#3 Dimitar Berbatov thrives in free role
Ad
It's safe to say, Kerala's fans expected a lot more from Dimitar Berbatov in his first two matches. The Bulgarian was virtually invisible in their opening two games. However tonight, the former Manchester United man showed why he is still world class.

Against Mumbai, he operated more as a deep-lying playmaker and thoroughly thrived in this position. He let Vineeth and Jackichand venture forward and played a huge role in Kerala's first goal. It was interesting to watch Berbatov in his new role.
He looked much more at ease pulling the strings from the middle of the park. The Bulgarian displayed vision, calmness and sharpness tonight.
