The coolest and calmest man I’ve ever interviewed! And what a player he was too! 👏
Adam Smith There was ice in his eyes, but fire in his heart.. every time he stepped on the pitch for us
Berba ❤
welcome to san andreas im cj from grove street
You haven't interviewed Van Der Sar? 😂
When Berba signed for United he was struggling at first games and Sir Alex was asked about his performance's. Sir Alex said: "It's not easy to play with someone who's always a step ahead of the team"...so true.
Epic quote
‘It was a mistake to buy him, as I soon realized the rest of my players were schoolboys in expensive soccer boots
@@lewisvann1 It's football, not soccer. Playing with an egg-shaped object which you mainly hold in your hands and call this game "football" just doesn't make any sense.
Ivo Yaglichev - - Whatevs - I grew up in England and played and watched a total of hundreds of game of football- call it what you want - who’s cares
@@ivoyaglichev3851 the USA named that as football because after achieving a touchdown, the next step is the kicking in the ball aiming that strange inverted goal bar. but the name "soccer" is obviously totally nonsense
I'M A CHELSEA FAN BUT I NEED TO SAY BERBATOV WAS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYERS EVER IMO
I second that
Second
The first one would be le tissier
He was exceptional .
who else thinks berbatov deserves an icon card?
Virgin stop playing games and appreciate actual quality.
Theon henry-guthrie me
I know
Suraj's Opinion is Better ur boring
Suraj's Opinion is Better 👍
The best "lazy" player as the said. Absolutely incredible player. The combination of his skills, shooting, and pace back in the day made the defenders look like amateurs. You don't see attackers like him nowadays...
he never had pace but apart from that yes
Diego costa is similar
LMFAO Costa is nowhere near Berbatov's level or even similar.
Allan Appiah polar opposites 😂😂😂
lmfao, thats the worst comparison i've ever heard. If anything he's a bit like Ozil, apart from he's great at finishing lol
Has better English than Harry Kane
A M that’s really funny, I’ve never heard that before 😐
A M “has better English” oh the irony
A M - LMAO! this made my day
I have the best English.
Better looking too
I can't believe that as an Arsenal fan, a former United and Spurs player, would be one of my favorite footballers.
beji97 But Nice are in your profile picture ? Plastic ?
Haha What's upp no. Balotelli is in my profile pic actually.
beji97 Yes , who plays for Nice?
Haha What's upp Yes. He also plays for the Italian National Team and played for AC Milan, Man City, Inter Milan, Liverpool. Your point? Can't you like a player from another team?
beji97 Well I know I don't like any players from enemy teams..
Very nice interview and I like how detailed he gives reasons for his choices. :)
Would be a crazy good team. :D
GreenPoem i
Yes he was great
The best 5 a side team ever
Absolute legend Berba
Greg Harrison
Lol yeah for Spurs maybe but not ManUtd.
CD DB he is a great at united .
Imagine Berba become a Manager. Could be very tactical.
He wont allow any of his players to run. No running allowed
No pressing at all then. 😜😂😂
Again underrated comment
Thats gonna take him too much effort!
Actually he is on his way for it! At the moment he is training at Etar Veliko Tarnovo to get his certificate.
Scholes is literally in every players 5 a side he realy was the best
This is the best dream team interview I've seen so far.It's more about the chemistry between the players rather than just putting legendary players in the team who probably are not compatible with each other.
Absolutely love Dimitar!He is like a kid when he picked up his team..Joking around..Discussing why he respected it each player so much!! Absolutely love him!!!
Dimitar Berbatov had the greatest touch,control in the game too this day haven't seen any one like him!
yes john
O'shea and Ronaldinho
Zidane
Henry
I agree. I have never seen a player be able to control the ball the way he can. Any angle, any speed or any height. He was just tremendous.
One of the most skillful players I've ever seen.
Berba unbelievable tekkerz n great guy
silky tekkerz
Berba could juggle a chainsaw wearing socks and not cut himself. He had the deft touch.
Gave me one of my best memories growing up watching united with his hatrick against Liverpool. Impossible not to respect him
Berbatov's interviews are always good to watch.
Miss having him at United.
:')
this was probably the best 5 a side video youve done :D
Cesc had a much more in depth one.
So amped he said Keano. Good to see one of the most exciting players ever get his due.
Legendary player, ridiculously good first touch
Blagodarya Dimitar (from Glasgow).
Best touch of any player ever imo, on a level with messi and ronaldinho in terms of touch but he had a swag to it which makes him number 1 for me.
Maradonas touch was 2nd to none.
I watched this player on tele loads and he always looked so relaxed. Got the chance to see him live and watched him, just him, for about five minutes. He was everywhere. Television coverage made him look like ghost. He was a defenders nightmare. Top player.
Vidic my favourite defender of all time. Wish he didn’t get as much injuries as he did near the end.
same !
19.10.2010. The day Dimitar Berbatov scored a hatrick for good against evil and became a star in the eyes of the world. God bless you Dimitar!!!
In an interview with Jermaine Defoe, it was said Defoe got assisted by Berbatov the most. Defoe thought it was Crouch but they told him it was Berba. Quality, unselfish player❤
Dimitar is a class act... The way he played is with utter class and calmness.. His goals were as dexterous as they can be.. He is one of my favourite football players
Dimitar Berbatov- the most underrated player ever... what a legend!
Only positive things about him🔥
If Berbatov isn't in FIFA 19, I'm not buying
Me to😥
But Stoichkov 90ovr 😀😀😀
9 people are clearly salty Liverpool fans who remember his world class hat-trick😆😉
Manchester United Fan HD I'm a Liverpool fan, Berbatov was a classy, classy player. Loved watching him play. Why even bring Liverpool up?
Fiach O'Connor I agree
Im a Liverpool fan..and berbatov is my fav player
That control,then the overhead kick..😱 💥 😀 👑 incredible! Dudek still wondering where the ball is....
I was there that day
Loved watching Berbatov at Utd. Always looked like he had velcro boots given how amazing a first touch he had. Detailed selections from a legend. Thanks Berba.
Dimittar!!! What a man! What a thoroughly thought through team! Amazing I love the way he talks too! Great man!!! Great legend!!!
Really enjoyed this interview... Berba is a great story teller; the interviewer facilitated that. 10/10
This man was one of the last strikers who could DOMINATE -and make no mistake ,he did- relying on his technique and brain. Keeping calm, and fit enough, to perform, to execute what his mind pictured. I have a feeling that we will see less of him, and more lukakus in the world.
Pedro Henrique Lukaku is extremely smart.
@1rst Lukaku knows 6 languages...
@1rst Thats a fukin idiotic comment. What youre basing your comment is on the fact that 3rd world african countries are known to have an IQ averaging 70. Lukaku was born and raised in Belgium which is much closer to 100. The main factor in that difference in IQ is the fact that africans have nowhere near the same access to education as europeans. Its time for you to stop looking at skin color to judge someone
Tony Oliveira black players always put physicality over technique so that is why he said that
@@tonyoliveira8605 Actually no, IQ is 90% genetic.
Berbatov is a smart and eloquent guy not surprised given his calm nature. I only saw a handful of his games but his skills shone in every one of them. Perhaps one of the most underrated players ever.
Very well said. He is so articulate, and has an Amazing Football Brain. Great choices.
Евалата берба голям си ей
He's an interesting fella. I like how he gets into details about the choices and how humorous he is xp
Great point with Giggs, he may not be watching but he sees you. One touch, he's found you. Assist for Alan Smith against Roma is a good example.
I only have one word to describe Berba when he is on the pitch-Elegance!And the second player (but not lesser) with the same trait is Pirlo!
BERBATOV WOULD BE AN AMAZING COACH, PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST. HE IS SO SMART!!
MUST have an icon card on FIFA 19. if it's less than 87 I'm switching to PES
U upset
He didnt retire
What a player Dimi was, languid and so skillful brilliant to watch, did some amazing things on the pitch
Love the way he speaks. Glad he’s started to come out of his shell
Between him and Zlatan The closest thing to Cantona United have had.
Apart from Cantona
What a Boss 😂
Love Berbatov so much!!
Class!!
This guy is the most underrated striker in the past 10/15 years.
This why the 08 side was so good.
If a tad selfish yet brilliant player like dimitar says 'Team first,Individual Second'...one could only imagine what the dressing room must been.
Shame they couldn't win the Champions League.
11Neo 11 they won the champions league though
Jonathan L 2007 squad won the champions league. It was practically the same squad with Berbatov.
Carpe Diem *2008
11Neo 11 they won in 2008
He’s brilliant. A genius on the pitch and a wiseman off it.
Wow. Best 5 a side team selection ! Appreciate how much thought he put into this!
Berba the man miss him we need players like THIS at Manchester United today
Best hair transplant in the game.. love berba!!
It should be between him and Conte.
Berbs was really relaxed. I loved him at Spurs.
I love the fact that when he has an opportunity to speak about the best players he's played with he always gushes over Keane.... brilliant strike partnership at the time
Miss Berbatov, loved to have him in manchester united, amazing striker
6:58 Scholsey can tackle, before they go to Vidia where he can finish them 😂
Loool
What an interesting and charismatic person, good on ya Berbo
"We all go forward and back together."
Man, you know Berbatov ain't trottin' back to defend. 😂
We Still love you berba .... always be remember at United 👊
Before I’ve watched but I’m guessing Scholes
Stooter 180 I thought he would say Giggs.
obviously
Stooter 180
Yeah I can't believe the title to be honest. Acting like it's some mystery when everyone already knows who he'd say.
Nah it was Phil Jones
Scholes was an absolute joy to watch
Fantastic interview 👊🏼
Great balance. Great team👍👍
Top striker Berbatov.
From an appreciative United Fan. GGMU
Berba's just great, such a throwback kind of player like a Bergkamp or Sherringham, they probably wouldn't get as far as he did now due to 'not running enough'. I'd rather watch a game where players like this can do something magical than a brutally efficient military defensive unit.
Quality player. His understanding of the game is unbelievable.
🤣🤣🤣no warm up just starts hitting people in the head from 60 yards, thank you Scholesy
There is nothing like Paul scholes
In the English premier leagues
Nor in the English National team
That guy was huge
Used to hate Man U
But every time he was on the field
You had to watch
Respect Paul scholes worldwide🙏
What a great guy...a team man
legend of legends! btw, what is the background music? Love it, too!
I didn't know andy garcia knew so much about football
😂👏 i was thinking a bit Mark Strong... But aye I've never made that link before.
Yes spot on.. never seen it but it's so obvious now
Great to see that!! That team would take some beating. Probably one of the few players I don't think Fergie quite figured out, but a truly unique style that I don't think can, or will ever be reproduced. What he went through with his family in Bulgaria, and still able to put on a shirt at the weekend afocussing on a game, in is of itself is a strength that one can only look up to with the upmost admiration. Legend thrpough and through!! loved seeing him chatting away!! Go yersel min
He's surprisingly very active in interview ;-)
Berba & Keane.... Such an amazing strike force.
My favourite all time player, Berba you legend!
Berbatov first touch was amazing! Not many in the world had his finishing ability and football iQ
I was lucky enough to have a kickaround with Berbatov, Petrov and Stoichkov back in my holiday repping days. Berbatov owned an apartment at the hotel I was looking after in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. He would spend all day on the beach surrounded by what looked like models (like a boss), and occasionally wander up to the 5-a-side pitch to have a kickaround. One day I went along to watch him, and Petrov and Stoichkov are also there, so I borrowed a pair of shorts and trainers from a guest and invaded the pitch lol.
Your surname is apt
Google 'Hotel Majestic Berbatov', he owns an apartment there and he visits every year, as does Petrov. The year I lived there, Stoichkov just happened to be staying there too.
I accept your apology in advance btw.
Love Berba, class act...on and off the pitch!
10 cigs a day, probably loved the beak, didnt make a difference. Berba was World Class in his prime and not a single player in our current squad would come close to him. Love the guy.
Technically I would say one of United's most gifted players some say he was lazy just because he didn't run with the ball but he was never a Henry style of player he played the game his way I'll forever remember him for that hattrick vs Liverpool.
Berba is properly intelligent. Enjoyed the interview.
He looks like a 2009 Russian hit man
Fantastic player, he had it all !!
Bulgaria's greatest export
Kel OJ stoichkov tho
Berbatov miles ahead. Won the Prem twice.
Suraj's Opinion is Better Stoichkov won the Balon d'or
Mart Mihov обясни им малко на децата, че тях ги е нямало по това време
+Suraj''s Opinion isn't Better
Premier League is a team achievement and beside that,Stoichkov played for Barcelona and won Ballon d'or fyi.
Glad I own a united shirt with his name on it, absolute legend💯
LEGEND 🙏🏻🙌🏻
He was amazing player he play like without pressure he like enjoy to play football.
still get so happy every time i hear Shimmy Shimmy Ya to start these interviews
I can tell the best partner for Berba was Ulf Kirsten. Both simply never made the defenders guess who was the target man and who was the poacher. They assisted a lot to each other and it was from the time when Berbatov was still relatively fast. Both furious strikers and always ready to combine between each other. Too bad Ulf retired aged like... 27 I believe.
What a great sport he is, class act!
for me he looks like a really smart person.Legend👌
You know what , I am going to make some things clear. I am Bulgarian, I am obsessed with football and watched Berbatov as an 18-year old in CSKA Sofia. He was my idol, I watched all his games in Leverkusen, all his games in Tottenham, all his games in United and then on. But he changed in the past few years. I m not sure if he changed or he was like that all that time, but he changed for sure and a lot of people in Bulgaria are thinking it. And I say that cause I see here people saying "Oh he is a great guy" and stuff like that. I thought that too, but when he comes to Bulgaria he shows a different face maybe. A lot of examples: he retired from national team after just scorin his record breaking goal for Bulgaria. It shows that he cares only about himself, he was not a team player back then. He formed a small group of pplayers, those that were playing abroad, and it was so breaking the atmosphere in the team I couldnt believe that my idol was such a "small guy" outside of the football pitch. When he was coming to the national side to play a game, he was always complaining when someone passed the ball not right on his feet, and those complaints were only to players who didnt play in popular foreign clubs. He just walked out of the pitch against Serbia in a friendly game cause he again didnt like something. Just like a primadona and his football agent called the comentators of the television broadcasting the game to say good thigs about him, because they (the comentators) were obviously angry at him too. In MOnaco he was crying like a little girl to players not passing him the ball right, Bernardo SIlva even gave an interview telling about such a story, in PAOK he was trying to be the coach instead of Igor Tudor, the real coach, and we all know Igor Tudor but no matter who the coach was, Dimitar showed his lack of respect . Same with sir Alex Ferguson, I doubt he said in a conversation one-to-one the things he said to the bulgarian journalists on a pressconference in Sofia. I agree with Berba, he should have played in that final against Barcelona back in 2011, but thats not the way a man expresses his concerns or whatever. You are not going to the journalists in Bulgaria and say:"Mommy, mommy sir Alex did that...", right? And last thing I am going to give as an example, his stay in India- the same things happened, he said goodbye to his teammates with an Instagram story saying how awful David James as a coach has been. Every club after Monaco he has played in had a problem with his behaviour, thats what I am trying to say. And I am disappointed from Berbatov right since his departure from Monaco cause he changed and thats all... Things are not as they seem to be. Maybe he has problems with himself but not a reason to act like that
Every pro knows scholes was the best
Wow! He's already a great manager!
Absolute legend, his ability to control a ball was incredible
I just love his playing style
Scholes was the player most critical to Fergie’s successes at Man Utd. It is no coincidence that:
- Fergie’s leanest period at Man Utd, from 1993 onwards, was 2003-06, when Scholes had injuries and issues with his vision.
- As soon as Scholes retired, Man Utd’a midfield became mediocre. Their defence remained the same in the first season post Fergie, but the midfield was nothing without Scholes.
- Every top player in his generation talks about him as one of the best central midfielders of all time.
It is also a pleasure to see Berba’s humility in this interview. What a gent!
Berba is one of the greatest!!!
You would think he moves slow but he beats you, he score, he passes are always perfect.
He is a Ronaldo Messi Zidane Ronaldihno Ronaldo type player. A different but special player
Dimitar is really funny guy! I respect you dude!
Love that Ol' Dirty Bastard
Manav Sandhu shimmy shimmy ya bitches
Glad i'm not alone. RIP ODB.
