I originally thought it happened while the ball was in play, but after seeing those pics...so what actually happened? it certainly doesn't make Zlatan look good

Zlatan is a dirty player. We don need this crap.... everyone always *****'s bout how refs cut us the most slack. This was just stupid. The guy is so full of himself.

I would say, it was just funny! Many people may be angry about him, but I really enjoy watching such Zlatan-Moves and Zlatan-Actions... He's a player with southern roots! That's why he is a bit more lively than other Swedish/Scandinavian players! BUT guuuuuuuys...We are in ITALY!

And that was definitely not rough! That was just funny, so laugh about it!

No, the ball wasn't in play at the time. Juve had won a free kick and everyone was queueing up awaiting the delivery. There was an altercation between Zlatan and an Udinese player as they were seen quarreling and Ibrahimovic headbutted the guy. I'm not sure whether the ref saw or not because the incident definitely warranted a booking.

well if it was off play and the ref didnt do anything about it then they cannot do anything about it

I'm certain if the referee saw it. Becos I heard the commentor saying: "Had the referee seen it, it would have been a red card." So I cannot conclude if the referee sees it or not.

But I think that the Udinese defender falling to the ground is a fake. I can't imagine if such a headbutt can create such a heavy impact that the defender falls to the ground.

The ref saw it, but didn't give the card for the situation. The reason why, the Udinese player's dive was so fake, he felt it wasn't necessary to card them and that they should just continue playing. Had the Udinese players circle the ref in complaint, Zlatan would have gotten a red and the Udin player would have probably recieved one too.

I think that if there's a controversy between players it's logical, that there are 2 players being responsible, at least 2 players and not just 1! On the one hand, Zlatan's action didn't look very clean, but on the other hand the Udinese players wouldn't deserve a fairplay-award either! The only difference is, that their fouls aren't as spectacular as Zlatan's headbutt...but probably more painful!

Yes, but Zlatan should really stop doing this sort of things every month. Hid behaviour has improved over the years though, so maybe Capello can get the rest sorted.

After all the Udinese player started tugging his shirt. But Zlatan's response was really stupid.

Capello should lecture him bout his behaviour cos he is kinda hot-tempered.

Okay, he is... But I think that everyone knew about Zlatan's temper...even before he came to Juventus. So I think, they should have thought about that before the transfer! He didn't change when he moved from Malmö to Ajax, so I don't think, that he'll change now because Capello tells him...Definitely NOT!!!

I think, that we should accept him...He has a strange behaviour, but that's him...Take it easy!

The Udinese player definitely made a meal of the situation, but still, headbutting someone is a certain red card offence.

Yeah...but he didn't get a red cart...and I think, that we should be glad about that instead of complaining... Zlatan is a great player and that's important!
Of course, or else we will be in deep trouble in the future matches against Messina and Bayern.
