uve power impresses Zlatan
Thursday 21 October, 2004


Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic admits he is surprised by how good his new teammates are.

"This squad really is very strong," he stated. "I’m shocked by the way in which we have dealt with difficulties, such as the loss of David Trezeguet and Alex Del Piero to injury. We will go far."

The Swedish international, who arrived on transfer deadline day in an £11m deal from Ajax, has begun his Bianconeri stint well.

"I’m starting to understand the difficulties of Italian football thanks to my teammates and the Coach," he continued.

"Fabio Capello tells me how to play against Italian defences, underlining the importance of passing the ball quickly because opponents simply don’t give you a chance to dwell on the ball over here."

Although Ibrahimovic has netted three goals in six Serie A games, the 22-year-old is impressing with his overall team play.

Especially after serving up two assists for Pavel Nedved in the last two wins against Messina and Bayern Munich.

"Our understanding of each other is improving all of the time," noted the Euro 2004 star.

"Nedved likes to run down the middle coming in from the left and I like to play one-touch football, it is a way of playing which suits us both."

That's only when Nedved comes in to the middle and Zlatan does like playing one touch football with Nedved beacuse he said "it is a way of playing which suits us both." Zlatan assisted Neved's goal against Bayern Munich with a header when Pavel Nedved ran through the middle, so there you have it, Zlatan like's to play one touch football when Nedved come's into the middle otherwise Zlatan does not play one touch football very often.

Yeah, that's true! Playing one touch football is not really Zlatan-Style. Usually he tries to keep the ball and score himself. On the one hand, it's a bit egoistic, on the other hand it's spectacular...

actually the only positif aspect of zlatan's game that i can see this season is in fact his one touch football... eventough he cant dribble anymore, he still quite good talent making suprise opening through one touch..both of his assist this season come through direct one touches.... his problem this season is he want to play trezeguet'S role using Del Piero's style... which wont be forgiven by Serie A defenders soo deep in their area... its only one touch and clinical finishing if u want to go through that road...

Zlatan is wasting alot of oppertunites I wish he starts scoring. Since Trez was injured he stopped scoring. We cant count on DP and Zala always to deliver .......

I think 3 goals and 3 assists in 7 games is kinda good for a player who aint even close to his potential. :frown: Sure he's not the best on the field, BUT GOTTAM HES GETTING THERE!!!! :fero:

He needs to start showing it on the pitch though.
