zlatan too selfish to be in 1st team... (5 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

There is no question Ibrahimovic is one of the best target players in the world of football, and that he causes the opposition defense several problems with the way he can hold the ball. The more he runs at the defenders the more the opposition defense has to deal with him, and that means adding more resources to deal with his threat. Despite claims that his selfishness does not help the team, you can see his runs with the ball open up space for other players to fill and takes more defenders away as time rolls on. Once he can consistently make successful passes to other players when he has two or more defenders in his vicinity, he will be the best targetman in the game.

Until then he needs to keep improving his passing and decision making...many times thus far this season we have seen him give the ball away too easily or make a nonsensical pass to the other team. He also needs to make more through balls instead of trying to beat yet another defender, as we have seen him be reluctant to pass the ball away early...sometimes making the quick pass is better than holding it. Once he recognizes the problem and tries to improve, we will have a world class forward on our hands.

Zlatan is one of the best targetplayers in the world. Hardly no one is as good when it comes to take down a long ball, hold it, and pass it on. If you can't see it, just watch the Swedish NT. No one in our NT can hold the ball on the offensive half of the pitch like Zlatan does, and most of our goals goes Zlatan-Wilhelmsson/Ljungberg-Larsson-goal or Zlatan-Larsson-goal. Our NT is build up ALOT around Ibra. You can see when he's not playing what a big dimension we are losing to our game.
What people fail to realize how often he does the same for Juventus, and that we to lose movement in our game when he's not playing. Of course the difference aint as obvious in Juventus were we got subs like Mutu and Del Piero instead of Allbäck and Rosenberg.

And concerning him being selfish and holds on to the ball to long, are you serious? This was a good argument in the begining of last season but now he's proven to be one of the better passing playas of the team and no one can deny the great assists he has provided.

I think he's biggest issue at the moment is him constantly running offside. And that is just something that will come naturally.

Nice to know he does that for the swedish team.
Now the juventus way goes like this .
XXX hits a long ball, Zlatan brings it down, dribbles, goes past one, two three, and then by then you have number one back, and number two back so he dribbles past them again and repeat until he loses the ball.
OR
XXX passes to Zlatan, and then somebody would be open for a chance on net, there is a 1 in 5 chance that Zlatan would pass the ball, and 4/5 chance he will take on 2 or 3 more defenders.

Now what would be nice is that if Zlatan would increase that 1 in 5 chance in passing to 4 in 5 , HELL 2 in 5 is good at this point.

It is nice to know he has superhuman talent, but to be good, he does't need to show off his stuff all the time, all he needs to do is to use his skills appropiately.

I think that's a bit exagerating it. Zlatan isn't as selfish as last season and was selfish for one game this season.
Yes sometimes Zlatan tends to hold on the ball longer but the way that I see it is that he is trying to take it one more step and make the finishing assist. But I see that he does keep the flow of the attack in most games, so I have nothing to complain about.
