Basically I watched some of Zlatan's videos and I have to admit that this kid is indeed talented, but definitely not in the same level as Ronaldinho. In fact I would compare him with Joe Cole, becos both players doesn't know when to use their tricks at the right time. Another similarity is that both players like to showcase their tricks, but completely forget that a football game is 90 minutes, not after scoring a goal. This is what Mourinho doesn't like about Joe Cole.
I will say that Mourinho has the upper hand in handling players like that. He benchs Cole when his tricks got to his head. The main problem here is Capello. Since everybody knows that he uses the 4-4-2 formation and Zlatan will definitely be in the starting 11, BOTH Del Piero and Mutu are scapegoats becos both players played in that position too. Capello wants to develop Zlatan into the next Van Basten, but this move stresses Zlatan even more, partially due to his ego and Capello. And these 2 factors led to the deterioration of Zlatan's form. When Zlatan has just recovered from injury, he is called back to play against Bremen compared to an on form DP and even Mutu when Capello can play with 3 forwards comprising of Trezeguet, Zlatan, DP and Mutu.
Actually 24 is not a young age and a player should already be developing into a superstar, but for Zlatan, he is having a terrible season due to the stressed given to him and Italian defenders have also learnt how to deal with him. If u guys wanna pick on Zlatan alone, please don't. It is very unpredictable how a player performs in a game. When he doesn't perform, everybody just go to his head and cry, just like the days DP has been experiencing the last season. The same goes to Zlatan as well. We should give him more time and patience.
As my fellow guitarist axlrose85 said, give Zlatan a break. He truly deserves it.
