Thanks to Dimitar Berbatov's hat trick, Man Utd escaped from three consecutive draws in the English Premier League. Yesterday, Red Devils barely defeated Liverpool at 3:2 in Old Trafford. C was lucky enough to witness Berba's overhead kick in Man Utd's home turf.
After the victory, Berba accumulated six goals and is one of the two top scorers at the moment, leveling with Chelsea's Malouda. Everybody is now praising how good Berbatov is, what a tremendous skill the Bulgarian possesses. However, until the starting of this season, possibly the same group of people have been mumbling at Berbatov's laziness.
I have been a fan of Berbatov when he played for Tottenham. I admire his skill and creativity. Obviously, Berba is not the kind of laborious player. It is a shame for the fans to expect him to run like Rooney for the whole 90 minutes. Berbatov is no bulldozer. Though we Hong Kongers love to talk about rationality, very few of us reflect it via our behavior, and almost none of them is a football fan. If someone is an outstanding poet, how dare others would expect him be equally outstanding as a splinter, though by chance it is still possible, albeit rarely. Thus, we should never use the parameter of "hard-workingness" to judge Berbatov's performance.
Anyway, in football, for most of us, the simplest way to measure success is to count how many goals have been scored.
I shouted crazily for Berba!
