Ronaldo."Those were the words spoken earlier this week by Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger when asked about the performances of Paris
Saint-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Frenchman went on to say that
the Swedish international is at the peak of his career and best
understands how to use his skills, and that the emphatic results we've
been seeing of late from Ibrahimovic are simply a result of his
eventual "arrival" as a complete and modern striker.
But those words will all be glossed over given the severity of his
opening statement.
Zlatan—the enigmatic, slightly odd but incredibly talented
striker—being as good as the two players who are undisputedly heralded
as the world's best?
Surely not, but perhaps there's some merit to Wenger's statements—at
least in terms of the 2013/14 season.
Through 11 league games this season, Zlatan's Paris Saint-Germain are
yet to be beaten, and much of that comes down to their star striker.
Ibrahimovic has netted five goals at a conversion rate of 11.9
percent, and has already created 20 goalscoring chances with three
assists. By the time you throw in his 32 headers won from 41 attempts,
it's clear just how much of a focal point he is to their attack and
how damaging he can be with the ball at his feet.
