4.5 for Zlatan just for the red card?? I don't know based on what you gave this rating, but Zlatan was one o the better players during the game. Anyone who says that he was selfish is either blind or an idiot. He moved well, he received the balls well and he tried to give passes. His passes were bad though.
Jeeks if it was a red from trying to stop a player from scoring or attacking I would understand..
He could've received a red easily in the first half when he kicked the oponents player. The ref was kind and just gave him a yellow. Now imagine if he was sent off and we had to play the rest of the match with 10 men.
In the first half he did not move at all. He wasn't controlling the ball well.
Fair thing to say is on the 2nd half he has improved quite a bit but still looked out of shape. He got 4.5 for his foolishness.
Zlatan is a terrific player. Damn talented. But he is not going through good times and Capello is not helping him either by keeping him on the pitch.
