The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 and AC Milan striker, stating that he has helped Les Parisiens get rid of their shaky performance just as great players do. The defender doesn’t find himself surprised
at all at Ibrahimovic’s current form, as he stated:
"If Ibra has 19 goals, it's no accident. When he's not there, we play differently. But he's got us out of some sticky situations since the start of the season, that's what great players do.”
Armand thinks that PSG have figured out a strategy to perform well in the absence of Ibrahimovic. The club suffered a series of poor performance following the suspension of the seven-time Guldbollen winner, which showed their reliance on the striker. The
Frenchman explained the situation:
“When he's not there, we don't have a player to hold the ball up, so we do things differently. We make the ball work more, we go more down the flanks, that's what the coach wants. But we can win with him and without him."
The full-back believes that despite a lack of playtime due to the tough competition for the starting line-up, the player feels happy at the Parc des Princes. The 32-year-old knows the importance of the Cup tournaments such as the Coupe de France, where the
team recently won their fixture, against FC Toulouse, to go past the Round of 32. The former FC Nantes player said:
“It was important for me and the team to continue in the cup. For those who play less, it's important to show that we can be counted on. It shows everyone works.”
