The star of the Irish team Robbie Keane stated, that the captain of the Bulgartian team Dimitar Berbatov is a fantastic, world-class football player and will be the main menace for his teammates in tomorrow’s qualifications game between the two teams.

“I’ve played with Berbatov in Tottenham and we’re good friends. During the match however, we have to forget that friendship for 90 minutes. We both want to win this match and we’ll give our best. Berbatov is a fantastic, world-class football player and he’ll be one of the main menaces for our team. Facing him definitely won’t be easy. It’s always difficult to face such a good player.

He’s an excellent striker and I regret that he missed the match in Dublin. The strength of our team is in the collective, not the individual players. We’ve shown that we can win – no matter whom we face. We want to make our fans happy, and the only way to really achieve that is to win,” commented the captain of the Irish team.
