Dimitar Berbatov showers praises on Gareth Bale
Manchester United striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254, showered praises on former Tottenham Hotspur teammate, Gareth Bale, claiming that the Welshman is one of the best players in the world today.
Dimitar Berbatov arrived at Manchester United back in summer of 2008. The striker was signed from Tottenham Hotspur for a whopping 30.75 million pounds.
Despite the profound price tag, the Bulgarian struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford. However, it seems that he is finally getting the hang of being a Red Devil.
Berbatov has really found his form this season, establishing himself as one of the most fearsome strikers in England. The Bulgarian is one of the main reasons that United are currently at the top of the Premier League table.
One team that would love to knock the Red Devils off their lofty perch is Berbatov’s former club, Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs are a side that has seen a remarkable turnaround in recent seasons. A club that is so used to fighting against relegation has transformed itself into one of the biggest clubs in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 today. They are currently fifth in the league standings and more
impressively, they are currently competing in the Round-of-16 stages of the Champions League.
However, Berbatov is not surprised by his former club’s new-found success. The Bulgarian hailed the quality of Tottenham’s squad, believing it to be the key to their rise.
Berbatov singled out http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 in particular, claiming that the winger is currently one of the best players in the world.
The Manchester United striker said, “Their position doesn't surprise me. When I was there I was aware of the young talent that is now their major asset - players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Lennon-c3062 and Gareth Bale have matured and become great players. When I was there Bale
was a talented teenager, now he's one of the best players in the world. I saw he had potential. He trained hard and was pushing to be involved”.
He added, "I'm glad they kept faith in him - other teams were interested in buying him - now they're reaping the rewards".
