Perhaps, perhaps and perhaps.
Zlatan on form doesn't only though them flicks and stand still dribbles. His assist these two years has been really brilliant. Though he got to stop trying to stand still and dribble the opponent as he doesn't have the pace to do so.
I do think Zlatan when he performs performs better then Alex but the latter clearly has a much higher lowest level of play. Neither does he have the influence Del Piero has on the pitch and will never mean what DP means to Juventus to any team. So I am not talking about Zlatan being a better player, I'm just talking about status. As for having a bad season, well Kaká had a bad second season and Adriano was just as bad as Zlatan last year. The first one rebound, the second one will as well and I am pretty sure Zlatan will manage as well.
Oh and I don't think the elbows etcetra are as many as you say. Sure they happen, but he is constantly under watch and anything he does will come with a suspension. To be honest he has done much less crap then I predicted he'd do. I don't think he's an ass, just a little dirty on the pitch. Isn't necessarily a bad thing.
By the way Del Piero's goal in the semi-final? Come on? That must have been the most unnecessary goal in the history of the world cup.
