Ireland midfielder Darron Gibson hopes to give manager
Giovanni Trapattoni the inside scoop on fellow Manchester United
star Dimitar Berbatov, ahead of the World Cup Qualifier against
Bulgaria on March 28th.
Gibson and fellow Ireland star John O’Shea come up against their
clubmate in the qualifier knowing that three points from the game
will go some way to cementing their hopes of a play-off place in
Group Eight.
“I am sure John O’Shea and I will give the manager tips on how
to handle Berbatov,” he said.
“John will probably be playing centre-half against Bulgaria, so
he will have a really good idea of what he is up against.
“He [Berbatov] is a world-class player, everyone knows what
he can do and I have seen first-hand just what he is capable of. It
is going to be great coming up against him. It is always good to
come up against your team-mates, and hopefully we can win.”
