Date Posted: 2/5/2009

Few players are capable of creating and scoring goals with the calmness and elegance of Manchester United’s Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian striker has scored 11 goals with 9 assists since joining United making him the most creative player in the English Premier League this season. Berbatov states, “I watch games and see guys who panic on the ball. They look so nervous on the ball.” His incessant drive for technical perfection allows him to be calm under pressure and deliver moments of creative brilliance on the field. “If it’s near perfection, I suppose I’m happy.” States Berbatov. Sir Alex Ferguson, Berbatov’s Manchester United coach states, “What’s so good about him is his weighted pass. I don’t think we’ve had a player with that beautiful, weighted pass since Eric Cantona. Dimitar has shown some fantastic pieces of football he is one of the best and most exciting strikers in world football. He has the capacity to be Wayne Rooney and Eric Cantona all rolled up into one.”
