Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Disclaimer: This is all opinion-based. If you have any comments voice them below.
Coming in next on the list is none other than the cockiest
player in the world (possibly besides Nicklas Bendter), Zlatan Ibrahimovic. When
you translate his name in Yugoslavian, Zlatan means “golden.” That is exactly
what he is. He had an impressive run of 10 straight league titles with Inter Milan,
Barcelona, and AC Milan. Now he plays for big-spending giants Paris
Saint-Germain and is lighting up the French Ligue 1.
He led PSG in goals last season and led them to their first
Ligue 1 title in 19 years, as well as to the quarterfinals of the UEFA
Champions League, only to lose to Barcelona. Ibra can be described as a fierce
competitor. He wants to win more than anybody else on the field and he surely
lets his teammates know it. Often times you can find Ibra yelling at a teammate
to get him the ball when he’s open.
His size is the first thing that people notice. With a 6’4
frame you might think he is tall, lanky, and awkward. But in reality he is
tall, strong, and athletic. There have been an abundance of back-heel and
bicycle kick goals from his feet since he became a professional footballer.
Although he is 31 years old, Ibra is still playing like a man in his prime
(look at his hat trick against Anderlecht in the Champions League on
Wednesday).
The Golden One will continue to be a key figure in the
football world. With a birth for the World Cup on the line, look at Zlatan
Ibrahimovic to try and lead Sweden over powerhouse Portugal and a player you
might see later on in this list.
