My thoughts on Ibra

Celebrating scoring a rare goal for Sweden.


Why does everyone seems to think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a great striker? I don't. He doesn't deserve to play in a big club like FC Barcelona. His biggest achievements are only winning the league titles everywhere he goes, but always a failure on the european matches (look at Ajax, Juve, Inter and now Barca).

He even didn't perform well in the World Cup or any international matches. Let's see him join Arsenal (to make way for Cesc re-joining Barca finally). Maybe he will be the player to help them winning their league title finally, with a cost in the champs league. Or maybe I wanna see him join AS Roma (his favoured choice before Juve and Inter stole him anyway) and bring them as both Serie A champions AND Champions league winner then maybe he'll convinced me.

As for now, though. I think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the most overrated striker in the world. Inter got a great buy in Eto'o. Look at them, they are on course of winning the treble! Barcelona even has realized their mistake. They bought David Villa to replace him swiftly. Let us see where will Ibra go next season. My bet is on Arsenal.

  2. Indeed glory is important. But great players don't have to win everything admittedly. They would just have to perform when it counted. E.g. Roberto Baggio, a genius, won every titles there is with his clubs but the World Cup with his national team. Although he didn't win the world cup. He single-handedly brought his average Italian team all the way into the finals in 94. Where he blasted his penalty shootout.

    And Totti. He played a big role in Euro 00. The best player in the final, but Italy lost because of bad substitutions from the coach. But Totti made amends when he became a key player on Italy's 2006 triumph at the World Cup. Now Baggio and Totti are champions.

    Ibra, however is not the same class as Baggio or Totti. Ibra may single-handedly brought his team to win against an average team. But never when it counted (as we can see in the champions league matches). If Totti played at Juve, Milan, Inter or Barca he would've won everything, unlike Ibra.

Claudio Ranieri : Julius Caesar?

Did you know about Julius Caesar? Let me tell you a little story. Caesar was a famous general from the Republic of Rome. He idolizes Alexander the Great. It was said that he wept at Alexander's tomb seeing he was 32 at the time and haven't done anything drastic. Alexander conquered the world at the age of 25.
