Will Zlatan make the 20 Goal Mark upcoming season? (1 Viewer)

[Shoryuken]

I say yes, not only will he have greater confidence after such an impressive first season he will also feel the crowd is on his side after he was voted player of year. This will make Zlatan even better. I predict Zlatan scoring 20 something goals and maybe even winning the top scorer award.

What do u guys think?

i predict him choking. he had a more or less impressive debut season but he might choke easily. yeah, he has the confidence but the presure and expectations will much higher.


how is it called in the us, sophomore slump?

 

[flieeeekke]

oh, and i dont think he'll ever win a topscorer award.

 

[Zlatan]

Probably 20 goals in all competitions, Serie A, CL and Coppa.

I don't think he will score that many goals. Ibrahimovich has never been a striker, more someone who supports the attack. He can score when given a big chance, but he doesn't have the lethal finishing that Trezeguet and such have. He also can't head the ball. He will probably score somewhere between 10 and 18 goals.

this is true, he's not a true striker, but if he manages to put in 15 goals again, plus a few assists and we win another scudetto i will dare to say he had a great season, again..

I agree with Fliakis. I also think he'll be overshadowed by other players the upcoming season. Mutu or Cassano, if purchased, come to mind. Plus Ibrahimovic had the suprise and unpredictabilty factor at his side last season.
Kaka struggled, relatively to his first season, the first half of his second season in serie A as well.

Ibrahimovic reaching the 20 mark, isn't realistic as well.

why not? he scored 16 this season, four more is not much. true he will have more competition, but i think he will also have the most playing time, cuz cappelo likes him more than the others, that's obvious.

I hope so , he has all the capabiliies to do so , it depend can he use his skills perfectly or not especially if he can improve his headers that will give him a huge advantage

true if he was to improve his finishing and heading most of all, i would dare to say he'd be unstoppable.

 

[Daddi]

Don't think he will ever win the topscorer award and I don't think he will score over 20 goals next season. He needs to improve a bit first. Better shots, headers etc. then he might score a lot.

 

[king Ale]

I don't think he can do it because he isn't a striker.but I hope so.

Personally I don't see Zlatan reaching the 20 goal mark, definitely not in Serie A anyways. There's a slight chance that he'll be able to notch up 20 in all competitions but I don't think that he'll manage 20 in Serie A alone because I believe that Capello will rotate the forwards more than he did last season. I do expect Ibrahimovic to improve, but last term he started practically every game and scored 16 goals in all competitions so I don't see him managing 20 this season if Trezeguet, Del Piero and Mutu are all fit.

Last season he scored 16 goals in about 40 games. He definitely isn't going to get as many games this season. Last term it was only him, DP, Trez and Zala and everyone knows what a horrible season it was for Trezeguet on the injury front so Ibra was called upon perhaps a tad bit too much. If Trez stays healthy Zlatan will have to accept more rotation this time round, no doubt about that. It just doesn't make sense overplaying him prior to the World Cup when you have players like Trezeguet, Del Piero and Mutu at your disposal.

Have to agree. I think the second season syndrome could come into it too. I'd be very surprised if he even matched last year's total. He'll do fine though.

 

[simpson-juvefan]

agreed with stu! but i think we also should not judge him on the goals, more then the all over performance and esp. assists which are also very vital!

you make valid points but i still think he can manage 20 goals in serie a. but as i said if he even repeats his 1st season i'm satisfied. i gues we'll just have to wait and see

 

[Stu]

Definitely. I'm confident that Zlatan will have another good season even if I don't think that he'll manage 20 goals. There's more to football than goals, even for a striker.

 

[nedved34]

He will score 20 goals in Serie A alone if he plays regular

 

[Stu]

We'll see...
