Then came the signing of Fabio Cannavaro and Zlatan Ibrahmovic and everything changed. After a couple of awkward seasons with Inter, Cannavaro has proved to be a invigorating force in central defence, paired with Lilian Thuram - whom Lippi had played as a right back too often for the Frenchman's liking - while the Swede has been a surprising star up front.
Do not cringe at my use of the adjective 'surprising': as an accomplished Swedish international and a regular Champions League performer, Ibrahimovic should have been seen as a sure bet, but there's a disgraceful tendency among Italian media - myself included - and fans to think a player is not worth his weight in feathers unless he proves to be able to perform at the highest level, and that level is often seen to be Serie A, although that increasingly looks like a delusional thought.
Ibrahimovic has been playing very well, holding the ball up front, acting as a target man and as a provider, with an impressive arsenal of ball skills for a man his size.
He's sometimes too clever for his own good - 60% of his touches seem to consist of flicks and backheels - but his contribution to Juve's start of the season has been massive.

Costacurta: Zlatan Similar To Van Basten
12/20/2004 12:01:00 PM
Milan defender Billy Costacurta has compared Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the great Marco Van Basten.
The pair faced off in Saturday’s 0-0 draw between the two sides, and Costacurta said: "Ibrahimovic is among the best in the world. He seems very similar to Van Basten in some movements, but he must still mature and develop."
Zlatan has scored seven Serie A goals this season.

Zlatan has scored seven Serie A goals this season.
Actually this year he was just 13 places from winning the ballon d'or, and papers like the Gazzetta thinks hes wearing Juventus by he's sholders. People like Van Basten, Vialli and Nedved thinks he can be the best one day.
And stuff like letting the ball go at the right time will come the more he plays for Juve, I already see big changes in him comparing from when he started. And he is only 23 years old.
So I'd say he's future is looking pretty bright.

The people who think Zlatan is garbage should take things in perspective. He walked into Juventus on the deadline day and has already become our best forward. Not even half the season has gone by, and already people are calling him garbage. I think what he has done so far is very promising and he can only improve with every match he plays. Costacurta does not call Zlatan the next Van Basten for nothing you know. The potential he has is quite amazing if you ask me.
I think that Zlatan has show that he has great potential, and I hope he can become our future star... he has alot to learn and that shows that he only can become a better player, so if you have in account that he has score 7 goals in his first season in Serie A, you can see that he will become a great force for Juve...
