Cristiano Ronaldo is excited about playing alongside
Dimitar Berbatov this season after watching the Bulgarian bag two
goals for the Reds against Aalborg on Tuesday.
Berbatov struck twice in the second half against the Danes, much to
the delight of his boss Sir Alex Ferguson and his team-mates,
too.
“It's good for Berba to score his first goals for United, and he
played well,” says Ronaldo. “It's always good for forwards to
score, it keeps your confidence high. Everyone knows he's a good
player. His style is different to Carlos [Tevez] and Wayne [Rooney]
but after two or three games we're getting better together. He's a
fantastic player and he's going to help the team a lot.”
Berbatov’s first Reds goals and the improving form of Ronaldo and
Rooney, who was impressive despite being substituted with an ankle
injury after an hour, certainly bode well for the coming weeks.
“The most important thing was to win,” added Ronny. “It’s our first
Champions League win this season and we hope to reach the next
round in first place – that’s our priority.
"We played some good football and 3-0 is a great result. The team
has started to play better and better in the last two or three
games.”
Ronaldo, who is still gaining match sharpness following his
pre-season ankle surgery, insists he feels completely settled at
United despite a summer of speculation linking him with a move away
from OT. “I feel very comfortable,” he says. “I feel very good at
the club, very happy and I want to carry on like that.”
