On January 7, Berbatov shared his experience of chasing stars on social platforms. Who is chasing? "Alien" Ronaldo. This is the story of a full 7 years ago, and Berbatov told it vividly. The following is a compilation of the original text of "Dashing Brother":
Guys, let me share an interesting story. On this day in 2014, I was preparing for a transfer at Munich Airport. In the departure hall, I thought about my things, listened to my rock ...
Then I saw it on the road – yay, aliens, Ronaldo! Ronaldo was walking through the airport as if no one had noticed him. I thought: These people are crazy, haven't they noticed one of the greatest people in the history of football?

So I started thinking, do I want to do something, like say "hello" to him, or ask for a photo or something? However, I am quite shy... Finally, I plucked up the courage to go up to Ronaldo and say "hi" to him and ask for a group photo.
Ronaldo was so kind that he didn't mind taking a picture with me. But I think he shouldn't know me... Well, that's my experience.
Everyone has idols, and the alien Ronaldo is one of my heroes.
The story told by Berbatov has aroused heated discussion among fans. More than 88,000 likes, which set a single-like record for Berbatov. Many fans joked: Hello hello is also Berbatov, not an amateur league player! There are also fans who think: Ronaldo must know you, you are a legend of Old Trafford.
This small story is also the embodiment of Ronaldo's status. Berbatov is the premier league's top player, setting a record for the highest transfer fee in The history of Manchester United in 2008 (£30.75 million), winning the Premier League Golden Boot, with a unique style, scoring 94 goals in 229 games in the Premier League, with a single five-goal and hat-wearing against Liverpool.
However, in front of Ronaldo, Berbatov felt "humble", and even did not dare to go up to say hello, to take a group photo, or plucked up the courage to take a group photo. The charm and status of the alien Ronaldo can be seen.
