but 2 of them were revoked for cheating, 2 were in a weakened Serie A league, 1 was in the worlds most uncompetitive league (TM) last year...

His goals are quite often unbelievable but the man has some awesome assists as well.

You think everything in this thread is related to you and your post. Im sorry but just because you make ridiculous statement doesn't mean everyone has to respond to that only, does it? It was kind obvious this wasent a response to your reply. I at least thought so.

Can one not share a favorite video of a side that is often forgotten when one speak of ibra in the ibra thread???

Sorry for assuming your last post was directed to me, considering you:
a - joined the forum specifically to post at me
b - your username is deliberately targeted at me
c - your previous 21 posts were directed at me

Thought it was obvious that my post had absolutely nothing to do with your posts and thats was the very point of it. A video of zlatans assist felt like a great way to steer the discussion in any other way than calcipoli and how good seria a was after it. Its booring as hell ands been discussed to death on most forums. Figured a video of a side less seen that i very much appriciate about ibra was a good way to steer the thread to a more positive place.

A- No! I joined cause the discussion were absurd imo. Little did i know you were / are more or less the only one who really thought the way you do.

B- No! My username was aimed at the discussion because it was absurd imo.

C- No! (well maybe) Most were but thats natural since you are / were more or less the only one who keeps writing posts to show ibra really isent all that. Something i dont agree with and the very reason i joined. Nothing personal!

:yawn:

Sorry Zlatan. You have the distinction of being the most exciting player on and off the field, and with the most boring thread on FIF.

Posted this in the icardi thread, but it made me laugh.

Funnily enough Ibrahimovic has only scored 1 goal against Juve (in 9 matches) in his entire career, according to transfermarkt.

Icardi 4 in 3

Yes, but that really shows how statistics can be really deceiving. Icardi is probably one of the least skillful strikers we've had in the last 10 years and is basically a spectator until he scores a goal, but those stats would suggest that he's a worldclass striker who can score against fantastic defenders

Indeed, which is why I posted it more as a point of amusement than something to take too seriously :)

As I've said elsewhere, though, I don't care how a player makes an impact, but rather, the impact that they make. I'm not really a huge fan of Mario Gomez, but any team in the world would kill to have a player who can score every game, no matter how many chances they miss.

And yet he's at Fiorentina :slick: I know I know, by choice but still shows a lack of ambition on his part. As for Ibra I thought this was settled.... he's brodering world class, the talent is there but mentally he just can't kick it. The games vs Barca in the 09/10 clearly show this. And then the games vs Juventus where Chellini owned him each and every time. I had a mate like that. In training he could dribble the whole field and do a rainbow flick over the keeper. But when it came to the real thing especially the cup games he just disappeared. coach benched him and we ended up winning. go figure.

Not a fan of goal.com, but I wanted to post this:
http://www.goal.com/en/news/1716/ch...e-only-winner-in-robben-struggle?ICID=HP_BN_8

If you want to see how Pep Guardiola deals with Problem Bears, read Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography. The invective towards Pep spits up off every page he's mentioned. What also hits you is the lack of a Champions League medal. Pep has plenty of those and he didn't win them with players like Zlatan.

This was the swaggering Swede's assessment of the Barcelona dressing room: "Everybody was quiet and polite and a team player, and sometimes I'd think, these guys are superstars. Yet they behave like schoolboys."

They submit to the collective. They win trophies.

No, but I've heard about some of the allegations he makes in it. Nonetheless it doesn't change the fact that Pep is the one with the CL medals, and Ibrahimovic is not.

That quote from goal.crap you posted is totally out of context. Ibrahimovic was actually complementing the Barca players. You know, the world class ones like Zlatan.

I didn't take that quote as an insult, in fact. I took it as a sign of a team, and its team players, who know their place.

I've taken to flatly denying all Zlatan quotes from now on. They're usually started by some ''epic meme football'' page and just catch on.
