Technique extraordinaire – Dimitar Berbatov

When you speak of Berbatov, the first thing that comes to mind is his finesse. The Bulgarian was blessed with immense ability and technique which came to the fore during his time at Tottenham Hotspur and then Manchester United.

Before his prominent spell in England, he earned the adulation of the Bayer Leverkusen fans with his quality.

Leverkusen were a decent team more than a decade ago had a tough Champions League group in the 2004/05 season which comprised of AS Roma and Real Madrid. After putting Roma to the sword, at home, the Germans managed a credible draw away from home and it was Berbatov who shone for them.

The Bulgarian might not have been a player who chased down opponents, but boy he had a touch in him. Take for example the goal he scored against AS Roma where he deceived the defender and chipped an on-rushing goalkeeper.
