Spurs' strike pair have 43 goals between them during their second campaign together, guiding the club towards their Carling Cup win and mid-table safety after a poor start. With little to play for now, Spurs have struggled for consistency in the last month. They were thrashed by Newcastle last week and Berbatov is determined to bounce back. "I think we must erase the memory of the Newcastle game, it was a disappointing loss for us," he said. They will get the chance this weekend when they face Blackburn at Ewood Park in a match where Berbatov and Keane will again be Spurs' main threat. "Last season was great as well and this season we have proved against we can work together and understand each other," Berbatov said. "I'm very happy that our relationship is like that on the field. Obviously there are games when things are not working right but we know how to play with each other, when one is moving the other wants the ball. It's like a telepathic connection. "That's what I like, he is a great technical player, he thinks with his head when he is playing and that's what I like most about him." Berbatov is expecting a physical test against a Blackburn side who are seventh in the Premier League after another impressive campaign under Mark Hughes. "They are more like a physical team, I know that because I've watched them often," Berbatov added. "It's going to be difficult because we like to play technical football but you have games like that when you have to fight for the three points and that's what we will do. "They have a very good team with big strong defenders and they like to tackle." Berbatov's partnership with Keane has limited the impact of Darren Bent after arriving from Charlton for ￡16.5million in the summer, but chairman Daniel Levy has defended the signing. "Sometimes in transfers you have to take opportunities when they present themselves. It was never a case, as some people are suggesting, of spending the money on a striker without being able to bring in anyone else," Levy pointed out. "One of the reasons we decided to bring him (Bent) in was that we believed one of our other strikers (Jermain Defoe) may be going. "Okay, it didn't happen at the time. But we took the view we wanted a target man - and there are not that many. "We knew were paying a full price but we were competing with a lot of other clubs and took a long-term view." In a rare interview, with FC Business magazine, Levy also discussed transfer policy and looked towards Arsenal as an example of shrewd investment. "It's not about how much you spend on players - it's how you spend it," he added. "Arsenal are the best example of being incredibly skilful in acquiring younger players or doing certain transfers that have not cost a lot of money. "Over the years, they've spent considerably less money than us on a net basis - but look at the success they've had." Berbatov at ￡10.9million looks a bargain, as does the deal to bring Jonathan Woodgate from Middlesbrough in the January transfer window. Woodgate gave his team-mates a wake-up call after the Newcastle defeat, suggesting they needed a "kick up the backside". Head coach Juande Ramos added: "It surprises me that he said one kick up the backside. It should be several!" Spurs earned a memorable draw against Chelsea recently and have defeated West Ham and Portsmouth, but they have not put together a run of victories. "It bothers me a lot," Ramos added. "I don't accept it and I don't understand it. "After the cup competitions, we still have league matches left which perhaps don't seem that much important in terms of the table, but we want to perform, and maintain our performances, and try to make sure that the players put a maximum effort in the matches." Ramos also hinted at bringing in transfer targets to White Hart Lane early in the summer. "It is advisable as the earlier new signings get here the easier it is to prepare the team," he said. "We have got to see how things develop in terms of players who are out of action, those who might come in, to make the club as competitive as possible in order to meet the club's objectives. "We have a very ambitious club and chairman, but we need to see what will happen." ============================================================================== BB希望用他和Keano的心電感應來提升球隊季末的精神 這兩位前鋒在本季和進了43球 現在球季還剩一點但在最近熱刺狀態有些不佳 Berbatov說: " 我想我們必須忘了上週的比賽 這場失敗對我們來說很失望 " " 上賽季非常棒 今年我們已經證明我們可以合作 我們彼此了解 " " 我很高興我們的關係跟在場上一樣好 有些比賽踢不好的時候我們之後如何配合對方 當一個人有動作另一個就給球 就像心電感應一樣 " " 這就是我愛的 他的技術很棒 他用腦袋踢球 這是我最愛他的一點 " 本週的對手是過去七個月表現出色的課本 " 他們是一隻以身體見長的球隊 因為我常常看他們所以我了解 " " 這會有點難 因為我們踢技術球 但是這樣的比賽你還是會全力搶三分 這是我們會做的 " " 他們是一隻好球隊 有很強的防守球員 他們愛好鏟球 " KB配的表現變向的限制了達人的表現 Levy卻為這筆交易護航 Levy說: " 有時轉會市場上你必須抓緊機會 前鋒有這樣的身價也不是第一次 " " 另外一個帶來他的原因是因為我們相信我們陣中的其中一位會離隊 " " 即使沒發生 我們也在找一位target man 這樣的選手不多 " " 我們知道我們出了高價 但是我們有很多對手也想要達人 " Levy同時指出我們的轉會政策會偏向買潛力股 " 跟花多少錢無關 而是如何花球 " " 是最好的例子 他們花小錢找來有技術的年輕球員 " " 近年他們花的錢比我們少 但是比較成功 " 回到比賽的話題Woody已經呼籲隊友要醒醒 他認為他們需要踢屁股一腳 Ramos說: " 他這樣說我很驚訝 這應該很多次了 " 雖然我們擊敗了強豪 但是球員們還是無法全心求勝 " 這很困擾我 我不接受 我也不明白 " " 在盃賽之後我們仍有聯賽 雖然看上去已經不是很重要 但是我們要維持表現 並且確認球員盡最大努力投入比賽 " " 現在談轉會還太早 我們要看事情如何發展 " " 球隊和主席都很有野心 但是我們必須看未來會發生什麼 " -- 心電感應 XD -- Audere est Facere --
