The two Paris Saint-Germain employees were ecstatic with their team’s thumping win over Dinamo Zagreb with the Italian tactician hailing the Swede’s influence on the scoreline yet again
Since the beginning of the new season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 has proven himself to be Paris Saint-Germain’s main weapon in their quest for their first Ligue 1 Championelle in almost 18 years and continental domination.
Despite being relatively new to French football, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 man has already scored 12 goals in all competitions for Carlo Ancelotti’s side and has become arguably one of the best and in-form players of the Old Continent this season.
However, in last night’s 4-0 Champions League thumping of Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb, the Swedish giant’s name was not on the score-sheet which is indeed a surprise considering the player’s performances.
In the game against the Croatian champions, Carlo Ancelotti chose to play the 31-year-old as a proper number 10 and the Italian tactician’s plan turned out to be a masterstroke as Ibra had more than a hand in all four goals scored by the hosts as Parc des
Princes.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Guillaume-Hoarau-c15332 scored a goal each for the home side and all four had to thank Ibrahimovic for his efforts in setting them up for their respective goals.
Positioned as a playmaker behind Jeremy Menez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073, Ibra simply thrived in his new-found role and proved why he is considered one of the best players in the world.
And, Carlo Ancelotti was understandably pleased to see his marquee signing perform ever so well in a relatively unfamiliar role.
“Ibra? He played for the team like he can. He can play at number 10, with his passing skills. This is what makes the difference between a great player and a champion. And Ibra is a champion,” launched a buoyant Ancelotti in the aftermath of a victory that
has taken PSG closer to securing a place in the knockout phases of the competition.
“I feel good. We won. I played as a playmaker, but it is not a problem. Personally, I try to help my team by scoring goals. when I cannot do it, I try to help my teammates. It makes me happy,” said a confident Ibra.
