The media have suggested the manager and player had a rocky relationship, with an incident at St James' Park suggesting Jol had lost control of the striker.</p> <p>"At St James' Park (when Berbatov appeared reluctant to come on as a substitute), a lot had been made in the media about Berbatov's attitude, that he didn't want to come on because he was sulking at being on the bench," explained Jol. </p> <p>"Normally Chris Hughton would tell the players to warm up, but not this time. However, he didn't seem that keen to do it. </p> <p>"I turned my shoulder again and this time looked him in the eye and told him 'come on, warm up' and he began to warm up. </p> <p>"He never said he didn't want to come on, but that's how it has been perceived. But that's Berbatov, he always seems reluctant to do anything. </p> <p>"Gifted, yes. But he is not a fighter. Perhaps you need others who are fighters to balance out the team." </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.footballexpo.com/berbatov-no-fighter#comment Commentary dimitar berbatov manchester united martin jol premiership striker tottenham hotspur Tue, 06 Nov 2007 03:51:13 -0600 Scott the Red 682 at http://www.footballexpo.com
