	OneFootball about Mitko Berbatov
		Berbatov, who is regarded in his homeland as the most exciting prospect since Hristo Stoichkov, was recently described by Toppmoller as "one of the most talented 21-year-olds in the world".
		The former Saarbrucken boss was initially concerned that Berbatov did not have the mental or physical strength to establish himself in the Bundesliga.
		Berbatov's miscued header in the first half at Old Trafford last week could yet prove costly for Leverkusen, but he believes that taking criticism for missing chances is part of a striker's make up.
