One thing United fans remember is that Sir Alex Ferguson didn't buy out Carlos Tevez but instead made a higher offer to take the top scorer at the time, Tottenham Hotspur striker: Berbatov. Berbatov had a famous nickname: Dash. As for how the nickname "Dashing" came about, the general idea is that Berbatov's hairstyle would not be messed up for the whole game.
I will tell you more about Berbatov:
Born in Bulgaria, Berbatov officially started his soccer career at CSKA Sofia. In the Central Army, Beba's talent has aroused the attention of a number of European giants, scoring action as elegant as possible, without dragging, especially in front of the door to the goal, that time for Beba won countless fans.
After winning the Bulgarian Cup, Beba chose to go to Germany to play soccer, as only the top five leagues in Europe could allow Beba to show his talent. This decision to join Leverkusen changed Beba's entire soccer career, and after a not-so-smooth transition period, Beba was successfully integrated into the team.
Before the final, it was Beba who beat Liverpool and Lyon with goal after goal to get Leverkusen into the final. The confidence and composure in front of the goal, high technology, flexible footwork, and the spatial awareness that can only be understood, made Beba completely conquered the Leverkusen fans. The goals were scored as if they were just a walk in the park, allowing the fans to realize what "elegant soccer" means.
In May 2006, English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur signed Berbatov for a transfer fee of £10.9 million, making him the most expensive Bulgarian footballer at the time.
On August 16, 2006, Beba made his Premier League debut in Tottenham Hotspur's 0-2 loss to Bolton. On August 19, 2006, Beba scored his first goal into the Premier League as Tottenham Hotspur faced promotion rivals Sheffield United at the White Hart Trail Stadium. However, in the summer of 2008 he was in the midst of a transfer news fiasco, with a lazy attitude, strikes and refusal to play.
Finally on September 1, 2008, the last minute before the transfer market closed, Manchester United announced the successful signing of Berbatov, and his 30.75 million pounds price also set a record for Manchester United, becoming the highest price of Manchester United to buy the player . After experiencing the Tottenham Hotspur's hammering, the more technically mature Beba, with the highest value transfer fee of Manchester United at that time, joined Manchester United, officially opened his own road to the luxury team.
It was either sink or swim. In United's 3-0 away win over Aalborg on September 30, 2008, Berbatov scored his first goal in joining United and also scored two goals at that time. It became Berba's first two goals in his United career, but this season Berba's performance did not meet Sir Alex Ferguson's expectations.
10/11 season, silent for more than a season of Berbatov, thick and thin, first in the game against Chelsea, Berbatov rare use of turning speed and their own acceleration to shake off the Chelsea defenders, the face of the attacking goalkeeper, "dashing brother" with a very dashing temperament of the pick shot, juggling Chelsea's Goalkeeper, and after the goal Berbatov more slightly wanton carnival, at this moment, the fans realize that the pressure on the back of the Berbatov how much.
And in the next league, facing Liverpool's game, Berbatov is a hat-trick, a person to complete the massacre of Liverpool's good show, and more of himself became the hero of Old Trafford, such a Berbatov, should get a contract extension. But Beba most criticized is the stadium game performance is not active, running too little, offensive end waiting to feed the ball, and almost will not participate in the active defense task, if the United midfield delivery of shells is not power, Beba in the front field is almost an idler-like existence, which makes the majority of United fans began to doubt at that time to buy into the Beba and give up the Tevez whether it is correct, in time and then dashing brother chipping invention ambition, in that season almost Get the Premier League Golden Boot, but the image of Beba "not active, not hard" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, the future of Manchester United No. 9 is worrying.
Later on, with the "super sub" of Little Pea Hernandez, and then Rooney's position up front, Beba's situation at Manchester United became particularly awkward. After losing the league title to Manchester City on goal difference, United needed to look for a strong striker, and then Beba had almost no place at Manchester United.
How many years have passed since then, the young Red Devils fans can no longer hear the names of Beba and Dash in their mouths. However, Beba was indeed a master of soccer, and his interpretation of soccer was so "elegant" that people felt that it was so simple to score goals. Maybe it was the current events that created the Beba of that era, or maybe it was the environment that eventually wore down this soccer genius.
