http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, if his side are to beat AC Milan in the Champions League.
The Gunners have already gone up against the Swedish striker, back when he used to play as for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. The towering striker scored twice against the North London club in 2010 and Wenger does not want him to do the same this time around.
Ibrahimovic has been in prime form over the course of the last couple of months and his goal scoring abilities seem to be back to their best once again. As a result, Wenger has urged his team to prevent the striker from getting an extra second on the ball,
since it could result in the team conceding a goal.
Wenger, who is wary of the forwards’s threat, is quoted to have said: "He is a great player"
"If you look at his record, at what he has won, he has his own personality based on a strong belief in himself.”
"That is a quality at the top level that can sometimes be seen as over-confidence but I don't think he is because he turns up with performances in the big games.”
The Gunners boss also went on to reveal that at one point, the striker was being looked at by the North London club as a potential signing. However, with the team failing to make a move for the player, he ended up joining Ajax instead.
"That's why I believe he was at the Arsenal training ground before his career. Before he moved to Ajax we were interested in him, and he made a great career."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 is more than likely going to be responsible for blocking Ibrahimovic during the game. Having played with Ibrahimovic at Ajax, the defender is more than aware of the threat that the striker possesses and is going to use his experience and
knowledge of the player to get the upper hand.
With both the team’s possessing two of the best attackers in the world at the moment, the game will be decided by how well the teams can defend in the game.
