Zlatan Ibrahimovic

[Besnik]

Thanks man!! :thumbsup:

 

[Sassuolu]

Ibra scored a goal early on today was it any good?

 

[DIN011]

I've heard that it was nice.

 

[rfU]

damn, scored another for Barca. missed it but can't have been better than Messi's goal. and what a ball over the top from Xavi. Excellent. Maxwell is playing ok

 

[The_Emperor]

He seems to be doing quite good. Scoring every game thus far. Good for him I guess.

 

[Sassuolu]

What a strike by Alves, my God I'm glad we held them now 3-0 after half an hour against Atletico.

Beg to differ, Maxwell has looked quite poor today, IMHO...Very disappointing performance from thus far

Xavi said something about Inter playing boring football and it would be much nicer if they played more like Atletico Madrid. I wonder why he would want that? :doh:

don't think so. But at least he's invovled in the build play. Ibra just stands there

Yeah I wonder... maybe it has something to do with Barca scoring 4 goals in the first half against Ateltico's "beautiful" football

Barca's players get frustrated when the cant break up strong defences while playing against top European teams...they got used to playing in Spanish league against teams that open their legs like Jenna Jameson...In spain teams hardly defend that why so many goals are scored there...

When you play 9-10 behind the ball, opponents will find it hard to score as well as be frustrated...Either you're playing football or you're playing scared is my take

 

[K.I.]

When you are defendin with 9-10 that doesnt mean thats all what you are doing ALL the game.

No you are just playing smart tactical football. Why would you go guns blazing when you know going that approach you will lose. Chelsea showed the way last season and the smart sides will copy that approach when playing barca. No side can barca currently as far as possession football goes so the smart move is defend diligently and hit them with a sucker punch either a counter or a set piece.

 

[Rimpel]

saw his goal on youtube, he made that finish look rly easy. Good for him.

In the games that matter, it's better to win (or draw) playing "scared", than losing playing "nice"

Nicely done by Ibra. He had a fine game.

 

[sergiu.inter]

are u guys ever gonna stop talking about this guy?!

Hmm let's see. Best scorer for Inter last three years, leading scorer in Italy last season, large part of last three Inter scudettos. Now playing in one of the worlds most famous teams and also in Inters CL group.

Conclusion: No, I don't think we will stop talking about Zlatan for quite some time, especially not in his own thread.

About last nights game: First half was really nice, second half Barca slacked off and they also stopped feeding balls to Zlatan, with most of the balls going to Messi and then nowhere or out to Alves. Maxwell was not as good this time as he was the last time. Lots of corners permitted by him that you normally expect Barca defenders to be able to avoid by smart passing. He also needs to be a bit more offensive buy I guess that is up to Pep to decide since I guess Maxwell is just doing what he is told to when it comes to postitioning. Same goes for Zlatan, but people don't seem to realise that. In the first half the position worked really nice (Zlatan hanging around jsut behind Atleticos defensive line and available for second wave passes that goes first to another playing running to come in behind the line as well). Second half it wasn't any real pressure which meant that Zlatan wasn't as involved. Still a nice lob to Messi before Messis magic when setting up Keita. You could also tell that Zlatan is slowly getting back to normal form in terms of running. He moves a lot more this match.
