Chicharito-Hernandez.

com
Chicharito entered the field in with only four minutes left of play, just after the Birmingham City
scored the tying goal against Manchester United (1-1). Javier Hernandez had a discreet farewell
to 2010, the year in which the world football met a charismatic guy with nickname of child, but
the soul of a ruthless killer inside the penalty area.

Chicharito has fulfilled almost all his goals: He won the scoring title in Mexico, played in the
World Cup, scored two goals (against France and Argentina), and was hired by one of the
biggest clubs in the world, Manchester united. But one goal that eluded him this 2010 was to
become a permanent starter for Man U.

Dimitar Berbatov is the man who stops him from achieving this goal. The arrival of Chicharito to
the Red Devils has pushed the Bulgarian into bringing out the qualities Sir Alex Ferguson fell in
love with a little more than two years ago, when he came from Tottenham Hotspur.

With Berbatov’s goal against Birmingham, the Bulgarian hit 14 goals in the current Premier
League season, a figure that places him at the head of the leading goal scorer race. His mark in
British football is 15, in the 2007-2008 season with the Spurs. All indications are that he will
shatter his previous record.

Hernandez is barely four in, although the difference in minutes played is gigantic. Berbatov adds
2,223 minutes in the current Premiership campaign, while Chicharito only has 602.

If one takes into account all the tournaments in which ManU participated in the second half of
2010 (Super English League Cup, Champions League competition and FA Cup), the Bulgarian
is the red team's leading scorer with 15 goals but the Mexican ranks second, thanks his seven
goals, besides being the only player in the team to have at least one in every tournament.

His opponent in the fight for the title not already in the League Cup and the Champions League.

The only entry that Hernandez has scored in European competition seemed to give the heart of
the fans of United. It made it to Valencia in the Mestalla stadium on 29 September. The English
team won by the minimum difference, which was a key victory to advance to the knockout
stages.

Former Guadalajara striker has played 942 minutes against Manchester United in official
competitions and is scoring, on average, every 134, lower than that of Berbatov, who
accumulates thousand 608 minutes of participation in all events, so his average is so much a
107.

Both star in the battle to be the companion of Wayne Rooney in attack. The English star is set in
stone for Ferguson, despite only scored a brace (two from the penalty spot).Michael Owen,
Federico Macheda and Baby look relegated to a lower level. In the case of the 'Boy Wonder',
has not played since Oct. 2, due to a hamstring injury.

In the Premier League, the Mexican has played six of the 18 matches played for Manchester
United, started six others and in as many matches came off the bench, while Bulgaria's only
missed three, started 14 and entered one.

The legendary strategist for the Red Devils has expressed confidence that it will have to
Hernandez, but at this point is only filed on Berbatov, this predator of the area to which Javier
seek to overcome in 2011.
