The Fulham boss claimed that the striker put in a great shift against Wigan Athletic after setting up the opener for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Rodallega on his return to the DW Stadium.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 is proving to be one of the better buys of the summer, after starting his Craven Cottage career on a high. The forward was abandoned by Manchester United in the transfer window but Martin Jol took a gamble on him and is now clearly reaping
the benefits.
The Bulgarian’s quality has never been in question, even at Old Trafford and with regular game time, his talents are clearly shining through.
After netting twice in his second outings for the club, the former Bayer Leverkusen man has been in red hot form and setup http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Rodallega-c16414’s goal in the 31st minute yesterday. According to many, he was the Cottagers’ top performer on the night
and was on the end receiving of some special praise from his manager.
Jol has been impressed by the bargain buy he made last month and has been able to transform him back to a predatory machine, who can net goals for fun.
And the tactician was particularly pleased with how quickly he had adapted to life at the helm and struck up a brilliant partnership with Colombian International Rodallega.
“I always thought that he was a fantastic player, the only thing I see now is that he can play in different positions as well. If you go and play away at Wigan you take a gamble to play with two strikers because most of the time last year we changed our
playing style with a 4-3-3,” he said.
“I made a gamble to play with Rodallega upfront and Dimitar, and he was probably the best No.10 you can imagine,” the manager was quoted as saying.
Fulham have managed to turn around their fortunes in the last few months, with Jol strengthening their case for a spot in the lucrative UEFA Europa League. And given how easily they are bagging points, it could just be a case of time before the night-time
action returns to London once more.
