The authoritative British newspaper ‘Times’ compared the Bulgarian national football player Dimitar Berbatov to the great illusionist Houdini because of the way the forward of ‘Manchester United’ managed to get out of the custody of the backs of ‘Blackburn’ at the yesterday’s match for the championship which ended with a 2:0 result for ‘Manchester’.

Berbatov was unstoppable. The Bulgarian forward gave the class and Wes Brown and Wane Rooney sealed the victory’, says the newspaper.

According to ‘Times’, Sir Alex Ferguson told the ‘red’ to pass the ball to the Bulgarian with no concerns that he is strictly guarded.

‘In spite of the fact that he was closely watched by Chris Samba and Ryan Nelson, Berbatov showed himself as Houdini’, writes ‘Times’.
