Madrid and Manchester City respectively.

Selling Ronaldo was always going to hurt the team, not just because of his goals but also because of the sapping effect his presence can have on opponents. That wow factor has gone this season, even if Nani and Antonio Valencia have been two of the better performers. Berbatov, the club's most expensive player, has flickered only sporadically and, on a personal level, this game was another ordeal.

"We were careless with our finishing," Ferguson grizzled, and everyone knew who he meant after the Bulgarian's second-half misses. "Dimitar could have scored four."

But Berbatov is not the only player who has failed to excel. You look through United's squad to identify which players can legitimately be described as having brilliant seasons and the only ones who stand out are Rooney, Darren Fletcher and Patrice Evra. Too many have scored six or seven, but not eight or nine, out of 10. Last season, when the Professional Footballers' Association announced the shortlist for player-of-the-year, five of the six names came from Old Trafford. This year, Rooney was the club's only representative.

United are now relying on beating Stoke next weekend while hoping Chelsea, with only five points dropped at home all season, fail to beat Wigan. "You never know," Ferguson said.

"Football is a crazy game. I wouldn't insult Wigan in any shape or form because they are a really good football team and they will have a go." But in all honesty he didn't really look like he meant it.

MANCHESTER UNITED'S DIMITAR BERBATOV WILL BE BLOWN OUT
-dailystar.co.uk-

http://www.oleole.com/media/main/images/member_photos/group1/subgrp251/pl200910sunderland0-_372954.jpg

In the second minute of first-half injury-time at Sunderland and then in the 51st and 55th minutes, Dimitar Berbatov missed a hat-trick of easy chances for Manchester United.

It is why he will probably be sold on by manager Sir Alex Ferguson this summer. Berbatov remains a luxury.

No wonder he was hauled off 15 minutes after his final miss.

Dimitar Berbatov is staying at Manchester United, declares Sir Alex Ferguson

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/08/article-0-09671919000005DC-87_233x311.jpg

Sir Alex Ferguson will not dump his £30million striker Dimitar Berbatov despite another disappointing season.

The 29-year-old, the all-time leading scorer for Bulgaria, has divided opinion among United fans.

His critics question his attitude and insist he has not justified the United manager’s outlay that brought him from Tottenham two years ago.

He managed only 12 goals this season in 32 games and has scored only 21 times in total in the Premier League during his United career.

But his fans, including Ferguson, insist there are few better touch players around the area.

‘He is a very talented player and has a future at Manchester United,’ said Ferguson.

Berbatov Pecah Suara Fans Iblis Merah
Toto Pribadi

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2008/09/18/54379_dimitar_berbatov_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Suara fans Manchester United kini terpecah terkait masa depan Dimitar Berbatov. Satu pihak minta Sir Alex Ferguson mendepak Berbatov, di lain pihak meminta Fergie tetap memberi kesempatan striker Bulgaria itu.

Kapasitas Dimitar Berbatov bersama Manchester United semakin diragukan setelah musim ini ia hanya mampu mengoleksi 12 gol dalam 32 pertandingan Liga Inggris musim ini.

Berba hanya mengoleksi total 21 gol di Liga Inggris sejak bergabung dari Tottenham Hotspur pada 2008 silam. Padahal MU harus menggelontorkan dana sebesar 30 juta pounds untuk memboyong striker 29 tahun ini.

Bukan Ferguson jika mudah diintimidasi. Meski suara fans yang menentang keberadaan Berba lebih banyak namun manajer asal Skotlandia ini punya keyakinan Berba akan menunjukkan kelasnya.

"Dia seorang pemain bertalenta dan punya masa depan di Manchester United," ujar Ferguson seperti dilansir Daily Mail.

Sebelumnya beberapa klub memang dikaitkan dengan beberapa klub elit. Bahkan Spurs juga mengaku siap menampung Berba jika memang tak lagi dibutuhkan di Old Trafford.

Rumor lain mengatakan jika Berba akan digunakan Ferguson untuk memboyong Franck Ribery dari Bayern Munich. AC Milan juga siap mengajukan tawaran musim panas nanti. (mrc)

dia harus diruwat dulu di pra-musim biar penyelesaian akhirnya bagus & tidak banyak membuang-buang peluang emas musim depan :hammer: :hammer:

Berbatov Pecah Suara Fans Iblis Merah
Toto Pribadi

http://media.vivanews.com/thumbs2/2008/09/18/54379_dimitar_berbatov_300_225.jpg

VIVAnews - Suara fans Manchester United kini terpecah terkait masa depan Dimitar Berbatov. Satu pihak minta Sir Alex Ferguson mendepak Berbatov, di lain pihak meminta Fergie tetap memberi kesempatan striker Bulgaria itu.

Kapasitas Dimitar Berbatov bersama Manchester United semakin diragukan setelah musim ini ia hanya mampu mengoleksi 12 gol dalam 32 pertandingan Liga Inggris musim ini.

Berba hanya mengoleksi total 21 gol di Liga Inggris sejak bergabung dari Tottenham Hotspur pada 2008 silam. Padahal MU harus menggelontorkan dana sebesar 30 juta pounds untuk memboyong striker 29 tahun ini.

Bukan Ferguson jika mudah diintimidasi. Meski suara fans yang menentang keberadaan Berba lebih banyak namun manajer asal Skotlandia ini punya keyakinan Berba akan menunjukkan kelasnya.

"Dia seorang pemain bertalenta dan punya masa depan di Manchester United," ujar Ferguson seperti dilansir Daily Mail.

Sebelumnya beberapa klub memang dikaitkan dengan beberapa klub elit. Bahkan Spurs juga mengaku siap menampung Berba jika memang tak lagi dibutuhkan di Old Trafford.

Rumor lain mengatakan jika Berba akan digunakan Ferguson untuk memboyong Franck Ribery dari Bayern Munich. AC Milan juga siap mengajukan tawaran musim panas nanti. (mrc)

yeah.. dengan catatan : Kalau ada musim depan buat dia di Old Trafford... yang kayaknya meragukan.

21 gol dalam dua musim...?? dan kita harus membayar 30 juta pounds untuk itu... berarti rata-rata 1,3 juta pounds per golnya....

Berbatov Pensiun dari Timnas Bulgaria

http://www.detiksport.com/images/content/2010/05/13/73/Berbatov-Getty285.jpg

Sofia - Keputusan mengejutkan diambil Dimitar Berbatov terkait masa depannya di timnas Bulgaria. Striker Manchester United itu baru saja memutuskan menyudahi pengabdian buat negaranya dan memilih pensiun dari timnas.

"Saya sudah banyak memikirkan soal keputusan ini. Saya sudah bermain untuk tim nasional selama 11 tahun. Ada alasan besar dan alasan kecil dalam keputusan saya ini," papar Berbatov dalam konferensi pers yang diadakan di Sofia, Bulgaria, Kamis (13/5/2010) waktu setempat.

Cedera dan kelelahan menjadi alasan Berbatov untuk memilih gantung sepatu di timas. Keputusan tersebut menyudahi pengabdiannya buat Bulgaria setelah melakoni 74 pertandingan dan melesakkan 48 gol. Demikian dikutip dari situs resmi UEFA.

"Saya merasa lelah dan belakangan ini bermasalah dengan cedera. Jauh di lubuk hati, saya berpikir kalau inilah saatnya untuk berhenti," lanjut pesepakbola 29 tahun itu.

Berba memulai debutnya bersama timnas Bulgaria dalam laga menghadapi Yunani pada 17 November 1999 silam. Selain menjabat kapten, dia kini tercatat sebagai top skorer sepanjang masa Bulgaria.

Semoga, dengan pensiunnya Berba, semua konsentrasinya bisa dipake di MU, jadi bisa lebih maksimal kalo di Lapangan, secara sampe detik ini, masih keliatan 'sia-sia' duit yg 30 jeti itu. We still believe in Berba.

Jangan Lepas Berbatov, United!
Okezone

http://i.okezone.com/content/2010/05/13/45/332344/2Tmd6p9JPz.jpg

MANCHESTER - Masa depan Dimitar Berbatov di Manchester United terancam menyusul merebaknya isu penjualan bomber Bulgaria, akhir musim nanti. Legenda United, Denis Law, mengklaim, manajemen melakukan kesalahan besar jika memutus kontrak dengan Berbatov.

Gagal menampilkan performa optimal bersama Red Devils, Berbatov kabarnya akan masuk daftar jual pada bursa transfer 2010/2011. Mantan bintang Tottenham Hotspur menuai kritik atas performa yang tidak sesuai dengan banderol 30,75 juta pounds.

Sir Alex Ferguson disinyalir akan melepas Berba dan menggunakan hasil penjualannya untuk menggaet striker Real Madrid Karim Benzema. Namun, Law berharap, United tidak terburu-buru mengambil keputusan.

"Berbatov selalu memiliki gaya permainan yang santai, bahkan ketika dia masih membela Tottenham. Itu sebabnya fans mengaguminya. Tapi, kini dia justru dikritik karena hal itu," bela pria 70 tahun seperti disitat Manchester Evening News, Kamis (13/5/2010).

"Dia menikmati dua tahun yang sangat sukses bersama Spurs. Semua orang membicarakan mahalnya nilai transfer Berbatov. Saya ingat seorang pelatih berkata, tidak peduli berapa banyak uang yang Anda keluarkan untuk seorang pemain, jika performanya lebih baik daripada ketika mendapatkannya, maka Anda melakukan hal yang benar," paparnya.

"Saya tidak ingin mencoretnya (dari United). Dia belum menampilkan performa seperti ketika bersama Spurs, tapi ketika berada di lapangan, dia merupakan pemain yang sangat bagus," tutup Law yang menorehkan 171 gol selama 11 tahun membela United (1962-1973).

Dimitar Berbatov: I can't grin like an idiot on the pitch, but I'm happy to stay at Manchester United

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/13/article-0-0981A6D0000005DC-871_233x423.jpg

Dimitar Berbatov will resist any move to sell him despite two modest seasons at Manchester United.

Berbatov has won a Barclays Premier League title, a Carling Cup and played in a Champions League final since moving from Tottenham for £30million two summers ago.

But the Bulgarian striker, who announced his retirement from international football yesterday, has rarely shown the form that persuaded Sir Alex Ferguson to sign him and he scored just 12 league goals in the last campaign.

Berbatov, 29, admitted he has not always been at his best but has no plans to turn his back on the club.

He said: ‘I’m sure United will buy a new striker, but I’m still there and that’s important. I will try to fulfil my (four-year) contract. Where would I go after United? I’ve reached the top with them.

‘Things could have been better, but they could have been worse too. I have had my moments. People expected me to do things out of this world. It’s hard to live up to that.’

And he scoffed at suggestions that his body language betrays a deep-seated unhappiness at United.

He said: ‘I can’t grin like an idiot on the field. I do not show emotions, but I’m really happy because I am with the biggest team in the world.’

'I do not show any emotions, but I'm really happy because I am with the biggest team in the world.

'I didn’t discuss my decision to retire from the national team with Sir Alex, but you know when to say "enough".

'I have had various ailments for several months now. They affect you. I feel tired.

'I took this decision on my own and I started thinking about my future with the national team more than a month ago. I think that this is the right thing to do.'

Andy Cole: Berbatov Harus Dipertahankan

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2010/05/18/1604418p.jpg

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Legenda Manchester United (MU), Andy Cole, menilai, mantan klubnya itu harus mempertahankan penyerang Dimitar Berbatov. Menurutnya, Berbatov adalah pemain hebat, tetapi masih perlu waktu membuktikan kualitas terbaiknya.

Berbatov sudah dua musim di Old Trafford. Namun, meski tak bisa disebut buruk, kontribusinya juga tak bisa dikatakan memuaskan. Dari 43 penampilannya di semua ajang yang diikuti MU musim ini, ia cuma mencetak 12 gol.

Sejumlah kalangan menilai Berbatov adalah salah satu pemain yang membuat MU gagal menjuarai Premier League dan Liga Champions musim 2009-2010. Tak sedikit pula pendukung yang menyarankan MU untuk menjual Berbatov dan membeli pemain baru musim depan, apalagi setelah Wayne Rooney juga meminta klub membeli penyerang baru.

Namun, tanpa bermaksud mengintervensi kebijakan klub, Andy Cole menilai MU harus mempertahankan Berbatov. Menurutnya, seseorang tak bisa disebut buruk hanya karena penampilannya selama satu atau dua musim.

"Berbatov harus dipertahankan. Ia pekerja keras dan pantas diberi kesempatan," kata Cole di sela-sela acara peluncuran kartu perdana "Three" edisi MU, di Jakarta, Selasa (18/5/2010).

Cole tidak asal bicara. Meski dikenal sebagai salah satu penyerang tertajam di kancah sepak bola Inggris, ia tak mencapainya dengan mudah. Sepanjang karier profesionalnya 1988-2008, ia membela 12 klub bermain di berbagai divisi.

Ketika membela MU pada periode 1995-2001, kariernya pun tak langsung meroket. Ia sempat jatuh bangun, tetapi terus menjalaninya sampai ia membuktikan ketajamannya dan menjadi salah satu legenda MU. Selama lima musim di MU, ia mencetak 121 gol dari 275 penampilan.

"Terus bekerja keras adalah kunci (mengatasi kesulitan). Saya mendapatkan kesempatan itu di Manchester United dan Manchester United adalah klub terbaik yang pernah saya bela," tambah Cole. (*)

Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov frustrated by rumours of Old Trafford exit
Dimitar Berbatov has expressed his frustrations with the media's persistent speculation that he will leave Manchester United this summer after a disappointing campaign.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01638/berbatov_1638770c.jpg

The Bulgarian striker, who recently announced his international retirement, moved from Tottenham to Manchester United in 2008 for a fee of £30 million but has since failed to live up to the expectations many pundits and fans had.

Having scored just 12 goals last season and crumbled under the pressure of filling the void left when Wayne Rooney was sidelined with injury, many have suggested that Berbatov has played in a United shirt for the last time.

Adamant to prove himself worthy of a place in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans however, the 29-year-old told the Daily Star: "I wonder why the media don't wish me luck for my next year with United but ask me where I am going.

"I want to ask why every second question I get is about where I am going next year.

"My goal is to remain with United - the best team in the world and to see out my contract with the club. I know I have the qualities to do so. By joining United I have achieved everything I wanted."

Meanwhile, United have agreed on a sponsorship accord with Vina Concha y Toro SA, making Chile’s largest winery the latest company to become an official partner of the 18-time English soccer champion.

It’s the fourth deal signed by United since March. The club has generated more than 200 million pounds ($289 million) in commercial revenue from 20 agreements since establishing its London-based sales office in 2007, according to a spokesman for the club’s owners.

Concha y Toro will share billboard space with sponsors such as Anheuser-Busch InBev NV’s Budweiser brand and South Korea’s Kumho Tire Co. at United’s Old Trafford stadium. Financial terms, and the length of the contract, weren’t revealed.

Ferguson : Berbatov going nowhere
-menmedia.co.uk-

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/355.$plit/C_71_article_1240730_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?21%2F05%2F2010%2008%3A00%3A46%3A236

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Manchester United have no intention of selling Dimitar Berbatov this summer.

The Bulgarian striker has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford following his £30.75million move from Tottenham in August 2008, scoring just 26 goals in two seasons.

But Ferguson has no plans to offload the "fantastic" 29-year-old.

"No, no, definitely not," he said.

"That's a problem with a club like United - there's expectation and the media attention is always there.

"There's speculation every year - some summers I'm signing 100 players. You've got to live with that sort of media hype about the club. There's been a bit about Berbatov in terms of his future but we know he's a good player.

"He's a fantastic footballer and he'll be with us next year."

Berbatov will, therefore, be part of the Reds' squad which tours Canada and the United States in July.

United's eight World Cup stars will be given a break after their exploits in South Africa. They will not travel to North America and Ferguson has indicated they could miss the start of the new Barclays Premier League season.

Speaking to Toronto radio station FAN 590, he said: "The players who will be going on the tour, the big names, the established names from Manchester United over the last 20 years - (Paul) Scholes, (Gary) Neville, (Ryan) Giggs - will all be there, (Edwin) Van der Sar, Berbatov, (Darren) Fletcher, (John) O'Shea... all these players. We're bringing a very strong squad.

"My intention anyway is to start the season with the squad I'm bringing on tour because the World Cup can be a draining experience for players - it's the biggest tournament of their lives. They need rest.

"We'll give all the players a 28-day rest after their last game so we intend to start the season without them."

sbener ya gw kesel bgt liat performa nya, dr awal dia mao d beli gw udah blg "ngapain seh beli ini orang? wot something special with him??" and keraguan gw terjawab dgn liat performa nya selama ini

well,, I respect wot SAF do, wot SAF did.. he's a Great Manager..
mirip2 kek Andy Cole, awal2 dia jg ga begitu bagus.tapi pas d temukannya "pasangan" sejati nya Dwight Yorke, mrk jadi tandem yg kuat..
ptanyaan nya skg adalah mungkin kah harus beli striker berkelas agar bs d tandem kan dgn Berba, tetapi bagaimana dgn nasib Rooney kl hal itu dilakukan?? krn Rooney-Berba "ga bs nyambung" istilah bahasa premannya :D
apakah dia hrus dibangku cadangkan spti tevez kl SAF dpt tandem yg pas bwt berba nantinya??
krn spti yg kita tw rooney adlh "nafas" utk United saat ini... dan mereka (roo-berba) krg bisa d satukan di bagian depan kl menurut gw..

Manchester United Ready to Cash In On £18m Flop: Sir Alex Set to Accept Offers as Berbatov Lines Up Italian Move
Caughtoffside

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is rumoured to be ready to cut his losses and sell Dimitar Berbatov this summer and it appears that a move to Italy is the most likely to suit all parties. After two decidedly average seasons at Old Trafford the former Tottenham man will reportedly be shown to the exit as the club tries to retrieve as much of their £30.75m investment as possible.

Reports coming from Italy suggest that Juventus and AC Milan are both keen on the 29 year old Bulgarian but may only offer around £18m for the forward who has netted 26 goals in 86 appearances. Issues may become clearer with the two Serie A clubs once managerial changes are bedded in with the Turin outfit having only recently appointed Luigi Delneri and AC still without a replacement for the outgoing Leonardo.

Ferguson is apparently ready to listen to offers as he prepares to tighten his transfer belt. With the club saddled with heavy debt the Scot knows that he may need to sell some of his failing squad members to help fund new additions.

A number of Bundesliga sides are also apparently keen on bringing Berbatov back to the league he made his name in.

[Andi Istiabudi]

Poor Berbatov ...
Selama ini Sir Alex Ferguson selalu mengatakan Berbatov bakal terus di Old Trafford tapi di sisi lain banyak fans mengharapkan dia dijual karena kinerjanya yang tidak memuaskan..

Tapi kalau dipikir memang Berbatov terkadang bikin gregetan..
Musim lalu begitu banyak peluang bagus di depan gawang lawan selalu gagal dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh Bebatov. Wajar saja sebagai penonton, kadang saya gregetan bahkan musim lalu saya sempat berharap Berbatov cidera sehingga Michael Owen menggantikannya sepanjang musim, hehehe...

Meski begitu, saya tetap akan menghormati Dimitar Berbatov sebagai bagian dari keluarga besar Manchester United. Sayang, prnampilannya masih inkonsisten ...

[fredrian.seven]

Ya ditunggu aja resminya. Tidak ada yang tau apa yang direncanakan fergie. Tiap orang dah punya pendapatnya sendiri. Jadi ya ditunggu aja..
http://img.kaskus.us/images/kaskusmobile_hp.gif

[adi_Giggsy]

kalau sebagai penonton siapa yang ga gregetan dengan penampilan berba, tapi pelatih mungkin melihat dan punya pandangan yang lain dengan pemain tipe berba sehingga fergie tidak begitu berniat menjualnya, lihat saja apa yang akan diperbuat fergie untuk berba musim depan apakah akan terus sebagai starter atau hanya sebagai pemain pengganti saja, apalagi dengan kedatangan chicarito

[Andi Istiabudi]

Sekarang era teknologi informasi sih, jadi pemberitaan seputar Manchester United dapat kita peroleh dari berbagai sumber, baik media cetak maupun elektronik dan dari dalam maupun luar negeri sehingga tidak perlu heran jika banyak berita dan rumor yang beredar, termasuk tentang Berbatov...

Mungkin ada baiknya kita bersabar dan menunggu saat Sir Alex Ferguson mengumumkan rencana masa depan tim Manchester United usai event Piala Dunia Afsel 2010, bukankah orang sabar disayang Tuhan ? Hehe ...

Duo Serie A Pantau Berbatov
http://i.okezone.com/content/2010/06/07/45/340096/xI2CyArUPM.jpg
Achmad Firdaus - Okezone
MANCHESTER - Dimitar Berbatov tampaknya tak perlu memikirkan klub yang akan dibelanya bila pada bursa transfer musim panas ini dilepas klubnya, Manchester United. Striker asal Bulgaria ini kabarnya tengah menjadi incaran serius dua tim papan atas Serie A. Tim manakah itu?

Adalah Juventus dan AC Milan yang kabarnya siap menampung Berbatov, demikian sebagaimana dikutip Eurosport, Senin (7/6/2010). Namun, Juve dan Milan bukan satu-satunya klub yang menginginkan servis Berba. Dua klub elit Bundesliga, Bayern Munich dan Schalke 04 juga menyatakan tertarik meminang striker yang baru memutuskan pensiun dari timnas Bulgaria ini.

Masa depan Berbatov di Unied musim depan memang masih menjadi tanda tanya besar, terutama setelah dirinya dianggap tak mampu menampilkan performa terbaiknya selama memperkuat The Red Devils. Dua musim di Old Trafford, striker 29 tahun ini hanya mampu mencetak 21 gol dari 64 laga yang dijalaninya.

Selain minimnya produktivitas gol, faktor kebijakan klub yang ingin menciutkan pengeluaran pun menjadi faktor yang akan membuat Berba angkat kaki dari Theatre of dream. Seperti diketahui, sejak dipimpin pengusaha asal Amerika Serikat, Malcolm Glazer, United memang terus dilanda permasalahan finansial.

Namun, untuk mendapatkan jasa Berbatov, baik Juve, Milan atau pun klub peminat lainnya dipastikan harus merogoh kocek cukup dalam. Pasalnya, kubu United telah mematok harga jual striker yang diboyongnya dari Tottenham Hotspur 2008 silam tersebut sebesar 22 juta poundsterling.

[Wengge Schmeichel]

Kok ini orang kagak dijual jual yah? Garage Sale aja deh ~:>

Berbatov's big chance to impress

http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/150.$plit/C_71_article_1301788_image_list_image_list_item_0_ image.jpg?15%2F07%2F2010%2008%3A17%3A24%3A681

Dimitar Berbatov has the firepower to make up the shortfall in Manchester United’s goals column and win back the title from last season’s sharpshooters Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side won the title by a point but swept the Reds aside with their goal haul.

Chelsea smashed through the 100 league goal barrier leaving deposed champions United trailing in their wake with 86.

Nothing more could be asked of 34-goal Wayne Rooney but the finger was pointed at Sir Alex Ferguson’s second striker Bulgarian Berbatov who came in with a personal return of 12 goals.

To rub salt in the wounds the £30m forward only just edged ahead of ‘own goals’ by one strike in United’s end of term stats.

But Treble winning goal hero Andy Cole believes Berbatov can dump his critics off his back this season and beef up United’s goal threat in all competitions.

“I think Dimitar is due a Tottenham-style 20 goals in a season,” Cole told M.E.N. Sport. “People question whether he has that kind of return in him but he did it twice for Spurs. He hit 27 in his last season at White Hart Lane and 25 the campaign before.

“He has proved he can come in with a very decent haul. He was not a one-season wonder at Tottenham because he did it more than once. He also had good figures at Bayer Leverkusen.

“I am convinced he can grab similar totals for United if he plays enough games.

“Critics go on about him only scoring 12 goals last year but he only started 29 matches so that wasn’t a bad ratio at all.

“Berbatov has got quality and we all know that. He just needs games and goals. I think the goals are certain to come from him. He is due a big season and you’d have to say after two seasons already at Old Trafford then he has to do it now. This is a big year for him. But I believe in him.”

Sir Alex Ferguson has yet to splash big on an experienced proven goalscorer having signed up just 21-year-old Mexican striker Javier Hernandez in April.

But Cole doesn’t believe there is a hitman available worth dipping into the coffers for.

“If the manager did have £40-50m to spend who would you spend it on? There isn’t a stand-out striker you’d pay the kind of money for,” added Cole. “There are no number nines out there. If there was everybody would be after him. There isn’t anybody around who gets the tap-ins.”

Though Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema remains a potential Fergie target with the start of the season opener against Newcastle at Old Trafford 33 days away it looks likely United could be starting with the same goalscoring department.

Cole is putting his faith in the quartet of new boy Hernandez, Michael Owen, Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck (unless he departs on loan) to provide ample back-up to Rooney and Berbatov.

“Hernandez looked sharp at the World Cup for Mexico. He has a good eye for goal,” said Cole.

“The two young lads Macheda and Welbeck didn’t get much time last year and so they will be hungry this season.

“And as for Michael Owen, if he stays fit then he can come in with a fair few goals. He scored nine last season yet only started 11 matches. Even used sparingly if Michael is 100 per cent then you would expect him to score around 10-15 in a campaign. If by some chance he plays most matches then he is still a 20-goals a season player.

“I take my hat off to Chelsea for the number of goals they scored last season. It was fantastic but it is not often anyone outscores Manchester United and I think we can score enough this season to win back the title.”

Fletcher: Berbatov Masih Penting untuk MU

http://www.kompas.com/data/photo/2009/02/03/063354p.jpg

CHICAGO, KOMPAS.com - Gelandang Manchester United (MU), Darren Fletcher, berharap Dimitar Berbatov tak meninggalkan Old Trafford. Menurutnya, Berbatov merupakan pemain bagus yang dapat memberikan kontribusi maksimal untuk MU musim depan.

Posisi Berbatov mulai terancam setelah kedatangan striker muda asal Meksiko, Javier Hernandez. Hernandez mampu mencuri perhatian dunia dengan penampilan gemilangnya di Piala Dunia 2010. Ia sukses mencetak dua gol dan mengantar Meksiko ke babak 16 besar.

Adapun berbatov tampil buruk dalam dua musim terakhir. Pemain asal Bulgaria itu hanya mampu mencetak 26 gol dari 86 pertandingan bersama "Setan Merah". Ia kerap dikritik karena malas bergerak di lapangan.

"Dimitar adalah pemain yang bagus dan dia memiliki kemampuan fantastis. Aku tak bisa melihatnya hengkang karena dia adalah bagian penting dari tim ini. Dia adalah pria yang baik dan aku memiliki hubungan baik dengannya. Dia pemain bagus untuk tim ini," kata Fletcher.

"Dia punya banyak pengalaman. Untuk semua pemain muda dan striker muda, aku yakin mereka bisa belajar dari Dimitar," lanjut pemain asal Skotlandia tersebut.

Sebelumnya ada kabar bahwa Pelatih Sir Alex Ferguson ingin menjual Berbatov untuk mendapatkan striker baru lainnya, yakni Mario Balotelli dari Inter Milan atau Karim Benzema dari Real Madrid.

Berbatov Dapat Pujian dari Fergie

Toronto - Dimitar Berbatov masih mendapatkan kepercayaan dari Sir Alex Ferguson. Manajer Manchester United menyebut Berbatov masih memiliki kemampuan berkelas.

Di akhir musim lalu spekulasi sempat berkembang bahwa Berbatov akan segera di lepas. Striker Bulgaria ini sempat dianggap pembelian yang gagal saat diboyong dari Tottenham Hotspur dengan harga mahal yaitu 30,75 juta poundsterling.

Sejak pertama tiba di Old Trafford pada 2008 lalu, dia tak pernah benar-benar jadi andalan MU di lini depan. Namun memasuki awal musim baru ini Berbatov tampaknya masih memiliki harapan dipertahankan oleh Ferguson.

Ia masih tetap dibawa oleh Fergie dalam tur MU ke Amerika Serikat. Bahkan Berba mendapatkan pujian dari bos MU itu saat menjadi bintang kemenangan skuadnya 3-1 atas Celtic dalam laga di Rogers Center, Sabtu (17/7/2010) pagi WIB.

Berbatov menjadi man of the match dalam laga pra musim MU tersebut. Ia membuka gol kemenangan MU dalam juga membuat peluang buat gol berikutnya yang dicetak oleh Danny Welbeck dan Tom Cleverley.

"Berbatov menjadi man of the match dan saya pikir dia pantas mendapatkannya, tak perlu dipertanyakan lagi. Performanya sangat luar biasa," puji Ferguson seperti dilansir Espn.

"Di babak kedua dia memenghasilkan saat fantastis. Ini perlu digarisbawahi salah salah satu faktor penting bahwa dia masih memiliki kelas. Anda tak bisa mengambil itu darinya, tak masalah dengan kritikan," tukasnya.

aslinya Berba emang smart opa, mungkin karena tekanan, baik dari luar dan dari dalam dirinya sendiri, penampilannya di lapangan malah kurang "smart"...
berharap yg terbaik lah bwt United. semoga Berba tampil "smart" musim ini. kalopun tetap seperti musim2 sebelumnya, dilepas mungkin jalan terbaik, bagi United dan Berba sendiri...
