In the past weeks, Derba has had the distinct honor and pleasure of representing his national region in the the global tournament. In front of thousands in attendance and millions watching around the world, he dawned the uniform that many greats before him had. Like Rashford. And Rashford II. And even in this very team, Rashford III. Being in the locker room with the team, which skews quite young, Derba felt that he could be a standout and help lead the team to success, not only in the coming game, but for the future ahead. However, his zeroed in his focus on the game at hand. Walking out and feeling the crowd rise to greet the stars of the match is an unforgettable moment in young Bimitar's career. As the anthems finished up, he shook the nerves from his fingers and locked onto his two targets: ball and net. He must unite the two. Like Romeo and Juliet, he must bring the fated duo together. So it was written, so it too passed. Derba sliced through all the doubt of being too young and inexperienced for this grand stage. One thing that people will learn throughout the long career of Bimitar Derbatov is that he WILL put ball in net. It is his destiny.
