Ibrahimovic reveals rift with Pep Guardiola as his main reason to leave the Camp Nou
A.C Milan striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, has revealed his rift with Barcelona manager, Pep Guardiola, during his Catalan days.
The Swedish international recently mentioned his reasons for leaving the European Champions in his autobiography and has revealed the relations with the manager as the main issue. The 30-year-old joined the Catalan giants in a
swap move with Samuel Eto’o. However, after just spending two seasons at the Camp Nou, he decided to leave the club and moved to A.C Milan on the deadline day of the 2010/11 summer transfer window.
Ibrahimovic revealed that it was his dream to play for Barcelona one day and after accomplishing that, he was over the moon. However, despite impressing in his centre forward role in the early part of his Catalan career, Guardiola
swapped his position with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who wanted to occupy the role.
The former Juventus star admitted that he could not adjust in the manager’s new system and he told him that thing but from that time, he started ignoring him and dropped him to the bench.
“It was a childhood dream [to join http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604] and I was walking on air. It started well but then Messi started to talk. He wanted to play in the middle, not on the wing, so the system changed from 4-3-3 to 4-5-1. I was sacrificed
and no longer had the freedom on the pitch I need to succeed.”
“So I asked for a meeting with Guardiola - for a discussion, not an argument. I said I was being used in the wrong way and that they shouldn't have bought me if they wanted another type of player.”
